Used 2023 Toyota Tundra Consumer Reviews
Poor quality Control, plastic Minivan w/truck body
I have to say, generally Toyota's are bit Tin Can like but this one is unreal. It feels like a kit car that some kid put together. Wind noise that the 2022 had not fixed and no fixes for. Tail gate so much heavier duty that the rest of the truck, it bangs up and down and feels like its going to bend the back of the truck.. Great to have tough tailgate but body so weak it can't support it. Door seals non existent , sound dampening on 60k truck so poor you can hear a cricket out side.. Window? could they transmit more sound? I swear they seem to increase the noise out side. Stay away unless you plan to drive this around a city and put paper bags in the back of it. Its not a truck its a minvan with a bed on it.

This this is absolutely garbage
From trim falling off to the plastic rattling interior. This vehicle is absolutely terrible. I just traded my 23 TRD in for a f150. I'm extremely happy to be out of that piece of crap. What a failure toyota! Do better

Lot more money, worth the cost?
Purchased a 2023 Platinum, came off a 2021 GMC AT4; but before that over a decade of back to back Toyota ownership with different years and trims of Tundras, FJ cruisers, Highlanders, Tacomas, Lexus RX’s and GS sedans. Thinking about the overall build and utility over the years—this current Tundra doesn’t disappoint. Fit is on par, performance and usability is as well. The truck feels refined as any other higher trimmed Toyota or any Lexus. But…coming off the GMC, I will say I got to experience what rival vehicles do well, and it really highlighted Toyotas areas of needed improvement. Toyota may do well to rethink dimensions…as the American market generally has bigger people and that being said, this platinum interior feels tight, in relative comparison. Interior storage compartments were in far less abundance. I feel the interior materials had too much plastic, and what few pieces that were “soft” were just plastic with a thin layer of rubberized faux leather like material. For the price being paid…I’d expect a better material suite. I HATE the big data monitoring of the vehicles usage and internal diagnostics. It’s a huge privacy concern that Toyota can transmit video, GPS location, and all the other bits of vehicle data. No entity should be able to monitor your daily travels. We need a way to opt out of ALL of that. Otherwise…with being a new generation, I waited to get into one to assure I didn’t get hit with early adopter issues. Looks like there may still be some kinks to work out based on these other reviews…but I’ve yet to experience them personally.

Too Many Whistles And Bells, No Common Sense
2023 Tundra Ltd, 4x4 75 series, twin turbo v-6, crew max. Our previous truck was a 2007 Tundra, and we absolutely loved it, until it threw it's timing belt and seized the engine. (Love it so much, we're going to get the engine rebuilt). So we figured hey, let's do another Tundra. We chose the 2023 4x4 Limited. Worse decision ever. It has features that you cannot shut off, and for us, making driving this truck a pain in the backside. Today was the last straw for me, in regards to writing a negative review. I was at the grocery store, pulled into my space, and needed to back up a titch to straighten out. The truck sensed another vehicle coming up the main lane of the parking lot and slammed on my brakes with a deafening grind. OMG, I thought I'd hit a car, scared the you know what out of me. I was no where close to being in the main lane of the lot, nor close to the approaching car. This truck has done this multiple times to both my husband and me, and about gives us a heart attack each time. And, the lady loading her groceries into the vehicle next to me jumped and looked at me like my truck was going to explode after hearing the self braking grind. It has a the feature of turning itself off when you've come to a stop for more than a couple of seconds, such as a red light. You hit the gas, and the engine restarts. You can turn this feature off, but you have to turn it off each time you start the truck. Our mechanics who specialize in Toyotas say this feature really wears out the expensive starter, and doesn't save a noticible amount of gas. And, there is a delay from when you press the gas pedal to when you actually move. My husband almost got in trouble because of this feature, and not being able to scoot across an intersection as fast he could of with our older Tundra (because of the delay in the truck starting). You cannot have your door open if your moving slowly, such as trying to back into a spot, the truck won't move if the door is open. Yes, it has backup cameras, but sometimes you need more an eyes on approach. If raining heavily, you can't use the cameras, they are obscured. If dark out, cameras aren't all that great either. Our 2007 V8 Tundra got close to 19 mpg. This 2023 Tundra is about 15 mpg. The lighting inside the cab is crap. Can't see a thing using the dome type lights. And many of the controls don't have a backlight any longer. If it's night time, and you want to put down your window, you have to do it by feel, as you can't see the panel. Many of the controls on the dash have no backlight on them as well, meaning you have to keep your eyes off the road for a longer period of time to locate what your looking for. We do like the large screen/monitor. It is handy for backing up. But the other features you need to control with the screen are difficult to navigate, again, distracting you from keeping your eyes on the road. We live in an area with lots of road construction.The white lines are all over the place, and the feature that helps keep you in your lane is worthless, it's always trying to pull us back into what it perceives as a lane. One of these days it's going to pull a truck into another car. If a vehicle comes up on your side while your driving, alarms will sound, scaring the you know what out of you. Hey Toyota, I'm driving on the road with other vehicles, yes I know there are going to be vehicles coming up on my sides. Sometimes it sounds off alarms that we have no idea what it's complaining about. Again, very distracting while you're driving. We can't get these alarm features disabled, as they are considered safety features. Ugg. Can no longer get a Tundra in a V8. The hood is funky in design, making it hard to determine your center. The bed is too short. Can't find toppers for it, and it's not long enough to go truck camping in, or haul something like a couch. Those are just the cons that are coming to mind at present moment. I know there's more. We will be trading this Tundra in this summer for a different truck. Probably going to go with Dodge Ram, which is what we used to drive pre-2007 Tundra.

Nicely appointed & blazing fast
This is an upgrade from a 2017 Tundra SR5 and the engine and transmission are much changed. The twin turbo V6 is blazing fast but the mileage is not much improved from the old V8. Biggest complaint is there is no way to step into the truck bed without purchasing the optional bed steps which are standard on every other pickup out there. Also you won't know until taking delivery that you only get one key fob due to the chip shortage. I've asked Toyota several times for a delivery date for the 2nd key but they are evasive. If you lose the key and you aren't in the dealer's parking lot you are screwed.

only good looks
80,000.00 dollar mistake, Always had Toyotas and absolutely loved them, have a 2013 Avalon awesome car ! Retired from the Fire Service after a 45 year career that's when I wanted to buy a Toyota truck to travel in. Saw a 2023 Toyota Tundra black 1794 edition black, absolutely beautiful, fabulous interior, had to have it and ordered one. If I had had a couple of weeks to REALY look it over and drive it, it would have been sitting back on their lot. The truck is almost all plastic I live on the Gulf Coast of Alabama where the intense heat of summer is starting to warp certain parts of it, terrible gas mileage 16.7 never been above that and they say up to 24 MPG on sticker. wind noise on passenger side front door, paint extremely thin and scratches easily and shows up really well with a white undercoating. When the tailgate is down there is no step ( plastic bumper is poping loose at the ends as well now. I carry a small step ladder in the bed of the truck so I can SAFELY get in the back. I was always told to have your vehicle under control at all times, not with this one ! With only 8000 miles driving on this abomination the safety devices have caused me to have some very close calls with having a serious accident. This corrective steering is dangerous, and the cruise control I no longer use because several times it slowed me down and people have on several occasions have almost rear ended me. We have a farm and have a lot of tall grass but can't use it in the fields because the sensors detect the grass as something solid the truck slams on the brakes when trying to back up. Defiantly not a farm truck. Plastic interior sctraches easy and the carpet if you can call it that is nothing but fuzz glued on a thin fabric which after a couple of vacuuming starts to chafe up. Has been several recalls one came just the other day. Took it for its first servicing showed them the on button for the radio was broken they said we will have to order a new radio, showed them the loose antenna on top of the truck they said they have to order a new one, on the wind noise they said I would have to get that looked at when they get the other parts in. That was 4 Months ago. Super super disapointed ! For 45 years I was a firefighter ( I drove a Ladder Truck ) and never had a wreck but if I was to keep this truck its only a matter of time and they tell me if I take these so called safety features off it would void the warranty. At this point I drive it very little about one tank load of fuel a month and mostly use my 2013 Toyota Avalon with 250,000 miles (and no problems ) back in the day when reliability was Toyota. To sum it all up, outstanding looking exterior and interior my analogy is, its like falling in love with a super beautiful curvaceous woman but on the inside she's DERANGED. P.S. If anyone wants to buy a low milage beautiful truck drop me a line.
What happened Toyota?
After owning four Tundras, a 2002, 2007, 2016, and the 2023, I can confidently say Toyota has really messed up a once great truck. Went so far to trade mine for a new GMC Sierra (excellent truck so far after 21,000 miles). I had never ending issues with my Tundra. The interior quality is subpar at best, the paint chips just looking at it the wrong way, the techy stuff is buggy and glitchy, and absolutely awful fuel economy. All in all a massive disappointment. We’re just a half Toyota family now as my Wife still loves her 4Runner. Buying a new Tundra? Well, you’ll make new friends at the local Toyota service department!
