Fuel and cheap interior
Dee, Quincy, CA, 07/16/2019
2019 Toyota Tundra SR5 4dr CrewMax 4WD SB (4.6L 8cyl 6A)
The ride is fine and the interior space is amazing, however, the interior is kind of cheap. I have the TRD SR5 and the navigation keeps cutting off, plastic steering wheel and the overall inside is kinda cheap plastic. The fuel mileage is awful. For being a Toyota, it should be better but it’s worse than a Titan. The turning radius is horrible. I would consider another Tundra ONLY if … they made better interior for those who don’t want a limited, a much better turning radius and the most important, better fuel mileage.
Tundras Suck
R. Clark, Jacksonville, FL, 08/29/2019
2019 Toyota Tundra SR5 4dr CrewMax 4WD SB (4.6L 8cyl 6A)
Worse mileage than my friends Ford and GMC. Loud engine along with poor body insulation of outside noise. 5 year old truck and all power door actuators stopped working with $2,000.00 repair cost. tundra trash not worth the money.

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.
