Absolutely! I filmed this over 4 months ago and I forgot how nice this truck was. I’m sure its MSRP wasn’t much more than its sell price at this point (high 30’s I think it was) but after seeing the prices of all those expensive trucks in the collapsed videos I share this seems like a steal lol. 5.7 Tundra is the new Gold, if you can afford 13mpg lol. 😂
A neighbor / friend bought a 2011 Tundra Access cab 4WD with the 8’ bed and 90K miles for $4K. It had been in an accident, so he put another $4K into it. So he basically paid $8K for his Tundra. He now has 170K miles and it still runs like new. He told me that he’ll keep it until it’s completely worn out. It’s a bit rough body wise because it’s a work truck, but mechanically it’s in perfect condition. They have an older Lexus with the 4.7 V8 and they have a gazillion miles on it. In a few years they’ll give it to their son for his first car and I’m sure if he doesn’t wreck it, it’ll be passed down to their other 2 kids. He told me that they’ll buy a 24 or older 4Runner for his wife after they give their son the Lexus.
That sounds like an awesome plan they have. And what a steal on the wrecked Tundra! I’m sure next time gas prices jump up 40% you’ll be able to find these things at a really affordable price. I have no need for a full size but I do like the 5.7 Tundras. 😁
Just for the record I actually filmed this video back in February! And while I don’t remember what I said since that was 4 months ago, I do want credit for claiming this as the most reliable truck. Especially since many of the new 3.4 V6 TT Tundra engines have been recalled! That is all. 🤪
I Loved our 2010 Tundra 4WD Access cab with the 5.7L V8, but we couldn’t afford 8 mpg city and 15 mpg on the highway. I sure do LOVE my 23 Tacoma TRD Off Road, double cab , long bed with the Premium and Technology pkgs. At 315 horsepower and 295 lb ft of torque at 2,300 RPM, while getting 21.9 mpg at 86 mph.
Oh I bet, those and the Titans with the 5.6 were stout when they first came out! It’s funny that Toyota and Nissan then literally never updated or truly modernized them again haha. I miss my 2017 3rd gen Tacoma, but I’m still happy to drive Subarus since I’ve never had a lemon experience.
I apologize when I actually filmed this video was over 4 months ago so I don’t recall, and I’ve only driven a few column shift vehicles like this since owning one over 10 years ago. So I don’t have a fresh reference of how it was mechanically tuned compared to other vehicles. Hopefully others will be able to answer this question for you! Thanks for watching. 🙂
Yeah, for sure! This video was filmed over 4 months ago and probably just on the camera mic or a cheaper lapel mic. All my new stuff is a much more professional grade one. But I still have a number of these old videos left to post, lol. Thanks for watching!
