I am 4,000 miles away from 300,000 miles on my 2007 Toyota Tundra Limited. I have abused this truck for years off road at the hunting club, but I keep her maintained. An absolutely phenomenal truck. Toyota screwed up discontinuing the 5.7 L V8.
@@chrisdrives8204 Highway miles and offroad at the hunting club. Original engine and tranny. oil changed every 3k miles. tranny fluid never replaced. alternator replaced twice. third battery. water pump 3x. radiator once from a tree in the woods. AC compressor , condensor, evaporater coil and blwer. a few months ago new struts and shocks. transmission mounts. rear differential fluid replaced every 50k miles, aux outlet replaced, break rotors twice. Starter 1x. JBL speakers. michelin tires numerous times. winshield twice.nad the fuel system ckeaned at 250k miles - it made a huge difference. replaced the leather driver seat and pad this year as well.
Best truck in the world! Sold my 2012 Tundra after ten years to purchase the new Tundra hybrid and just few days ago I bought a used 2020 Tundra and soon will be selling the new one.
Strong engine for sure, I love mine it’s a 2010 5.7 as well. I been a Toyota guy since high school, I owned 2 corollas 03,07 and 1 Scion tc 07. I sold them all, didn’t had any major issues just maintenance. I discovered how reliable Toyotas are when my old brother blew the engine on his old Camry 6 years ago. Crazy story, he drove the car without oil for 2 days 😂 I remember we heard a knocking noise and the oil light was on. He didn’t bother to check the oil he just kept driving the car for 2 days. The 2nd on our way to a soccer game the engine finally gave up. That’s when I realized the only way to break down a Toyota is by having a dumbass do it himself.
I had a 2013 that I drove for 9.5 years and 185,000 miles. ZERO problems. Amazing truck. Had to upgrade to a 1 ton so sold it, but agree, it's the best pickup truck ever made.
I could use a 3/4 ton. I tow my 28' toy hauler with 2 thousand pound toy . I use a equalizer with a break and air bags. I'm aways pushing my toe weight. Plus I live out west. What else could one ask for?
I have 7 Toyotas right now. Bought all but one of them with over 200,000 miles. Im glad you liked your truck. But I think Toyotas begin to set themselves apart with DOUBLE as many miles as you had! Still good to hear though.
I recently picked up a 2008 because I was lucky enough to find one with only 74k miles, clean title and dealership maintenance records dating back to when it was brand new. It replaced a vehicle that was 10 years newer, yet it runs much smoother and is more enjoyable to drive. After simply upgrading the radio and adding a backup camera, there's nothing I miss from having a newer vehicle. It holds up incredibly well and feels like it could outlive me!
i got mine a few months ago tundra 2014 5.7 1794 E with 100 miles and run as new.....i had many cars for last 20years, GMC hd2500, ranger rover 2016 diesel, Jaguar xj v6 2010, land cruiser v8 2008, Chevy avalanche 2008. patrol Nissan 1998. some of em new brand I just fall in love with Tundra.. i didn't get that feeling on any of my ex cars
Got my 2008 5.7 new and we are still in the honeymoon phase. Have kept up with the preventative maintenance. Replaced the rubber antenna base and rubber window belt line seals (the sun kills even the best rubber here with time) - both were cheap and easy to do. Many body of these parts are and will be available OEM and didn't change over the long run of this series. Mine will probable sell in my estate sale.
My 2015 has 249k, no problems, oil level is always same (I check every oil change), and runs with same power as when I bought it new. Only thing I had to do is change the water pump at around 200k (has a weeping valve that starts to show moisture when it’s time to change). I only use synthetic oil. I go back to the dealer every now an then to have it revised an see if there’s anything needing attention but no, last time they just recommended to change wiper blades. 👍
I purchased the very last '21 Tundra delivered to Canada. It was delivered in late Nov. 21 and it is a Midnight Black Metallic TRD Sport Premium Crew Max. The Sport Premium in Canada was loaded with leather, heated seats and many other extras included in the package. I initially placed a pre-order for a '22 Limited TRD Off-Road as there were no '21's left to purchase in Canada. The '21 became available due to another customer's pre-order cancellation at the same dealer. The dealer went down the list of '22 pre-orders and I was number seven on the list. Fortunately for me, the six people ahead of me turned it down. I feel so fortunate and very grateful to have been able to purchase the last '21 V8 Tundra as it is the exact year, model, package and color that I initially wanted. What are the odds of that happening at the very same dealer that I placed my pre-order at? It's my first truck and first Toyota and I couldn't be happier with the proven bulletproof V8. 👍
I have a 2016 1794 CrewMax. I feel one of the best vehicles ever. Only problem I initially had was the front bumper senior unit. Once they were replaced, no more problems. 49k miles, Highway miles great.
@willmarkland882 it's a great feeling that one of the most important tools you use every day. Is dead soild! Always there and dependable. It almost becomes a friend. Yep. I have a 08 tundra.
Purchased a 2017 Tundra CrewMax Limited new off the lot in 2016, traded that in for a 2020 Tundra TRD Pro CrewMax new off the lot in 2020 COVID year. Love the reliability of this truck, sure it may not have all the bells and whistles some of the newer models have but its a rock solid truck and I love it. I am hanging on to my 2020 TRD Pro and will make that a long term vehicle for years to come. That model really is a hotel room on wheels. So much space.
Have a 2019 platinum with 110k miles with some upgrades. Tow a 6700 pound 30 foot travel trailer with ease and comfort. Keep up with the maintenance and they keep on running. Love my tundra.
That will probably turn out to be a fantastic deal. Probably use it for 100,000 miles then sell it for $50,000 with inflation in the future and it’s a classic.
I'm glad you touched on the fact they removed the transmission cooler. I was one day from buying a 2020 TRD Pro before I found out they removed it. It immediately made it a no go for me since I tow. Bought a one owner 2011 Platinum with 45k on it instead
I got a 2016 Tundra SR-5 TRD Off-road Crewmax 112,000 miles on it. Basic maintenance ( oil /filters 0W-20 every 7,000miles , at 111,000 miles replaced brake pads and rotors/ front wheel bearings / spark plugs ( all preventative maintenance/ would have needed to replace, but still had life in all. Wife’s 2017 RAV4 is just as reliable.
You don't buy a truck for good mileage you buy them to haul heavy loads and towing turbo engines are fine if it's a diesel engine I would never want a gasoline turbo they run to HOT blow seals and ware out the engine faster
Lmao, 3rd gen Tundra uknown longevity for the smaller twin turbo motor, 😂 just had a call from the dealer to drop it off for investigation so that I can be first in line for the engine replacement.
Thanks a lot for this video! The reason I'm here - I currently have 2022 f150 xlt 302a with 5.0, for only 1.5 years and 44k kms - and want to get rid of it. It was my first brand new vehicle, which I've custom ordered (from engine and options like 360 camera with adaptive cruise, interior work surface and bed step to rear end gear ratio). Had to wait for 8 month for it to be build and finally got it in Sept 2022... My excitement about the purchase ended after about 2 weeks and 1,000 kms - ever since new, the transmission is just a garbage. Like you've said in the video - having a warranty is great, but if Ford's policy is to say that it's normal - nothing you can do about it. However, after pushing dealer - at 8k kms, shifting tables were reset, then later reset again, then at about 17k kms - software update. 25k kms - still drives like crap - dealer "can't replicate the problem". Finally at about 35k km - it got so bad that dealer acknowledged the problem - 38 k kms trans valve body replaced. Got a bid better but still jerks, clunks and lunging with every downshift. 41 kms - cdf drum tsb performed ( they removed and took transmission apart, basically a rebuild at this point) - it's a bit better, but not even ok, on top of this it now clunks at every acceleration like there is a freeplay between the gears. On top of transmission issues - active grill shutters stopped working, fog lights were replaced after 1st winter, and some random electronic gremlins ( screen not responding, power windows not working and then magically do, the next day). And of course - recalls. It's in the shop pretty much every month. It is my 2nd f150 - the one before was 2019 with 5.0, which I've also had for less then 2 years - and that one was even worse, lot's of problems ( lots and lots of transmission issues, 5.0 injectors, water leak in cab, key fob dead, window defrost, warped dash ). Since it's the best sold truck and because of all RU-vid reviews and forums - I've convinced myself that I've just had a bad luck, and decided get 2022 f150. Turns out it's a norm for Ford... Now strongly considering getting a used 2021 Tundra. Thanks for your video!
purchased a new 21 in oct of 21 for 49k. the 24’s that just came out are $87K. let that sink in. 90% increase in price for a truck that will not last as long. shame on you toyota
I bought mine new in 08. I have no reason to get rid of it. This truck continues to meet my needs. And with the price of new unreliable trucks these days. Best buy I ever made. Great truck!
My 2016 TRD OR Limited has 120,000 on it. I have not been easy on this truck. Lots of towing. Off-road quite a bit, and she rips like the day it left the lot. All the regular maintenance is done , but other than that brakes and tires. It hasn’t skipped a beat. Love my truck!
Bought a 2019 new right before covid. Got it ridiculously cheap. Could turn around and sell it for atleast what I paid for it new. Even with over 50,000 miles.
I think my 2002 4x4 4.7L Tundra that's about to hit 200k is a better made truck than my 2007 4x2 5.7L Tundra with 316k is, but I also think the 2007 is a better pickup truck in general because it's actually a full size Toyota truck and the 5.7L is an awesome V8 engine.
So the years to get is the 15 and the 18. From all the research ive done. The 2013 was on par as well, those years would be the ones to get. I got a 15, im not a fan of TSS. TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE.
I drove from Pa. to Denver in Aug of 2022 to buy a rust free high mileage 213,000 mile Tundra. I now have 231,800 on it and did a FULL maintenance on it when I got back. I also had it undercoated with New Hampshire oil Black to keep the rust at bay. I haven't regretted buying one with high mileage in the least. I expect it to outlive me...... oh what a feeling.
@@chrisdrives8204 They do. If I wanted a rust bucket I would have stayed here or picked up a POS from Ohio. Never buy an Ohio car, ton's o rust and they have zero for any type of safety inspection. If it runs you are good to go in Ohio.
I’m at 193k miles on my 2014 and I drive it hard but do scheduled maintenance, I’ve had to replace the AC blower motor that was $100 and a 5 min DIY job, and the tailgate latch failed but found a replacement on Amazon for $30… 10/10 would recommend unless you need a diesel for towing.
Just bought a 2007 Crew Max in really nice condition. Straight body, excellent paint, without rust. Actually has a six inch lift and aftermarket wheels and 35 inch tires. I wasn't looking for that, but it's interesting. Runs good. I bought the truck for the deal that I got on it because I basically paid for the wheels and tires and got the truck thrown in for free.
Just bought mine, a 2015 4x4 SR5 DCLB. Fantastic truck, coming from a Dodge/Ram fan. Plenty of power, drives smooth, features are a little utilitarian and simplistic but that's a good thing on a truck, it's not a Cadillac. Durability and longevity, great half ton towing capacity, plenty of room, all at the expense of slightly below market average half ton fuel economy. You'll pay for it but it is probably the best half ton truck made in the last two decades, all things considered.
I test drove both during ending 2021. The 21 and 22, bought a 21 instead, pretty much same price to me. Only difference i truly came to was i was either gonna get a Tundra or Tacoma with a V6 twin that didnt feel comfortable inside. Personal preference aside, i have high horsepower street cars so i could car less about a couple HP. Comfort, reliability, tested and true was major and the cabin felt home. Never buying the new Tundras. Id rather get back to Diesel/build then buy those. But opinion aside, i know i can tow and go for thousands of miles tested. Have fun with whatever yall drive folks!!!
Bought a 2011 crew max black Rock warrior in 2022. It was a one owner and very well taken care of. Had 241k miles and now has 256k miles. Has a slew of options and possibly the best truck I have owned. Runs just as good as it looks. Not even thinking about rust.

I HAVE A 2016 with only 69k trd offroad . we also own a Tacoma . so we nicknamed the tundra taco supreme
I don't know about the best, but it does what it was built for. Being a truck. With the new model engine fiasco going on, It makes back models look really good!
Owned a 2015 crew cab for a year, but traded it in for a 2016 crewmax for the bigger cab, and the bigger gas tank from factory (o.e.m.) and the electric power window facing the bed. Got 115,000 and only did maintenance and had to replace front wheel bearings ( passenger side starting to make a little noise, so replaced both front wheel bearings) that's all I have had to do.
I just bought my first Toyota Tundra 2007 Limited Crewmax 5.7 V8 209k miles on it and the power 😳 it’s gorgeous. I’ll definitely stay a Tundra person. I have maybe another 5 years due to the rust under the dang thing.
My 2008 5.7L crewmax had 287k I tow campers for a living weekly many about 5k to 6700k I had no issues with it other then brakes, tires and fluids, plugs. I hit a point I wanted it to break down just to give me an excuse to tell my wife o needed a newer truck lol. Buy it didn't miss a beat. It was rock solid, tight, no clunks or rattles, super cabin, neck snapping power, didn't burn any oil every 5-6k when I changed it. I towed a 5k loaded camper to Bruce canyon 750 miles and averaged 14.5 mpg hand calculation. Trick was unreal. Upgraded it for work and a tax write off to a 2016 same model with 212k. Now need a new power steering rack and get 4mpg wirse niles gallon despite Serling at Toyota. The newer tundras 2014 newer as good as they are don't touch the 2006-2013 in build quality. I'm confident my 2008 would have gone a million miles with just services
I biggest complaint with my 2017 crewmax is the interior storage. The lack of rear storage and the huge open center console bugs me. Toyota could’ve gave us better options. Other then that I absolutely love my truck.
I have a 2020 tundra cm and I cut out parts of the hump below the rear seat and made my own under seat storage by framing in the cuts outs with bed liner painted plywood. Or you can buy the aftermarket drop ins instead.
@@user-fg2rd3zx3f sure they are, they're built in Texas. Majority of half ton owners know that, yet the Tundra always has terrible sales numbers, year after year. Not a very popular truck.
I think it does have a little to do with the “American made” thing. Regardless of assembly location it’s foreign to many. On Sunday I bought a 2020 Tundra 4x4 crewmax and will be selling my F250 diesel soon, I’ve had it 19 years and it’s been good to me, 244,000 miles but time to let it go. Only kept it because it’s not one of the “DEF” consuming diesels, it’s less hassle with less emission stuff but either way it’s for sale. The Tundra I’m sure will be the last truck I ever buy.
good video bro! however, the Tundra actually shares nothing with the Land Cruiser, even the engine isn’t the same as the Land Cruiser’s 5.7 is tuned specifically just for it. The Tundra shares more with the Sequoia tho
@@chrisdrives8204 not at all. for one the Land Cruiser/LX 570 are built in their own factory in Japan, the Tundra is built here stateside. idk if you’re familiar with a guy named Toyota Car Care Nut here on RU-vid but he basically explains it.
Thinking of buying one and selling my POS RAM .... but i got a 9k lb camper i pull 3-4 times a year not crazy about the idea of pulling that much with this truck
@chrisdrives8204 always within a hr drive and mostly hiway ... I see the towing capacity of these 2nd gen tundras all over the place some list pulling weight to be 7500 lbs others I've seen claim 11k lb towing capacity
I bought a new 2018 Limited Toyota Tundra crew max. It had several good things about it but the brakes were the weakest I have ever felt in a vehicle. With only a few miles on it, I put Hawk aftermarket brake pads on it and that helped some but still weak brakes. I have a F-150 now and the brakes are not an issue.
I've heard this before, whuch is weird because they have/had the largest rotors on a half ton pickup. Not sure if they still do but when they came out their brakes were by far the biggest.
@@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix The rotors are probably not the issue. Maybe the pressure modulation was too low relative to the foot pressure. I even had to be careful at a stop light that the truck didn't start creeping forward even though I had my foot on the brake. The "you are about to crash" sensor came on too even though nothing was in my path. Nice looking truck though.
@@jebsdaddy141 i hate that collision avoidance. I had a rental one time and there was some idiot riding in the left lane so I moved to the middle land to pass him. Just as I had passed and was about to move to the left lane to pass a car that was in the middle lane, a slow car from the right moved to the middle and right as I got into the legt lane the freaking car slammed on the brakes. Scared me and I'm sure the dumb ass in the left lane that I had just passed thought I brake checked him. I was actually on the freaking gas whem this happened. So with these systems you have to be careful and really modify your driving habits in heavy traffic. Ut as far as your brakes. That is wierd because neither of my dads tundras or my wifes sequoia have any issues with braking. Maybe you're brake booster has an issue or your brake fluid needs changed.
@@joseperezpaz9986 turbos generally don’t go past 100,000 miles before they break down and need to be replaced or at least have major issues, so I honestly hope that the new tundras engine v6 with turbo can last like the old ones did.
