2006 Toyota Tundra consumer reviews

I love my Tundra which I have owned for 12 years and over 100,000 miles (now at 155,000 +). I just spent $2650 to get the frame repaired from corrosion. The area just forward of the leaf spring mounting has a plate mounted on the inside with rivets holding it to the main portion of the frame. This creates a space where water can remain and cause corrosion. My truck is babied and garage kept and still suffered this issue. I am an engineer and consider this issue a design problem. Toyoto should be ashamed of themselves. When I contacted them they refused to help because 10 years ago they recalled the truck, inspected it and recoated the problem areas. They should have advised owners to check, clean up and recoat this area yearly.

Wish I could buy new but it is what it is. But other wise love this truck. Only wish I knew if my truck needed any of the recall done to it

I bought my 2006 Tundra new - ordered to spec. It has 200K on it with nothing more than basic maintenance. Poor beast has never had a garage - my lady's sedan always gets that honor. It has taken us across the country from duty station to duty station more times than I can count. It has towed everything from trailers to boats to sedans on trailers and has driven through every inclement weather from hurricanes to blizzards - and never let me down. Not flashy - just gets it done. I still laugh every time I see some bumptious wanna-be-tough guy in a new Dodge Ram driving fast in a parking lot. Ever notice how you don't see many old Dodge trucks - because most are junk 7 to 10 years after they roll off the line. Then notice how many 30 year old Toyotas you see on the road - quietly rolling along.

I purchased a used 2006 Tundra just for local driving…. It’s more reliable than my 2021 Chevy… I have 171k on it and use it more than my new car. I know… I will be purchasing a new tundra when my Chevy is paid off

Purchased in Oct. 06, SR5 2Dr Tundra, 4.01 V6 engine. Oct. 23, mileage 75,000, no mechanical problems, maintenance and oil changes by purchasing dealer. Cons, bad turning radius and gas mileage. Will never sell, keep future ownership in family as well.

I have had the opportunity to own every kind of trucks except a Honda Ridgeline and I can say that the 2006 series Tundra was the best. Drove it for 2 years without oil change or simple tuneup and kept on driving. Drove this beast for 235k miles and then trade it in for a bigger Tundra.

100% overall for a truck not perfect but close! The only 2 things that I don't like (but no big issue just got to get use to it)the gas mileage n the tight turning radius it has! Other than that extremely happy about the overall in all the areas for this pickup! Pay for what u get for! Take care of it! Will take care of u! Hope this will help for someone going to get one of these 1st Gen pickup trucks! One word I would describe this pickup would be BULLITT PROOF!!!!

Best truck I’ll ever own. Always finding excuses to drive it. 200k miles and runs perfect. The raise 3” is nice. And 20” tires with rims and a Westin grill guard to protect that sexy iforce v8. Power back window. The Limited with side steps is a plus to get in. Beast mode

I’ve own a 2006 tundra limited for 16 years and the experience has been a win win deal I’ve own Chevy,fords and dodge before but after owning a tundra I say that I will stick with it for the rest of my life for its reliability and performance.all I have done to it is normal maintenance.....Lov it

This truck has alot of room for an extended cab base and the quality of the truck is great. I would own one as long as it been kept in the south
