When did the light-duty trucks become judged based on features and fuel economy? Is this the new way of judging work trucks? For me, a light-duty truck needs to be reliable, simple, and be able to perform duties consistent with a light-duty truck. Ford has now come out with a lighter body to compensate for its weaker turbo-charged engine. In addition, when I test drove the truck I still couldn't figure out the electronics after spending 2 hours with the system. This truck just screams low reliability, high repair bills and low resale value. The GM brands are definitely a step up from the Ford in terms of logic for electronic systems, but can you trust them with as many recalls that they've had in the past few years? The Ram (in my opinion) is the closest in terms of what I consider to be a good work truck, but personally I don't trust their drive train (clearly they don't either as they're reducing their warranty program). I was looking for a reliable truck that's easy to use and can get the job done, the Tundra was the only option that I was comfortable with. As a previous reviewer noted, the Tundra is tied (per Edmunds article by Carroll Lachnit) with the Ford for the "Most American" truck based on percentage of U.S. / Canadian content, so you can't use the argument to "buy American" against the Tundra. Even if it's global headquarters are in Japan, it's ownership (like Ford, GM, and Chrysler) is scattered throughout the world as a publicly traded company. I just hope the engineers are very careful to not "follow the Jones'" to a luxury vehicle and stick with one of the last great light duty work trucks.

I drove a F350 7.3 for 12 years and traded for a Tundra limited 5.7 4x4. I am very impressed so far. Very nice very strong, poor gas mileage @14, but it can run on 85 or 87 fuel. So far I could not be happier.

Updated comment as 12/19/2021 Almost 90k miles now and still drive as a new truck. I haven't had any issues at all , the warranty on the truck is over ! I haven't had time to panic bc ik that there won't be any problems, just waiting for 100k to do a service that requires at that point, $2k on that and will be good to go for another few more yrs without any breaking the bank. Heard the 5.7l is out of the market and they won't bring this engine back again. Changed to gel battery AMG bc the OEM started to leak and my wires needed some cleaning up And since then no problems . I added the sway bars TRD (what an improvement) also added the Skid plate TRD for easier oil changes. Still have issues with tires, no matter what brand , still fishtailing at times , when wet roads. Moved to NW and WA state is raining all day all night. At 100k will update the real costs and you will see what I know the Toyota tundra is one of the best damn trucks out there. Good luck

Hello... Please let me explain.. I am a LOYAL Toyota Fan Boy! Actually 56 years old. This is my 3rd Toyota Tundra. 2006, 2010, and this one I'm rating is 2016 Tundra Crewmax Limited. I love this truck. But I am rating this a "1" star for the following reasons. And please, read this if you are considering purchasing one and this tip to do on the test drive. I purchased my 2016 Crewmax new and at about 1,000 miles the truck started vibrating at approximately 48-50 mph when it was in 6th gear (overdrive). The Tundra is a 6 speed automatic (overdrive). I took it to the dealer I purchased it from and the mechanic diagnosed and verified my problem. This is where the problems begin. He then got on the phone to "Toyota Tech Line" and they had him "move the tires around", which he did. Bottom line. It didn't fix the vibration around 48-50 mph. So I met with the "regional corporate dude" who went for a ride with me and he even verified the issue but said that the "new one" we drove on the lot did it worse so it was classified as "characteristic". What??? Worse than mine?? That my friends is "corporate speak" for "blow off" / "cover up". So, I took it to another Toyota Dealer and had the mechanic go for a ride. He verified and diagnosed that I had a problem. He even took his laptop computer on a ride after speaking to the Toyota Tech Line and they said to hit the button on his laptop computer every time he felt the problem. He came back and told me he "hit the button" over 100 times. Thus.. Houston, we have a problem verified by 2 Toyota mechanics and the "regional dude". I am heading back for one more time to attempt to get it fixed. The problem is actually getting worse. I currently have about 8,000 miles on my truck. As I stated earlier, I am a complete "Toyota Fan Boy", but the sheer and utter disrespect shown not only to me, but the Toyota Certified Mechanics who are working hard and wanting to fix the problem shown by the "corporate regional guy" is unacceptable and something I would expect from GM, Ford, or Chrysler. But Toyota.... No way. I know they try to "care" about their customers, but with the way I have been "jerked around" and humiliated by the "corporate regional guy" has taken its toll. I guess that's why God created "Lemon Law Attorneys". So, PLEASE READ THIS..... IF YOU ARE THINKING OF BUYING A TOYOTA TUNDRA, PLEASE, ON YOUR TEST RIDE, GO APPROX. 48-50 MPH AND LET IT BE IN 6TH GEAR AND HOLD IT THERE. If you feel the vibration, RUN. Know that they are not going to fix it and call it "characteristic". If you can live with that, then so be it. But, don't say I didn't try to inform and help you in this matter. In fact, according to the 2 mechanics that worked on the truck, apparently there are more people than me "squeaking" about this problem. It is a problem / issue! Best wishes! UPDATE: 3/26/18: I filed a "Lemon Law" suit and "settled" with Toyota and have since gotten rid of this 2016 Tundra. I have purchased another 2018 Tundra. Please be aware. This 2018 is also doing the exact same thing as my 2016 did, but not quite as bad. I am not mechanical but I know what I "hear" and "feel". The Toyota factory trained technicians have stated it's a torque converter issue and Toyota just won't fix it and would rather fight you than fix it. If you can live with the vibration, then otherwise it's a GREAT truck. Remember: BUYER BEWARE!

First of all, the Tundra will get decent gas mileage if driven sanely. Feel's like a much more expensive vehicle than $39k . Mr. Sweers is correct about 5.7 iforce being a "kickass" engine., no need to change. Just love about all of the Tundra. This is an update.... my 2015 Tundra is king of the road, especially after a rough winter. I just feel extremely fortunate that Toyota is actually concerned about high quality. 9/13/17 Now have 34100 miles clocked...without a hiccup. Don't want to get complacent though. This Tundra is amazing.
