Trying something new
Had 3 F150s with very few issues along the way, but the prices of the new ones are simply out of sight. So, I decided to give a Toyota a try this time around, given the lower price for similar equipment. I love the simplicity of the Toyota...no useless bling, baubles and eye candy...just a solid, good looking truck inside and out, with all the modern conveniences and a great reliability track record. Yes, it feels a little dated and a bit less refined than some of its competitors, but it's a good, bulletproof, comfortable, capable, truck that does everything I need a truck to do. And, importantly, it was priced right. As someone else said, if you want bling and baubles, you won't find them here. I've had two trucks like that and found all the 'cool', whiz-bang, stuff to be interesting but largely unnecessary, overly complex, and certainly not worth the extra investment. They were solutions to problems I never had, and just added complexity, distraction, and often frustration. The Tundra has good, intuitive, easy to navigate features which add to my driving experience in meaningful ways. In addition, it's ridiculously off-road capable...far more than my other trucks. My only gripe is with the fuel mileage, but it's the price I'm willing to pay to drive a V8 with all the simplicity, torque and horsepower I prefer. Love the Tundra so far. It's different from what I'm used to, but not in bad ways. It's very off-road capable with all the bells and whistles I need to enjoy my commute and travels.
Durable/reliable
This is my 4th Tundra I traded my 2007 for this 2020 because it will be my last truck and we will be doing alot of towing. The 2007 had 120000 miles on it and I was convinced it would go another 100k but my wife was nervous... 120k. No oil use between changes, u-joints still solid, NO problems at all. Towed a trailer from Tacoma to Cabo and back, Calgary and back and several trips tp Death Valley with nary a whimper!, Keep all your bells and whistles I need a reliable tow vehicle —the Tundra!

Exceeding My Expectations
Approaching retirement, I set out on my mission to buy what I hope will be my last new truck. With a couple of fine son-in-laws and grandsons in the picture, my extended cab truck wasn't meeting our needs any more. I spent the first 6 months of the year learning about all of the full sized 2020 pickup trucks. Allot of reading, visits to the dealerships, test drives and talking to owners to see what they liked and disliked about their trucks. By July 4 my head was hurting from all of the intake, and I was done thinking about it. I bought my 2020 Tundra SR5 Crew Cab that week, and it's been all good. The most important things to me: 1. Reliability 2. Reliability 3. Reliability 4. Room for six 6' foot passengers 5. Power to pull a trailer full of dirt bikes and gear through the mountains Over the years I have owned a couple of Chevrolet trucks, a Ford and then a Toyota Tacoma. I sold my 2003 Tacoma only because I needed more cab room. The Tacoma was the best performing and most reliable vehicle I have owned. It was running (and looking) near new at 17 years and 120,000 miles. That's why I chose to stay with Toyota, for the simplicity and reliability. I keep a vehicle for 10 years and 150,000 miles or more. I just don't see engines with computerized cylinder deactivation, or turbo chargers, being as reliable as the simple fuel injected overhead cam engine that powers the Tundra. Having driven the truck for 6 months, I am amazed at the value this base model truck offers. Much more than I was expecting. The mechanical performance is impressive. There's plenty of power to get moving quickly when pulling onto a highway. The torque is fantastic, pulling a trailer up a mountain is easy with the Tundra. The seats are excellent, I have driven up to 5 hours on my longest trip, and we were all still comfortable. When someone jumps into the backseat, they always comment that they can't believe the amount of room they have. 4 Wheel drive system works really well. With all of the updated traction control features, it seems to be even more surefooted on snow and ice than my "go anywhere" Tacoma. The ride comfort is what has surprised me the most. The smooth ride, the quiet cabin and the straight tracking of the steering all exceed what I expected. On a straight highway, you can let your hands off the steering, and it will track straight for a long ways. I'm used to my past trucks needing allot of mini-correction of the steering going down the road, but not the new Tundra. The Technology features in my truck have all worked well, I have had no issues with any of the safety features, bluetooth system, or audio system. My truck does not have an onboard navigation system, but does pair with Android Auto via my phone, which works real well. Fuel mileage is what it is. I knew it when I bought it, and am OK with less MPG for the simplicity and reliability that I am looking for. My truck has been averaging 15 mpg with my combination of around town and highway driving. On a highway trip with no trailer being towed, I had over 19 mpg. A tank of gas with all around town and no highway trips averages around 14.5 mpg. Bottom line - I am really happy with my Tundra. It is a great truck, and I would recommend it without reservation,.

2020 Tundra
The 5.7 L engine runs great and is rated at 17 MPG highway but I've been averaging 18-19 MPG. The 7" screen is easy to see and use as well as all the information items that can be checked (tire pressure, MPG etc.). Just made a 1700 mile round trip and enjoyed the seats and overall vehicle response.

Love our 2020 Platinum series!
We decided to "downgrade" from our Infiniti SUV QX80 .. but we are very pleased with all the upgrades to the 2020 Tundra which had most of the options our $100k SUV has! It even had keyless entry and push button start!!! Drives smooth, feels more luxury than just a TRUCK.. we are beyond happy with it! We have the Mesquite (brown) color with black interior... its stunning! 38 gallon gas tank is a bit spendy to fill, but hey we get almost 600 miles out of a full tank.
