Nice Truck

I just purchased this truck pre-owned. It is a big step up from the previous model of the Tundra. It drives and rides much better and has a lot more power. It has lots of nice features like USB port and Bluetooth.

Tundra Crewmax is the best truck you can have.

huge leg room, fast engine response & plenty of power with the 5.7L V8. it's quiet if you just ride easy but it's very responsive & loud when you hit the gas. this truck won't let you down... very intuitive navigation system and easy to sync with the phone. there's storage pockets everywhere. the back window rolls up & down completely not just the middle section like every other truck which is so convenient in hot days to get rid of the hot air inside when you first get in it headlights can be adjusted up & down with a switch. I love this truck.

Make you feel so bold

I have the 4.6l double cab, its very strong for my need. The 6 speeds tranny is amazing. The truck jumps with just a slight press on the pedal. Just wish the mpg was a big better than 16 (I am currently averaging). Overall I am really happy with it.

Too many part failures, extended warranty a must!

I am not pleased with this vehicle. At less than 50,000 miles I have had the truck in twice for Air Injection Pump failure/problems. I've had the entire rear axle and axle assembly replaced due to faulty seals/bearing. I've got a terrible roar from the front passenger wheel that the dealership cannot diagnose. Lastly, I've got a terrible intermittent "bump" in the transmission that the dealer cannot diagnose.

Toyota Trucks Are Awesome!

Prior to this truck, I owned a Dodge Ram and didn't think anything could out-tow my dodge, but I was wrong! This Tundra tows my fully-loaded horse trailer with no issues! It's smooth and quiet with a great sound system and very comfortable seats - and I have the basic model! I have not had to take it to the shop for repairs once and we're almost at 100,000 miles. Toyota really does make a nice, long-lasting, dependable, and powerful truck. From here on - I will always own a Toyota!

Most Reliable

You can't go wrong with a Toyota...this truck will last a lifetime! Plenty of leg room, comfortable and dependable. Safety is a must for my family and I feel that this truck meets those requirements.

Awesome Truck

I had my 2012 Tundra for three years and loved it. Most reliable truck out there. The ride is stiff and strong like a truck should be. Plenty of power to haul and carry.

Snazzy Pickup

As pickups go this truck rates tops with me. Not only is it good looking but very functional. I've owned 3 recent versions of this truck and each one seems to be better that the previous one. The back seat reclines and the rear window lets down, how cool is that?
