Used 2017 Toyota Tundra Double Cab Consumer Reviews
2017 Toyota Tundra 5.7 SR5
I bought my Tundra 3 years ago used from a dealer in Orlando. Prior to this truck I owned a 1992 Ford Ranger and I had a 2000 F150 that I drove for 14 years. I have always been a Ford guy and would have remained one but with the evolution of technology in the industry I began to look at the Tundra. For me all the bells and whistles mean nothing. I look at a vehicle and take stock of all the potential problems that can arise over time. Ford has way more stuff on their trucks now that you don't need and most of those things don't make the truck better or more usable. For me, I want a solid truck that's dependable, will pull my boat and camper, and will get me home on time! And oh yea, if you want to save gas, don't buy a truck, get a Prius! I don't care about gas mileage, it's a truck. The Tundra is a solid ride with all you need to get the job done in any condition. It pulls strong, rides nice, and hauls everything I need. It's hands down the best truck on the market today for the true truck person out there. Don't get me wrong, I see other trucks that look sharp and I'm sure they do the job well but for me Toyota understands the truck culture and world view better than the other companies and builds to suit that group. I look forward to many camping and fishing trips in this truck and even enjoy driving it to work. Oh yea, the wife loves it as well. The only down side is I can't seem to park this thing straight when I back in the driveway. It's been 1.5 years now and I can't figure out why I'm crooked every time. Might be me!

Loving my Tundra
We bought our 2017 5.7 SR5 double cab Tundra new on June 9th 2017, so I think I can do a review now. I absolutely love my truck for reasons that were important to me: dependable, reliable and affordable ($32k out the door), although affordable is in the eye of the beholder, but compared to The F-150, 5.0L, Chevrolet Silverado 1500 5.3L and Ram 1500 5.7L which all start around $50k. I’ve read and reviewed several Tundras that achieved 800,000 to 1,000,000+ miles with their original engine and transmission, and with all respect I don't believe the others could make that claim without rebuilding or replacing the engine and or transmission. I owned a new 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 5.3L for 16 years and I have to say I enjoyed the first few years but it was constantly needing some sort of repair. Right off the lot the main computer fried, later the alternator short circuited, radio fried, rear brakes froze, rear window defrost broke as did the plastic frame around the window, front shocks leaked and many other things. Only reason we held on to it was we never paid so much for a truck and many of these things happened during the warranty period. Although our tundra does not have all the bells and whistles I don’t miss them nor will I miss them Braking. As to some saying it’s bad on gas, my Avalanche had a 5.3L 268 horsepower and got 11-12 mpg towing out 19’ camper, the Tundra is 5.7L 368 horsepower and I get 12-14 mpg towing the same camper. I look forward to at lease 25 years of great service out of my Tundra with regular service 😊

Toyota Tundra SR5 TRD Package
Nice truck, handles well, comfortable, smooth ride. Only thing missing is a few bells and whistles that are on comparable Ford/Chevy trucks. No turn signals in mirrors, no power rear window, no dual climate controls. These were standard on my old 2010 Toyota Tundra 4X2. It would have been nice to have these, but I gave them up for the long term benefit. I expect my Tundra to last a lot longer than the other pickups on the road. Too bad Toyota cut back on these on this model, you have to get the Limited, Platinum to have these included. Fuel economy is not as good as the other pickups on the market, but I didn't buy it for fuel economy. Otherwise very happy with the purchase.
