Toyota Tundras are reliable, sturdy, and fun to drive.
I love my Tundra. It's reliable and sturdy. I expect it will last at least 200,000 miles. I have no complaints!

SUV nice big interior and medical kit included.
We bought it used. The price was right. We have never had a minutes trouble with it. It is the perfect size for my husband and I when we travel.

Never a problem.
Bought new in 2003. 290,000 miles. Not a single problem. I hope to reach 400,000.

It last for a lifetime, if you do regular maintenance.
No problems, this truck is the best that I have owed yet I do recommend anyone to own a Toyota if they want a vehicle that last.

It has 335,000 miles on it.
Got the truck brand new in 2004 with only test drive miles on it. It now has 335,000+ miles on it and it still drives like the day I bought it. I wish I had 3 more of them.

Gas mileage, tires are expensive, Toyota builds vehicles to last.
Great for being able to transport stuff. Also a great truck for trailing things around. I like that it is safe and I have 180,000 miles on it and it has not given me much trouble.

My car is always good on snow, highly reliable, and good resale value
My car has a very low maintenance cost, and simply does not give me major problem, and very good on snow. Performs at a higher level, very reliable, and also on high demand for sale. The only minor problem for my car is high gas cost. The tundra base engine is very strong. As I said before, It's full economy ratings of 15 mpg in the city and 19 mpg on the highway are among the lowest in our full size pickup truck

It is old but has lasted a long time and has a lot of miles on it
It has lasted a long time. The air conditioning is not very good. The paint job is coming off and is ugly. It is not comfortable to ride or drive in. It is old so it doesn't have any good features in it. The tires have to be replaced often because the thread is always bad.

Rust issues of Toyota pickup trucks.
I needed to have an engine seal replaced, oxygen sensors, steering arms, battery. The biggest problem was a rust problem with all of the undercarriage, primarily the frame. Toyota recalled the vehicle and sprayed undercoater on top of the rust which was a waste. For this reason I will never buy another Toyota.

Reliable. Enables me to go and do what I want. Comfortable
Good reliable transportation. Gets me where I want to go without hassle. .

It has survived for a long time despite being driven all over the US
The car is dying out. Have had it for too long and the transmission is giving up. Because of this driving is a hazard but I have no other choice for work. But it's not a bad car, lasted me this long ! It drives well, can take lots of miles on it and such.

Toyota tundra. The truck for the outsiders.
The Toyota tundra is the best vehicle you can have for a family that plays sports. The truck is durable and easy to drive. I have had no engine trouble with the tundra. We also go to the beach a lot in Hawaii. And this truck does the job. Big enough to fit all the kids with all our tents, surfboards, tables, tents, coolers, and chairs. You cannot go wrong with this Toyota tundra.
accountCircle Beth L on March 19, 2021
Safe and reliable! Regular maintenance keeps it running great.
It's very comfortable to ride in, easy to drive. It gets good mileage for a truck of its size. I have added a shell but that's made it very hard to see out the back. The 3 layers of dark glass are what makes it hard to see.
