I just bought a 2023 Tundra Platinum and won't recommend this truck UNLESS you fully understand what Toyota is trying to do and can live (and pay) for it. Toyota is trying to setup their cars as a service where you pay monthly for car functions even though you already paid them $69,000. Simple things like remote start from fob Toyota doesn't work unless you pay a monthly fee for wireless......which you SHOULDN'T need if you already have internet access thru your cell phone. 2nd all those functions that require Toyotas wireless to be enabled (requiring monthly fee) stop working when you DON'T have cell coverage .....REALLY??? Toyota really is working hard to "screw" over its customers ....

Hybrid power but poor mpg

First time truck owner and I love this tundra power but the mpg is well below expectations. I’ve been driving conservatively on Eco-mode for 2 months and I’m averaging 16.7! Estimates are 20/24 for RWD. I agree with other reviewers about the dangerous pre-collision warning and lane assist. I had to disable both as it overpowers the steering and jerks you away or slams on the brakes (with a big BRAKE warning) even if you’re not even close to an object. The steering overall is great & smooth. The interior is beautiful and comfortable. Love the 14in screen and simple to use knobs, but my pet peeve is the lack of split screen for navigation and media (like my previous Lexus). No major issues and I do get a lot of compliments plus it’s fun to drive but very disappointed on mpg. UPDATE: Love the redesign but full of problems that Toyota won’t fix. I’ve contacted HQ numerous times with zero resolution. Let’s start with the terrible mpg for the hybrid. Averaging 16.5 in the city on eco mode. 19 on Hwy which isn’t bad but nowhere close to the 20/24 epa estimates. Second is the squealing brakes in forward or reverse braking. Apparently it’s a common problem with these new tundras but Toyota has no resolution in place nor will they fix or inspect the brakes. This occurred at 1000 miles and I am now at 10,000 miles. It’s an embarrassment driving around & pulling up to a red light with squealing brakes. I wake up all my neighbors when I back out of my driveway every morning. The third major issue I’ve encountered is the dash cam. I’ve never used it or even turned it on but it regularly beeps if I hit a speed bump, or like today, it completely malfunctioned and beeped erratically for 35 minutes while I was driving. It continued to beep even after turning the vehicle off. There’s no question this truck is beautiful inside and out plus has incredible power and acceleration but this has been a huge disappointment.

Handsome truck but with a number of quality issues. There are many design flaws as well as simply poor build quality. From the cup holders that don't hold cups very well, several recalls, to the cruise control that consistently travels 1-2 mph below set limit, to a fuel gauge that is off by about 100 miles, these are not only my issues, but known issues across the ownership base. My particular tough issue is excessive wind noise. The wind coming in from both driver and passengers side is very loud. They replaced the window seals, but it didn't help. When I took it back Toyota said "It's a loud truck, that's normal". Again, a known issue. Very disappointing from Toyota for an $75K truck.

The truck is okay, but I paid over $75,000 and they gave me only one key! It is now July and still have no idea when they will give me another back up key. I called Toyota and they cannot tell me anything. I am concerned because if anything happens to the one key fob, I am stuck! I can’t believe they have no strategy to fix this!

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.
