Holds its value

Had this truck for 3 years out 85k miles on it. Got me across the country multiple times. Only thing I can complain about is the turn radius is horrible. Large back seats, 8 cup holders, the rear window roles down. Nice full size large bed. Has great towing capability. And the best is it gets pretty great gas mileage for a v8.20 in the city and 26 on the highway

Only Owned It For 60 Days But Very Pleased!

I have a 2004 Sequoia, and really like everything about it. The 2005 Tundra Double Cab has all of the same features I like about my Sequoia w a couple additional items - push button 4 WD, heated seats, and a long bed. Everything I like about the SUV in a pickup truck!

Great truck

I have now put 180,000 miles on my Tundra. Simply stated I will never sell it. It is a perfect midsize truck that will act like a big truck when needed. My six cylinder is sometimes asked to haul a trailer with horses and it doesn't flinch.

4.0L Tundra

I bought this truck new in late 2004. So far the only thing that's needed repair or replacement are the rear wheel bearings and that ocurred at around 150K miles. I now have almost 160K miles on this vehicle and it still doesn't burn a drop of oil. I've used full synthetic oil since 35K miles and kept on top of maintainence. I'm sure it'll go to 200K but new car fever may prevent ME from seeing that. All in all i'd heve to say it's been a great vehicle.

05 Tundra Limited

If Toby Keith were to write a song about this truck it would be "I love this truck" Could use just a little more towing and passing power, rides and handles well, very well equipped. Would like full skid plates. Love the power rear window. Rides well but putting new Bilsteins on it, already retreaded it with Grabber 2's. More aggressive styling would be nice. An all around nice truck.

Great Truck

I have a Toyota T 100. Because of it's reliability I bought the Tundra after reading the Tundra's record. I have had it about 2 months now and it is the best riding truck I ever owned and the v-8 has all the power you would ever need. It has 4 wheel drive and you would never know it from the smooth ride. It is very quite and rides better than most cars. I have the crew cab and it has a short turn radius. I just wish they still made this size Tundra. The gas mileage is good for a truck averaging around 18 miles per gallon all around. Better on the interstate and less around town. But the comfort is worth the extra cost over the smaller trucks. I love all the features on the Limited Edition. I have owned Toyota's for 30 years and not disappointed yet!

Gets the job done

Purchased new. Now has 85000 miles. Own 4x4 regular cab with 4.7 V8 engine. Raised registered Angus cattle in western Oklahoma. Not the most comfortable truck, but it has done everything that I ask of it. Only maint./repair has been to change oil and air filter every 10000 miles (use synthetic). Live in country on dirt roads. Pulling trailers, building fences, my truck is regularly used beyond factory specifications. I feel every bump in the pasture and the seats are uncomfortable, but the Tundra never fails. Whether it is minus 13 or 110, the truck just starts and works. Drove Dodges for 30 years, and became a good Mopar mechanic, but not by choice. Toyota allows me to be a rancher, instead of a Mopar mechanic. In my book, Dodges ride better and look better, but Toyota builds a better truck. Wish that Toyota would build a one-ton model, then I could sell my remaining two Dodges.

Top Quality

I have had Chevrolet, Ford and Dodge Trucks. Overall, I feel the Tundra is/was light years ahead of these others I have owned.
