I am looking for one. I can't believe it has the same trans as my Lexus GS. Same part #. The suffix is different because the GS has an AWD all time planetary TC. I read though the bed mounts rust.
That truck is identical to mine. When I was test driving it the salesman told me to push a certain button and when I saw that big beautiful back window open I did a u-turn and headed back to the dealership to write the check. It's the coolest thing I've ever seen and I get a lot of red light shout outs from others that think it's cool as well. In the middle of a Florida August summer day it's 120 inside the truck until you open all five windows and back up. Instant blow out. instant coolness.
I just bought a used 2011 Toyota Tundra. RDT This truck feels American. I keep thinking I'm in a Ford. The hp is too high for a kid. I bought this truck for my kid. I didn't test drive it because friends and family owns the dealership which notified me of this car, but I don't think I felt this much horsepower in my Mustang 5.0 or T-bird.
I have a '12 SR5 TRD. Bought new,chose the 4.6 b/c the 6 speed was purpose built for it. Feels plenty strong,pulling hard up through RPM range. I can touch 20 mpg unloaded. Great big brakes. Tow/haul mode is fun and pulls my 18 ft Ranger V-hull well. My biggest gripe is it don't like to give you control while spinning in snow or mud. I pull the ABS fuse and d/a the trac control when playing. I have heard changing the PS pump is costly(3k) due to needing to about pull the motor. The oil is more difficult to change,due to filter setup and the skid plate. I would buy it again though.
Actually 1st generation is longer and wider lol, double cab is. This 2nd gen also has a smaller turning radius. They just puffed it up so it is harder to see out of it, but essentially exactly the same size.
Just got a 2007 tundra limited crewmax with the trd package and 5.7L, I love it and it's in pretty close perfect condition. Only 150k miles used, had a 2007 tundra sr5 longbed with the 4.7L, still have it but needs a new engine, the dealership forgot to out oil in it after fixing the sparkplug. They said they put oil in it but turns out they didnt as it died on the highway. Also I think it was the same guy who broke my mirror while parking it that forgot to put oil. But I'll get a new engine for 500 bucks and install it and have it be my work truck or winter truck and have my new tundra be my daily to work, to get groceries and just to go places. While the new tundra is a huge upgrade the only downside is the fact that the bed is so small.
Grumpy Old Vet- 2007 Toyota Tundra Limited RWD Texas Edition CrewMax short bed - Awesome unit wish I could Read the small Print in the Manual- Can you do Review on The interior Controls & Dashboard gauges- Would help blind Old Vets in learning the functionality of each like Lexus Has for all its RX350 models! Thanks & God Bless!
Does the white color get boring eventually? It looks nice and I’m considering it but it does seem plain. Can’t decide between white or cement at this point.
Only thing to watch out for especially if looking for a used 07-13 is floor bed rust in the corners ,cam tower leaks and check the frame for excessive rust. I’m debating on buying a 09-13 tundra or gamble on trying to find a higher mileage 15 f150 5.0 aluminum body only looking to spend $12k Canadian.I live in Canada we use salt on the roads and thinking the fords aluminum body should along time .now my truck is no going to see a lot of miles just a wk end truck
Come on man! Didn’t even mention or show the rear seats functionality? You’re reviewing a CrewMax so why didn’t you show the most important thing? All I want to see is the function of the rear seat recliner and being able to move forward and backwards? Why don’t anyone have any reviews on that features? 🤦🏻♂️
I've got another upload on the Tundra Rock Warrior that may help you out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9HuA1s1qdTk.html Go to 8:20 on this one.
I have the same truck and I love it but I had an incident the belt had elongated tear in the serpentine belt and before I can change it on it shred it real bad when I caught it in time I didn't drive it very far at all I replaced the belt what a good mechanic but I think there was other damage to it what other damage can there be tribute one of the police might have got a little messed up and has to be replaced I need a mechanic anybody out there Tampa Bay area I'm not rich either so don't try to kill me LOL
I don't have any firsthand experience to go off but I have seen some higher mileage 2nd Gen Tundras that seem to be running strong still. If you haven't already come across it you should search million mile tundra.
My dad has the 2nd gen 5.7 with over 250k miles on it and it runs like as they say “brand new”. Just needs typical maintenance like every car and your good.
