Used 2023 Toyota Tundra Consumer Reviews
Still not ready
I had a 23 tundra platinum. Hated every minute of owning it. The ride was absolute garbage. Imagine riding in a truck without shocks. Now make it worse. The 3.4 turbo is at best 18 mpg. I got 17.5. Everything in the interior rattles. The doors, the windows, the console - rattles. The truck is not ready. Paid $70k and regret every day in this truck. Had Toyota "fix" the interior buzz twice - no change. They changed the door seal, changed the window seal in the door - still rattled going down every crack in the road. And you feel the horrible ride. Look at the lots and see how many of the trucks are for sale. Do yourself a favor. Drive Ford, Ram, and Chevy and tell me you can't feel the difference in absolutely everything from the interior to the ride. $70k? You couldn't give me another one. Toyota is garbage just like all the other manufactures now. Nothing is quality anymore. It's sad.
Camry ish, plasticky tin canish
Bought a '23 1794 Tundra based in past ownership of flawless 2000 SR5 and good experience with 2008 Crewmax. This new thing is disappointing, just feels cheap with all the plastic, fake V8 engine sound, glitchy infotainment system, bottoming out rear air ride, skittish steering. [non-permissible content removed] I'm driving a lifted Camry. Went to trade, offered $58k on a $70k truck with only 6k miles. 😳

Wish it had been built in Japan
It's a lovely truck generally speaking. Road noise is modest, the interior is comfy and it's a handsome truck. However, overall quality is very questionable for a vehicle in the $70K range. Besides Toyota cheaping out wherever they could (ie -you can't open the rear doors when locked with key in pocket because they failed to put sensors in the rear handles). Aside from the obvious, the it has a composite bed (payload of only 1,900lbs), very frustrating entertainment center and wind noise that will drive you out of your mind (Google Wind Noise 2023 Tundra). To add insult to injury Toyota has had no less than 4 recalls on the new Tundra in the first 6 months of my ownership. When discussing the wind noise issue with the dealer I am told to stop bringing it in because the wind noise is normal. "It's just a loud truck". If I could start over I would not buy this truck.

What a Disappointment
Engine sucks. Electronics suck. Trim & finishes suck. The only good “Toyota” thing about it is the 4WD. Toyota should be embarrassed with this truck. UPDATE: So many things wrong it’s depressing to revisit. Recalls, transmission, seat bases cracking, electronics failing, inconsistent performance, trim just falling off, everything seemed loose / poorly assembled, etc. Let’s just say I should have waited for the reviews by all the experts. Kept it for less than a year & went back to the tried & true 5th gen 4Runner TRD Pro (before they slap a 4-cylinder for 2025). First real disappointment with a Toyota in over 30 years of owning one,
