Used 2023 Toyota Tundra Consumer Reviews
Capstone MAX
Owned a 2015 Tundra Platinum and loved it til this last week when $7k worth of repairs were need (front diff carrier, wheel and hub replaced, etc). So traded it in. Only one key. No ETA. Within the first 100 miles I was pulling an 18 car hauler. Was very powerful. Still to pull my 10k lb travel trailer with it. MPG is around what I got with my 2015 Platinum. This move to a v6 with electric motor is clearly to appease climate activists that hate v8s. No other gain with this design.

Loving it So Far
Bought a limited 4x4 I-force max with TRD off Road package back in June it has been great. I came from a 2016 Tacoma and the power and the 10 speed transmission shifting is far better hands down. I am getting about 16.7 mpg on my in town commute with 35 inch aftermarket tires and 18 inch wheels. There was a slight rattle behind in the plastic on side of the bed but my service department fixed that. My only complaint is I wish the grille surround was color matched instead of aluminum chrome on the limited trim. Probably going to get OEM parts professionally painted and replace that.

Tundra- what happened??
This is my 4th Tundra (Crewmax) I have owned, I couldn’t be more disappointed in the truck, where do I start….. The overall size of the truck has decreased front seats are small, the rear full seat is a joke, barely enough room for my 2 kids to sit comfortably. The storage under the seat is nice but your screwed when u want to carry say a large cooler or tote, while flipping up the seats u now have a bunch of uneven storage bins. Headroom is terrible and I’m only 5’11”. The 4wd system is the absolute worst I have ever seen, in 4wd while towing a trailer up my camp driveway which was ice and snow, the front tires wouldn’t even spin (I’ve contacted the dealer about this by the way) and it’s weird sometimes 4wd works decent other times it’s like I’m in 2wd. I put truck in 4Lo took 3-4 minutes to finally shift out. Did I mention NO TOW HOOKS!!!! Come on Toyota your kidding me, WTF!!! Gas gauge you can’t even see it where it’s located on panel, way at the bottom, makes no sense. Hate the fact the truck shuts off when you open door while using remote start, that’s just stupid. Driver seat has no lumbar extremely uncomfortable. The one nice thing I will say I do like about this truck is the twin turbo V6, goes very well a lot of torque and tows really well, the ride is ok but that makes me nervous that’s it’s built for city driving and not tough like a truck should be. I don’t know Toyota, you built a name for the Tundra because it’s tough, not this 2023 SR5, Terrible, I’m almost embarrassed
Lack of parts and service
Toyota and the dealerships need to look at their ability's relating to parts and service. I purchased a new 2023 Toyota Tundra in October of 2023 and had to bring it to the dearlership where I purchased it on November 24, 2023 because a rat had chewed the wiring harness. The truck is still siting there today because Toyota says they are still working on getting the part (wiring harness). My insurance company has approved and cut the dealership a check since December 7, 2023. The dealership service department can provide no information about anything. We contacted the Toyota resolution center on December 27th and they are just as bad as the dealership...no information and the case worker is never in to take or return calls. Why should it take over 2 months for a part? I am not sure how I can rate the truck for only having it a month, but as far as service and parts go my rating is in the negative.
Scratchy windshield
Bigger display but during daytime it is hard to read the AC control buttons. One week after I purchased the truck I noticed scratches on the windshield. Looks like rainbow apparently from the wiper’s blades. You cannot notice the scratches during the day but in early morning with the dew you can see it. Took it to the dealer where I bought it and they say it is normal. 3 days later I notice the left fender is rattling because it is screw in, first they taught that somebody is trying to pry it but they cannot find any scratches so they fixed it but I noticed that it is starting to open up again. I can only get 16 miles city driving and 19 highway. Took it to another dealer and Toyota denied my claim against the windshields. My truck is brand new for me to put scratches in one week. I should not have traded my F-150.
