Electronic Braking Controller Failure after three years and <80k miles. This is about 10% of the trade in value of the vehicle. Based on web searched, these brake controller issues seems to be systemic with Tundras with many owners waiting for a recall. Often problem can be solved with a cheaper fix but dealers insist on replacing the most expensive part.

Great truck. I absolutely love it. Gas mileage sucks but I traded in a Titan for it so I am used to it. Great towing. Like the title says It will pass anything except a gas station the large gas tank is great but You pay to fill it up. The sound system blows and I replaced the speakers and added a way bigger amp. Otherwise its an awesome vehicle. Toyota has a great maintenance and service program free for the first 3 years. With fantastic resale value the negatives are off set by the positives

Bought our 2016 Tundra Platinum in June of 16. The Platinum edition with crew max cab is wonderful! Great lines!! The ride is quite nice and road noise minimal. It tows our 5,000 travel trailer without effort, even over the Continental Divide. Since my first review I discovered the 80% rule for towing supposedly doesn’t apply for a Toyota truck. I have learned on line via a very not well known website that dealers have no clue about, Toyota tests their truck’s towing ability using 100 degree temperatures, significant climb gradients, & at a high altitude. We just upgraded to a 7,000 lb rv trailer. Adding 1,000 lbs for 2 bodies, food, drinks, etc will put us at 8,000lbs. Time will tell having a 9,600 max tow. Improving just a few features would do much to put this vehicle ahead of others. The manual locking tailgate is one of the biggest issues with this vehicle. It's very important to keep the tailgate locked. If the tailgate is left unlocked, the camera for backup can be stolen in minutes costing owners thousands of dollars. I store lots of stuff in and out of the bed - groceries, camping items, skis, suitcases, etc. Almost useless having a key fob, when you're still required to get out keys and lock the tailgate. To leave the truck in a secure manner one must not only remember to use the key fob to lock up the truck but also remember to use an old fashioned key and lock the tailgate. Recently I purchased an after market electronic tailgate lock. The lock is now operated by way of the key fob - an enormous improvement. Yet one problem remains. Toyota has failed to incorporate the tailgate into the door warning system so there's no warning if the tailgate has been left open. There is no after market mod that can be done to incorporate a tailgate into the door warning system. As mentioned in other reviews the instrumentation design and lighting is inadequate and outdated. During the daytime and the period of dusk and dawn, without the headlights on, one cannot hardly read the instrument panel. During daytime operations, even with the headlights on, the instrumentation looks quite Plain Jane - bland and dreary, almost a throwback to the 40s and 50s. Not only is background lighting poor, but design as well. Why would a driver want to keep an eye on engine rpm, oil temperature, pressure, water temp, etc? A driver needs to see where he is going and the speed that he is going. Airplanes have secondary info such as oil pressure, fuel gauges, and oil temp in the center of the instrument panel and primary instruments such as navigation and speed smack dab in front of their eyeballs!! Toyota needs to relocate the GPS info where the current speedometer and tach is located. Speed would be the only other information that a driver should have right in front of him/her. That could easily be provided in the map feature of the GPS with digital readout like Ford had in the 70’s!! The door lock and window controls do not have background lighting. How easy would that be to fix?? The truck has an old school radio antenna screwed into the passenger side fender. I took it through a car wash and it busted off. It needs to be manually removed for car washes. Thankfully I was able to use a drill to get the broken base of the antenna out of the fender. As the antenna broke off the fender, it proceeded to scratch the fender paint as well as it went flying through the air. A new antenna about $70. But there’s more. The button for retracting the side view mirrors is in a bad place. Hard to locate as it is right in the middle of a group of other switches. Not only is the mirror retract button in a bad location, but it along with the entire mirror adjustment panel does not have background lighting making it impossible to adjust or retract the mirrors in dark conditions!! So when I pull the truck into the garage at night, I have to either get out a flashlight or turn on the interior lights in order to see the mirror controls. Concerning towing, the tiny green indicator indicating engagement of the transmission for towing is hardly noticeable in the instrument panel. I often don't notice I do not have it engaged when I begin towing. There ought to be some sort of feature for the transmission that detects the vehicle is pulling something. IF the towing button is not pushed there ought to be some warning that appears. One more thing concerning mirrors. Toyota doesn’t manufacture towing mirrors that include the same features that the optional side view mirrors have, such as blind spot indicators. Cheap tires. At 20K miles, tires are shot. A Tundra would be a very exceptional truck w/o these issues. Spending $50,000 on a vehicle requiring drivers to manually lock and unlock a door (tailgate), purchase towing mirrors, have controls that can't be seen at night, & an airbag warning lite that is on full time, U have to be kidding!! Warning lights warn of a faulty system or if something is off that should be on!

Bought a 2017 1794 Tundra all I expected my third one. Really like 1794 interior concerned it might be hard to keep clean.Had two Limited ,might be more durable and easier to keep clean
