My 2016 1794 4x4

2019 Toyota Tundra 1794 4dr CrewMax SB (5.7L 8cyl 6A)
This is the second Tundra I’ve owned and truly a wonderful truck to have, you service them, keep them clean and drive them 250,000 miles easily, Toyota isn’t out to unseat Ford/Chevy/GMC thats impossible but have a loyal following which is very much understood. Let’s go Places.
Just like other Tundra ouners, we love em!!!

2019 Toyota Tundra 1794 4dr CrewMax SB (5.7L 8cyl 6A)
This is my third Tundra I own. The 1st one was a 2008 SR5, then a 2015 1794 and now a 2019 1794. And this one is the best one yet. With Radar cruise control,lane departure alert, automatic hiigh beams and pre-collision system plus a 38 gallon gas tank. It is just a fun truck to drive. It is so quiet and the handling is great. Take one for a test drive and see for yourself...

Which Tundra does Edmunds recommend?
Trucks are all about utility, so our pick is the SR5 with the TRD Off-Road package and options. This aptly named package includes the SR5's Upgrade package giving the truck functional off-road parts without compromising on towing or hauling. It's the balance between work and play.
Full Edmunds Review: 2019 Toyota Tundra CrewMax
Driving
6.5A strong optional V8 gives the Tundra some life, but a dated platform numbs overall performance significantly. The Tundra has better off-road capability than a few competitors, but its sheer size may give you pause on tight trails.
Comfort
6.0When you go with the 5.7-liter V8, the Tundra comes with heavy-duty springs and an upgraded axle. This means a stiff ride on the highway and around town. Also, it's been quite some time since Toyota addressed the stiff, poorly bolstered seats.
Interior
7.0The Tundra's interior is functional but dated by segment standards. It's roomy as all get-out. But because of the high step-up, even higher driving position and limited visibility over the large hood, this is a tough truck to live with.
Utility
7.0As is the case with any truck this large, the Tundra has a lot of sheer utility, but it loses the battle against more well-packaged and more recently redesigned rivals. Towing numbers are big thanks to a standard 4.30 axle ratio, but they don't match rivals' optional tow packages. Also, the bed is large but very high, and load height is an issue.
Technology
6.5Technology is a weak point for the Tundra. Smartphone connectivity is limited, and there's only one USB port. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not available at all. The performance of the base stereo isn't impressive, and the optional driver aids are overzealous.
