Its been 20yrs since i owned a Toyota. It was a 89 single cab V6. It went anywhere almost like a quad 4-wheeler. It also gave me 190,00 miles of freedom. No major breakdowns or disappointments. I can see and feel the same thing in my new 2021 Tundra. Look underneath the vehicle and you can see that there are actual nuts and bolts holding it together. Not plastic clips. If the Taliban uses Toyota trucks to fight Soviets and Americans then they can be repaired easily and are very dependable. Everyone knows Toyota is the most dependable vehicle available on U.S. soil today. And also assembled in the USA with many homemade parts. Everyone looking for a pickup truck should be looking for a Toyota. Unless you are going to compete at tractor pulls, then get a RAM. RAM will get you down the track once, but then its going to cost you some $$. I want a vehicle that doesn't surprise me with poor parts or failures. Toyota does neither

Had a 2006 Tundra that reached 230k trouble free miles. Knew the Tundra was getting fully redesigned in 2022 but opted for the tried and true outgoing model. The 5.7 is proven and has lots of umph when you get on it. It's a V8 and reminds you it is with subpar fuel economy. I average 12-13 in city driving and 17-18 going 68-72 on highway. But what this engine doesn't have is direct injection, no worthless auto/stop start, no cylinder deactivation like GM and Ford engines, no turbos that will fail at 150k miles or burning excess oil. Many 5.7s are still going at 250-300k or more with no major failures just routine maintenance. This engine will get 10 mpg towing anything over 3k pounds, just like all the ecoboosts and new turbo engines. The aisin 6-speed feels strong like a heavy duty truck transmission. Will downshift freely without any motivation from you driving it but do it smartly. This model also has largest rear gears in half ton segment with 4.30 ratio. The leather in the seats feels high quality. Toyota uses Lexus interior components in their vehicles, and hold up great over the years. Simple fit and finish and cosmetics hold up much better with a Tundra. I see F150s with badges peeling off and Chevys with trim pieces falling off. Many brand snobs cite the Tundra as not being designed as much as big three, or the terrible gas mileage. Personally I could care less about these things and love having a vehicle that is absolutely bulletproof. The redesigned Tundra failed in some aspects where this model shines. No tow hooks, bumper integrated with bed which will cost thousands to fix if rear ended, smaller rear back seat.

Super Hero of all the Trucks

Had to haul a huge trailer some 2,000kms so I figure I check the oil before I go. Well, I forgot where the dipstick was and that saids it all. Years of only having to worry about adding gas and getting oil changes left me complacent. It never breaks despite the abuse, it will never be defeated against evil repairs as it is invincible. After owning so many different vehicles in the past 40 years, here a bit of wisdom and advice. Buy Toyota or Lexus, and worry about things that are important, not your vehicle.
