"I had a 99 4runner and wanted the same good reliability in a truck. I have a 12 cmax rock warrior that has been nothing but problems. 1st 500 miles parking brake stopped working 1000 miles oil cooler sprung a leak now it has a dash rattle that won't stop. I've had it at the dealer 3 times for the rattle. One guy told me to just turn up the radio. The truck has 2700 miles I can't wait to get rid of it what a mistake. Ford here I come!"

"I found my new Toyota Tundra truck on Cars.com which led me to my truck that was at Earl Stewart in North Palm Beach. First off my boyfriend & I weren't accosted by a salesman when we got there. The 3 trucks I'd found at Cars.com were all right there & we were able to peruse them at our leisure. They lived up to the Cars.com review & information. Earl Stewart is the only place I will buy a vehicle from now. I will check Cars.com to make a valid comparison list again and then use that list to figure out which are a good deal & what I need. I'm just very confident that Earl Stewart Toyota will be the best deal."

"Great ride. Plenty of power out of the box, no modifications required. Interior space is the best I have ever owned. I have the crew max cab. I am 6'4" and can sit comfortably in back seat with 5" in front of my knees to front seat back rest. Extremely strong engine. Mine came with the TRD exhaust. Great sound. I can't say enough how happy I am with this truck."

"Recently switched from ford 150 to Toyota tundra because doors for the club cab. The back seat is more usable on Toyota because I do not have to open front door to use them."

"This truck has been a great truck and in 6 months I have put on 23,000 miles with out a problem. It can pull heavy loads which at times are a little much but thats what we do at times. The fuel economy is not great at all but what truck in this class really is. I have owned Ford F-250 diesel trucks and Chevy 2500 diesel and those trucks of course are 3/4 ton but I would say that if toyota came out with a 3/4 diesel I think it would make an excellent truck."

Tundras Really Good Trucks

"I have owned three Rams (last 2 only because of NO trade in value towards a REAL truck) and finally decided to take the loss myself and pay up for a real truck (Tundra). Would only have a Dodge if given to me so I could sell to some fool and use whatever I could cheat the new owner out of as partial payment for another Tundra. Rams are truly the poorest investment in a truck anyone could ever make. Truly feel sorry for anyone who buys them or a GM model. Guess they just haven't ever owned a truly good vehicle."

"This is by far the best truck that I have ever owned. I bought a brand new Chevy Silverado in 2007 and had nothing but problems with it from 8,000 miles to 60k when I finally sold it. The only bad rating of mine for the Tundra is the price because it is definitely more expensive than a Chevy or Ford in the same class. You get what you pay for is all I can say. Besides, the Tundra and the Tacoma are now more "American made" than the Ford or Chevy. If you dont believe me, look it up!"

"Great styling, PLENTY of interior storage space and cup holders, the CrewMax rear cabin is unchallenged. Love the power rear window combined with a hard tonneau makes it great for hauling large items extending through into the cab. The turning radius is wider and less predictable than my old avalanche, the SR5 Tundra needs auto head lamp on feature like most new vehicles, interior lighting is a bit dim and could certainly use some additional lights, perhaps the weakest link is the fuel enconomy. Do not purchase this vehicle if you dont have a gas card, if u travel 50-100 miles per day, or you expect to use less than a quarter tank of fuel a day. I drive approx 65 highway miles a day and use just under 1/2 a tank of fuel.. Great disappointment in this category for a new 2012 Tundra SR5 Crewmax. Other than the mpg issue the truck looks and rides great!"

"THIS VEHICLE WILL ONLY GO ABOUT 235 MILES BETWEEN FILL-UPS. MANUAL SAYS IT HAS 26.4 GALLON TANK BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT. VEHICLE AVERAGES 15.2 MPG AND THIS IS MOSTLY HI WAY MILES BELOW 70 MPH AND 1900 RPMS. I HAVE TO START LOOKING FOR TOWNS WITH GAS EVERY 2-2.5 HOURS. WITH A 26.4 GALLON TANK YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GO APPROX. 400 MILES BEFORE EMPTY. NOT EVEN CLOSE!!!!! BIG INCONVENIENCE"
