I will be in the market for a new ride come the first part of the year. I'm interested in the Toyota Tundra......any owners got any feedback?

I've never had a Tundra but they look good. I love my Titan though, its a 2005 crew cab and I still smile everytime I jump into it.

Yep, their looks is the only reason I want one. I can't afford fuel for those Titans.

My son has a Tundra and loves it. Had a Chevy Z-71 for 5 or so years before the Tundra,but feels as though this is a much better ride. Pulls a 22 foot Robalo bay boat all over and the torque is great on this truck and gas mileage is better. I've been in it once and it does have a pretty smooth ride.

I know a dude that has an '08 that gets 17 mpg. It's a 4WD so a 2WD should get a little better.

I have the baby brother(tacoma 4 door) and love it... Its an 08 with almost 80k on it and havent had a single problem... people that ride in it say it almost doesnt feel like you are riding in a truck

What's the mileage difference in a Tundra and Tacoma? Is yours a 6 cyl?

That's a good bit of difference in the Tundra. I ain't pullin' nothin' but I definitely want the good ride.

My uncle has a tundra crew max with the 5.7...that think is a beast! Very smooth ride and lots of room in the back seat. We always take it up north to the deer lease cause it has so much room and very comfortable. On the other hand,the tacoma is a nice truck too. I went to big lake with meaux in his a couple times....can hardly tell the boat is back there.

[Salty]

I like it!

I have 06 tacoma pre runner v6.
Tows the boat like its not there. no problems so far and rides great
Only wish now i'd bought the tundra v8 so i could pull a larger travel trailer

[goldenrod]

I just got the tundra crew max 5.7 and I love it. Has a very smppth ride and lots of room and storage between the two front seats.

mine is the prerunner sr5 long wheelbase btw...

I have a 08 tundra double cab with the 5.7, i dunno about now but at the time the 5.7 was only a thousand bones more and got better mileage due to the 6 speed tranny vs the 5 speed. I find the 5.7 has plenty of torque (I have no problem pulling a 40 hp kubota 4x4 with front end loader and tiller) and gets 13 mpg while pulling it. I average 18 mpg on a daily basis, and get between 19-21 mpg on the highway. The double cab has about the same room as a dodge quad cab and a 6.5' bed vs the crew max's 5' or 5.5' bed (which is why i wanted the double cab for the bigger bed). The tacoma was just too small for what I do with my truck imho.

I have a '04 tacoma pre-runner 4-door with the TRD package..... Almost 150,000 on it and its still rolling strong. its the 6cyl and i get about 17-18 normally, highway is around 20-21.... It has the locking rear differential that has got me out of bind more than once.....and works really well for launching boats. If your getting a 2wd i would make sure it has this. Thinking back i don't remember changing anything but the battery......

went look at em and they have storage compartments inside of storage compartments, very nice ride. I seen one fella pulling a little bull dozer with one a few months back.
