Quote HistoryQuoted: The fuel pump randomly runs. Theres a reason for it, but don't be alarmed if you walk in your garage at 2am and hear a whining noise from the fuel tank. The first time I couldn't sleep and was dicking around in the garage after buying mine and the wife's 4runner both started running, it scared the shit out of me lol. Still takes some getting used to, I think they run every 10-12 hrs. OP, I've been very pleased w/mine, other than the gas mileage which I knew was an issue going in. Mine will average between 18-20 on hwy trips, but only around 12.5 for tanks that were only city stop & go. Sucks, but the Ford & Chevy work pickups I've driven weren't much better if any. I only buy new vehicles every 15 years, so the older tech isn't an issue for me. It's head and shoulders above my old 2005. Honestly, after 4-5 years, all that fancy shit quits working on the other manufacturers I've driven anyways. So I'm not really seeing the big deal there. The factory sound system sucks imho. I spend a lot of time in mine & love my tunes, so i swapped the multimedia center for a larger touchscreen and swapped all speakers & amps out for JL Audio & Audio Frogs. Very happy now. I would highly recommend adding the rear sway bar, it makes a huge difference in handling. Other than that, I swapped my chrome grill out for the PRO grill and added a topper for my gigantic ass dog. '20 Limited & 1st Toyota I've ever owned. I almost bought a '20 Denali w/ the inline 6 duramax, but damned if just couldn't bring myself to write that check. Instead, I spent $20k more and bought the wife a new 4runner too. I'm happy w/the Tundra, but wish I would've gotten her a GX460 every time I get in the 4runner. I hate the way it drives and the overall lack of power. It does look good tho. I'll give it that.  ETA: I did add a aftermarket trans cooler. I never had the trans temp light come on, but I do quite a bit of light towing and pull a 10' dump trailer loaded more than I'd like to. I figured it couldn't hurt and gave me a little more piece of mind. |

I have a 17. It’s ok at best.
Outdated, slow, low payload, it feels cheap. I love how reliable it is, never had anything mechanical go out on it. It’s pretty solid. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: My 2011 Rock Warrior has been a great truck but the gas mileage has TANKED recently and we can't figure out why. Went from 15-17mpg highway to like 8-10. Compression and all the other sensors and tests come back normal. Check for frozen calipers. I had the LR frozen from day one, so 12 mpg is all I ever got. After replacing all the calipers and brakes at 40K, I instantly started to get 15mpg. |

I have a 2022 Magnetic Gray Tundra SR5 with TRD sport and convenience packages on order.
This was my 2020 Tundra which I traded for my Gladiator Rubicon. It was a beast. The Gladiator was great, but now I need more dedicated towing capacity, so I'm back into a Tundra. The Tundra comes with a 32.2 fuel tank vs. the 18 gal tank in the Jeep.

Ended up cancelling the order, as the truck had a street suspension and wheels.
Replaced with a base white SR5 4x4 with convenience package, estimated to arrive in early June. Only planned mods are TRD or Go Rhino raptor style running boards, bed cover, and catalytic converter anti theft skids. Thieves use a sawzall to remove the four cats in a few minutes, and they're about 4k to replace. |

Payload rating is for highway speeds and is meaningless for all of rhe manufacturers.
I have shoveled up 5,000 lbs of rock and hauled it across town multiple times. I have had 3 to 4 thousand pounds of steel in the back as well. Would I drive down the interstate with that, hell no. But I would haul across town without a second thought. Just slow down and take it easy. People act like if you exceed the manufacturers rating by 1 lb the entire truck will instantly fall apart. I honestly don't think there is any real difference between any of the 1/2 ton trucks out there. They are all many many times more capable than 1/2 tons were 30 years ago. |

My leaf springs are barely arched anymore after loading a bed full of firewood a few times. The Tundra is better for towing than carrying. |

I love mine. 16 or 17. Other than gas mileage, it’s a awesome truck. It’s lacking features that other models of the same year. Mine has almost 100k and no issues. If you can, get the non flex fuel model. They’re rated from the manufacturer to only require an oil change every 10000 miles. Vs every 5000 miles.

2020 limited, solid truck, just works great. Plastics feel cheap but they don’t squeak or rattle, seats are nice. 5.7 is silky smooth and moves when you get on it plus it doesn’t have auto stop start or cylinder shut off,trans is perfect, always in the right gear with no clunking or bucking ever. Ac could be colder but other than that it’s a great truck that I might just keep for a couple decades.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Just received a message that my Tundra is just being built, and to expect to take delivery by mid-July. If you are in Texas, your Tundra has a scheduled build date of mid-July if you are being told to expect a mid-July delivery date. Tundras out of TMMT are on a truck to Gulf States Toyota within hours of hitting the load lines. They are usually on the ground in Houston within five hours of loading in San Antonio unless a driver doesn't have the hours to make it back. Once at GST the average vehicle is processed and shipped out within 48 hours of arrival. There is only one Toyota dealer in Texas that can't be reached in one day's driving hours from Houston.

I will admit freight out of TMMT is nothing like it was for previous generation Tundras. I don't know what part shortage or quality delays are doing to production times. I do know TMMT used to claim something under 24 hours from raw materials to driving out the door. Im any case of I happen to haul your Tundra I promise it'll make it in one piece. Tundra fans may know me from previous hits such as "Prototype #9" and "That bright-ass orange pre-production TRD PRO that Doug DeMuro and everyone else abused."  Attached File Attached File |

Our shop truck is a 2020 TRD PRO V8. Drives nice.... but my two complaints...
1x brakes require too much movement and pressure to stop to the point I don't trust them. 2x The seats are way too big and wide. I slide around in them... and I'm not a twig, I'm 6' 200lbs. Edit: 3x I think the TRD PRO is the highest trim, and for a 2020 high trim car the sound system absolutely sucks Now the brakes are probably fine, but coming from a sports car and compared to our Mercedes van I don't like them. On our long haul 24+hr drive in March pulling a trailer, I had to shove a pillow between myself and the door to be comfortable.... thats how wide the seats are.  |

I have a 2010, silver, 2 wheel drive, extended cab with the 5.7. Runs great and just broke 130k. I have only replaced one battery and had an air blower failure. The blower thing and is a known defect that was covered for free until 100k on my truck. The blower went out around 85k. Thing cost them something like 4k to repair or so I was told. The truck is my daily driver.

When I rented a 26' trailer and didn't realize the brakes didn't work until after I had 5000 lbs loaded on it, then not one but TWO moms in suburbans decided to turn left right in front of me, by Tundra slowed me down enough to prevent an accident. Again, without trailer brakes. Now the brakes aren't an on/off switch like some cars, but they certainly work well. Some peeps put on 20" wheels, a caliper bracket from IDK what, and bigger rotors, but I haven't had the need. Even coming down 4000-5000 foot descents with my trailer loaded up (which has working brakes), everything's A-OK in the braking department. |

My 2015 5.7 SR5 4x4 DC has 146k on it. I've had it since 75k. The only maintenance beyond oil changes is I had a squeaking serpentine belt, so the swap took about 15 minutes. It took longer to take the skid plate off for access than it did to change the belt. I changed spark plugs yesterday for the first time. I don't know if they were originals with 146k but they had at least 70k on them amd didn't really needed changed but I have a road trip ahead of me and wanted some assurance of no issues.
Gone are the days of swapping plugs for $20. These were $96, but every 100k makes it easier to deal with. |

I trade up around 70-90K Issues, AC/Heat fan blower motors suck. Easy to replace yourself. AC seats are a joke. Heated seats work well. No heated steering wheel. Toyota tech is average. The 2021 finally got Apple car play added. Best towing 1500 I’ve owned. Gas mileage suffers for it. (I tow around 6K a few times a month) Comfortable (for me) Reliable Stereo is marginal, even with upgraded system 4WD system is decent for basic offroad use Interior quality is good and holds up under hard use. Decent storage and easy to work out of. Payload is average. |
