It's been awhile since owning a truck. Fuel economy is as expected, ride quality, quietness fit and finish and electronics amazing. 1794 is upgraded interior, nice appearance similar to king ranch or Laramie longhorn. *** Updating review after 2 years of ownership. Truck mechanical has been flawless, engine did not "break in" until about 15,000 miles. I keep meticulous records on maintenance and fill ups. The best mileage I ever realized was 17.9 MPG on a long trip from NC to Atlanta. The worst mileage was driving from KC to Kentucky towing a fully loaded trailer doing > 70 MPH on the trip, where I only achieved 8.9 MPG. Typical mileage for this vehicle now is mid 15. Truck is spacious and comfortable. We have 2 boys and a toddler in a car seat, who all fit comfortably in the rear seat. It did take me awhile to get used to the Toyota media system, and I do not think it is cutting edge by any means. The bluetooth phone connection only uses a single dash speaker for the caller audio and is also not as good as was expected. Also of note, the AUX USB input is designed for Apple iPhones only. I moved from iPhone to Android and lost the ability to use this input/charger method and had to move to Bluetooth only. Besides these minor concerns I love this truck, and the value of the vehicle. I would recommend the Tundra to anyone. ****4 year update**** Mechanical has been awesome, recently replaced rear shocks and added timbren bump stops, as factory shocks gave out. Have 70K miles now, and also replaced brakes with upgraded vented disks and pads for towing. Truck is going up well and still looks new. **** 6 Year Update **** Truck is now at 105,000 miles. Mechanical is still doing well, paint and interior are still in amazing shape. Only challenge I have noticed is the headlight lenses are going "Foggy". I am looking forward to having this truck for many more years. **** 8 Year Update **** 140,000 Mile update. Currently have a antifreeze leak, that I believe is the discussed intake valley coolant leak (I have not addressed it yet). Other than that, they truck is still in great shape. At 140,000 miles I have been thinking of doing some suspension bushing replacements.

I love my truck. Only needed to make minor modifications, like a steel bumper, and light bar. I’m towing more than I used to, and wish there were a diesel heavy duty Toyota would make. For an adult that does drive off road, but needs a daily driver, this is perfect. Not one problem! Towing mileage with a large horse trailer drops to about 10mph, but that about normal for a half ton. Ended up needing another, larger truck. So I’m going to have to sell. Still wish a 1 ton was made by toyota

Out the gate I will give you the only negatives (more like just OK instead of great) about this truck. First, the suspension in the rear is stiff/tight (to handle the 10K lb tow capacity); it rides like a 4WD that tows 10K lbs. Secondly, the gas mileage is below average. The trade off gives one a responsive power plant of an engine. This bad boy out accelerates the competition with and without a load. Thirdly, Toyota has got to get on board with some more USB ports...seriously....1? I've driven many trucks and managed a fleet of half ton to 2 ton trucks. Really, the Tundra is now more like an F-250 or Chevy/Ram 2500s than the F150, 1500s. Test drive all of the half tons and see which one makes you feel like you're driving a beast. It's the Tundra hands down. The other half ton pick ups really don't hold a candle. Pros...you'll be on the side of the road with a breakdown 75% less than if you buy a Dodge , Chevy, or even Ford (best domestic in my opinion). Resale value best of them all. Turn radius is great for a 4WD truck this size. Crew Max is ridiculously roomy. This truck just kicks azz. All you really have to understand is what you're getting...a powerful, roomy, reliable, SERIOUS truck that won't let you down. If you're not going to tow or go offroad, and really just want a truck for the family and occasionally haul a piece of furniture...get an F-150.

New but not improved

New but not improved. The engine, transmission, and body remain the same which is good. However some smaller items have been changed. Duel climate control is only on the Limited version and higher. Grab handles for assist into the cab are no longer there. The two glove boxes is now one. The flip open pen holders in the door front doors are gone. Most notable the rear seat used-to slide forward and lean back for rear passenger comfort and sleep. Also the rear seatback no longer leans forward to allow storage behind the rear seat. The area behind the old seat allowed for storage of overalls, tools, jacket, boots and even a fishing rod. The small space below the new rear seats provide much less storage. Exteriorly the bumper now is a three piece bumper versus previous one piece solid bumper. Many of these smaller changes save cost of production and probably don’t influence sales. It’s good Toyota is finding ways to reduce cost of production however the cost savings doesn’t appear to be passed onto consumers. I would still recommend Toyota for its reliability. Luckily I don’t have to replace my old truck yet. Maybe the next truck will be new and improved. One area of improvement could be larger A/C indicator lights. Right now the indicator lights including park and drive often need to be shadowed to be seen. Another improvement could be to change the angle of the windshield. Remember old trucks with nearly straight up windows? The straight angle was for a purpose, to reduce interior heart and glare. CPT Robert Auch RN

Only possible complaint I have with this truck is the fuel economy. I average about 13. However, I do drive interstate most of the time with average speed of 75. This is not a problem for me though I did a lot of research before buying and was aware of the below average fuel economy. The overall quality, comfort, and style of the truck more than makes up for it to me.
