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.

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,.

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.

Just pick up a Tundra TRD Pro from Milton Ruben toyota in Augusta Ga. I have been a truck guy all my life. Bouncing back and forth between Ford and Dodge. Toyota showed me that you didn't need to spend a fortune to get good truck. The fit and finesh is top notch. What you get from others for 60 to 90 thousand, Toyota gives you for 40 to 50 thousand.

I traded my beloved but boring 18 Honda Pilot EX-L for a 20 Tundra Crew Max Platinum a few weeks before Covid shut everything around here down. I knew after a 10 minute test drive that this was the truck that I wanted. It came with TRD exhaust, shifter, and air filter. I installed Tyger running boards and Tonneau cover along with a TRD rear sway bar. I also recently downsized to a lightweight 17" wheel with Cooper Discoverer ATS 4s tires. The ride is much softer now without giving up much in handling. This truck fits my needs well, the seats are very comfortable and I have plenty of room for taking family on trips. Gas mileage that everyone complains about is actually decent. I see over 20mpg on any highway trip under 70mph. Around town, 15-18mpg is normal. The engine and transmission play well together and is always willing to downshift. The manual control of the transmission is greatly appreciated with all the mountain driving I do. Nothing to really complain about, the interior might be considered a little cheap for a 55k truck but in the end, I wanted a strong and reliable truck and this fits the bill. Already had some winter weather here and with the snowflake rated tires, no issues getting around unplowed roads. Overall, very pleased with my truck and if you are looking for a dead reliable truck and are okay without an IPAD screen, this truck is a solid choice.
Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE my Tundra

This is my 2nd Tundra - my first was a 2001 and is still in great shape, but I sold it to my nephew. There is little not to like about this vehicle, but there are some things: lackluster fuel economy (but I love that reliable and powerful engine), no front parking sensors on the center of the bumper (sensors installed only alert if object is on left or right of side); large pinch weld seam that should be painted black (you will notice on any lighter colored vehicle such as silver or white); and a giant well of a center console without compartments for organization (that was remedied with a very low cost organizer designed specifically for the Tundra off of Amazon). What I LOVE: sooo comfortable seats, seamless and powerful transmission and engine, Toyota safety sense safety features, side mirror close feature, heated and vented seats, SPACIOUS back (five adults can easily and comfortably fit), overall look and feel, unmatched Toyota reliability (this engine will easily last 20 years), great ground clearance, smooth ride, great visibility...I could go on and on!

Where did all the storage go?

Where did all the storage go? This is not my first tundra! On my 2008 tundra I had all sorts of little storage spaces, on the door, behind the backseat, behind the drivers seats, for some reason that has all been illuminated. That is the only disappointment I have at this time!

Neither Toyota or Toyota owners really care about edmunds stupid “Yawn” comment... Toyota and their customers are all about quality, not just stupid bells and whistles. Any intelligent person would buy a Tundra over any other brand pickup of similar capacity. When you have a GREAT product like the Tundra, there isn’t much need for updates or changes.....

This truck is perfect for the hauling, boat and snowmobile trailer towing I do. I had 2010 and hated to part with it since it never let me down, but the 2020 has some great features. I love the rear power window with defrost, apple car play, LED lights (beautiful), minimalist interior without all the clutter of the domestics, and of course the reliability of this continuously improved Tundra. I love the 5.7L V8 smoothness and power delivery. Very comfortable for long towing trips. My daily driver is a hybrid to keep the gas consumption under control, but this truck is a pleasure to drive and especially on trips with the family. I added a leer 700 topper, OEM rear tailgate unlock and bed LED lighting. I added a second set of TRD Tundra 2012 wheels with OEM sensor and can switch to them with a few pushes of the TPMS button and it recognizes the second set of wheels/tires. Love the 8" touchscreen not too big or too small. Update: 2 years now no issues. Only disappointment is the remote start. Toyota charges $80/year for that function to work? I only found it out when after a year remote start on the key fob stopped working. Buyer beware. Toyota's technology for GPS and other items is behind the curve and costly for updates. It's sad Toyota decided to pull another fast one on it's customers and charge for remote start. Not happy with that. As other Truck reliability improves I may start looking elsewhere. My 2014 Avalon Toyota software became quickly obsolete and unsupported. Pandora no longer works and have to pipe through Bluetooth like 15 year old vehicles. And even then just pumping Pandora through Bluetooth it drops the connection on and off at times for no reason. I can't believe a company the size of Toyota can't figure out how to implement reliable Bluetooth car play and Android technology and plan to support it at some basic level.
