2025 Toyota Tundra Consumer Reviews
Pricing
My first Toyota truck
Purchased the 4x4 1794 limited edition. What an awesome truck. Incredible acceleration with the hybrid twin turbo engine and extreme comfort with the large infotainment system. This vehicle reminds me of the first Cadillac Escalade truck I bought in 2006 that was years ahead in ride and comfort. Extremely impressed with quality of the vehicle.

NOT a work truck
1. Parking sensors make it so you can't back up to a curb if a toolbox is sitting on the curb. Attempted to back up to a dumpster and the truck won't let me get with in 6 feet. Had to turn off the parking sensors so I can throw away trash. 2. The plastic that holds the rear license plate captures anything and everything that goes between the bed and tailgate when you close the tailgate. 3. Can't step on rear bumper end caps to get into the bed of the truck. They are too small to step on, and snap off like a lego brick. Not sure if I broke it or not. 4. Adaptive cruise control gets blocked by any amount of snow. This disables the cruise control, so you can't use cruise control if it snows. You will have to pull off the road and clear the sensor. Then, as the covered sensor alarms you in the display. BUT!!, it never goes away. So you can't use the speedometer screen because the cruise control warning won't go away. 5. Boost lag or bad transmission. It is frustrating pressing on the accelerator and nothing happens, then, it decides to engage and you take of like an un-prepared missile. Legitimately don't know if transmission is damaged or if there is something wrong with the throttle assembly. If you're coasting at 30 mph, and try to accelerate. It will tach up to 4,000 rpm, then take off like you just dropped the clutch. Either way, it effing sucks. 6.BEEPING. Do you like beeping. It beeps when you close the door, It beeps when you close the door with the engine on, it beeps when a car drives by in your blind spot while you're parked. It beeps if you try to back up with the parking sensors on. It has more warnings than anyone can tolerate. 7. Can't drive with the door open. Sometimes I open the door to look for obstructions while I back up or drive on work sites. Well, the truck will slam on the brakes, and start beeping frantically. Then you have to shift back into park, and close the door before you can drive again. 8. It's 2024 and this thing gets 17 mpg. Criminal. 9. Perforated Seats. Here's a fun game. Spill something on perforated seats and try to wipe it up. Ha ha, loser, it soaks through the perforations and there is nothing you can do. 10. Door locks. So if you're the passenger sitting up front, you can unlock ALL the doors by simply putting your hand on the handle sensor. But, not true for the drivers side. It only unlocks the driver side!!!! That is the default setting. The person without the keys can unlock all the doors, but the driver can not. I have programmed it so the Drivers side will do this, but it resets after you drive it once. 11. Gremlins. This vehicle has a ton of them. The HVAC system shut down on my the other day. Body vents wouldn't work, only feet and defrost. System wouldn't come on at all until I drove a few hundred yards. I scheduled to have it fixed....and its working again. Can't wait til the entire instrument cluster dies when its out of warranty. 12. I hate this truck with a passion. AND, I'm a Toyota Fan Boy. Glad the company wasted their money before I got into one of these toads. It's frustrating to drive with the acceleration delay. Then youre mocked constantly with BEEPING.

Overpriced truck, subscriptions required
The truck is supposed to be economical with a V6 twin turbo, but uses more gas than a Silverado with a V8. The gas tank for some reason is about 17-18 gals, which only gives you a conservative 300 mile range. The back seat is not meant for human use, I have the 2-3/4 cab, king cab or something but not the full 4-door. My 7 yr old doesn't sit comfortably in the back. I haven't found a way to open th tailgate from inside the cab. There is no remote start included, but have to use the Toyota app to remote start it. The second you open the door, the truck shuts off. Genius design there. Cruise control obligates you to have radar on, when you come up close to another vehicle the truck slams on the brakes rather than coasting. The braking is much too abrupt. The power train is very good. Has great acceleration and is quick to go. The turbo whine is exhilarating. The fact that remote start is subscription based is insulting, just straight garbage. A $50k truck without standard remote start is just wasteful money-grubbing, tactics and then only providing 1 key fob with a second being provided in the future. The excuse being a equipment shortage is getting tiresome, supply chains have been corrected. I just dont see any value in this vehicle. My previous '21 Silverado, a $43K truck, had more value than this truck.

1794 is stunning!
Traded in a 2022 Sierra Denali for the 1794 and I’m absolutely in love! This truck is a beauty inside and out. It’s a little bit smaller so easier to drive, it’s smooth and just extremely comfortable. Just absolutely love the interior and comfort features. My only small gripes are the fuel economy but I was spoiled with Duramax 28 MPG so that’s on me and my other is the ultra sensitive sensors when pulling forward or backing up. I wish there was a way to adjust the sensitivity. You can purchase and customize so much with Toyota trucks and I think that makes ownership fun as well. If you’re looking for an everyday full size truck with awesome features and options and one that will hold value and keep young going for along time, I’d definitely take a look at the Tundra.

Another Blown Motor, Toyota Strikes Again
I wish there was something below 1 star, Toyota doesn’t deserve that 1 star for how they have treated me. I Recently leased a 24’ Tundra Platinum Hybrid, 2200 miles in the engine is blown. I only had the truck for 52 days, to date Toyota Corp and the dealer have been nothing short of unforgivable. This is 6th Toyota vehicle, all higher end, were 60+ days in and the dealer hasn’t even diagnosed it, Toyota is dragging their feet also so I literally can’t do a damn thing. I had a lot of admiration for the Toyota brand but the Toyota I grew up on is not the same company it is today sell $80k trucks that can’t finish out a lease term. [non-permissible content removed] I didn’t make it 60 days. These trucks are garbage, most Toyota dealers are scumbags because Toyota just wants to protect it quarterly statement instead of owning up to their mistakes and doing the right thing. Don’t believe me? Look at how long it took for anything to be done with the 22-23s, then look at how they lied about it, had the dealers and press reporting that only the “non hybrids “ were effected. Yeah until you buy a non hybrid, engine blows and you get to make payments on your new truck with no vehicle and no end in sight. I’ll never buy another Toyota product, every vehicle has issues. Their garbage.
