"Toyota 2012 Crew Max, Platinum has a problem! I recently bought this truck for almost 50K. I am once again driving a loaner because of the problems with the Tundra flex fuel trucks. Been in three times for same problem. Apparently, with the flex fuel Toyota trucks there is a problem with the software that makes the adjustment when using various levels of octane. It doesn't work and makes the truck run bad and not start sometimes. The truck does not start. The ignition sticks on. Then the truck runs rough, hesitates sometimes and gets worse gas mileage until you take it in for service each time. Toyota knows about this and acknowledges it but apparently continues to sell this vehicle without telling anyone. This is NOT right and in my opinion boarders on Fraud. I made a complaint and had a factory Rep contact me with a case number. He called back in two days telling me that basically there is nothing they can do. I could go to me glove box and pull out the arbitration instructions. Come on Toyota! I paid 50K for this vehicle. I was informed of what I need to to to avoid the problem. don't runs on less than 1/4 tank of gas, never run the truck for less than 5 minutes at a time and always use e85 fuel. If the problem occurs again just bring it into service. They can readjust something again. I am very disappointed in Toyota. I am a long time repeat customer of Toyota but it doesn't matter apparently. The local dealership has been great to work with. No problems there, its with Toyota. My concern is that Toyota acknowledges the problem but does not have a solution for it yet and apparently continue to sell this vehicle without telling anyone. I was told they could give me another truck but it would probably do the same thing. So why keep selling it. If the problem is in fact isolated then replace it! If it is not isolated then STOP selling it until its fixed. The truck looks good and drives good. If it wasn't for the fact that it doesn't start sometimes then runs rough until serviced, it would be a great vehicle. For 50K it should run, right? Come on Toyota, make this right so I can get on with my life."

"What a mistake listening to reviews . I wish I would have went with my gut and never bought this this this...Fuel mileage is the Worst I have ever seen. ride comfort is horrible for this day and age. The interior looks like something high school kids designed. Reliability? what reliability.I think minor problems are considered normal for this truck and not rated against reliability. Take my advice if you need a work truck steer clear of these things. If a fast V8 is what you need then buy a sports car.and stop wasting precious resources building these things. I got rid of mine after 19 000miles and moved on at a huge loss.and bought a ford"

"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."

"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!"
