Top 5 Reasons Toyota Tundra Pickup Trucks Are a Good Investment

This thing works 2014 70 thousand miles out of a set of tires,I'm at 90000 and not a problem,I'm interested in what they are going to do next but I feel like I want to drive the wheels off of this one,ok maybe I wii go to 2024

Don't forget the frame rust and buybacks. Then there's the frame flex and air pump failure's. Most american, the numbers used are a combination of US and Canadian parts.

Absolutely have nothing against Toyota brand, but his perceived-only quality superiority complex North Americans are suffering from regarding this brand due to the fact that at one time, way back in history, it was true, is getting to be a pretty worn out fantasy, and so are the arrogant owners who think they have something special. I bought an 1987 Toyota pickup new. Took care of it; blew a head casket after 8 years. Wore it out by '98; sold it for $800; bought a 1989 F150 with 98K miles for $5K. It with an inline 6 mated to a Mazda 5-speed. That truck, engine, body, paint, and tranny, and interior was industructable even by today's standards, but only 150 hp. Drove it till it was 25 and 250K. I'm sure there are many more examples of great quality vehicles, including pickups that are on par with Toyota. I see many 70s model Fords and Chevys, not as many Dodge's, not restored, but work trucks, that have been working since then, and they're not on the side of the road. Some are, but they're 42 years old. Media is biased. They're still hypmotized from the early 80s when there was an actual difference and not this perceived difference. Toyota and Honda forced quality up to a new level. I'll give them that, but not when it comes to full size pickups. Two of the three domestics have always built quality pickups. America needs to get beyond this perception and really look at how most brands have caught up. Look at how all these old GM cars just keep hanging around from the nineties, and these are not people who change oil every 3K and keep them garaged, but nothing is ever said about their durability. Yes Tundra builds great trucks, but I keep my 20 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, full sized, gas-powered great truck with equal capability, and I'll be fine at 200K.

Tundra has a heavy duty frame. It is not fully boxed like the F-150 or the Chevy 1500

The Tundra is 11 years old ! Toyota removed rear recliner and it has lost storage space. Most inefficient vehicle in its class. The Tundra is reliable I'll give it that, but after 11 years you would hope so.

Can't see how anyone could ever buy this seeing the lack of attention Toyota has given it. All they do is make cosmetic changes and make unsuspecting people believe it is all new. Even the Entertainment system is the worst.

Wait for the 2019 or 2020 model

So Ram surprised us with a diesel offering and actually made it as affordable as could be expected with the high cost of diesel emission compliance added to an already expensive material cost. Might have helped their bottom line that they cheated, but that's another topic for another day. So we can say that Ram actually made a bold move to move this product segment along; bottom line; they offer a 420 ft-lb peak torque pickup with up to 29 mpg highway. That's doing something, but what have the Asian-owned companies done with full-sized pickups. Almost nothing! And such a profitable segment! Yes, I know, Nissan designed and built an all new Titan. Hundreds of millions of dollars investment, but it has nothing modern or bold or new. It's certainly refreshed from the old Titan. It gets decent mpg. We still have only a 5.6 V8 or a 5.6 V8 as an engine choice. Tundra has reliability and great quality second to none but that's not everything. The 4.6L comes in at 16 mpg combined rating combined. No one else is that bad; not even the 6.2 V8 from GM. The 5.7L from Toyota comes in at 15 combined rating. That's worse than the Ford Raptor with 510 ft-lbs torque that comes in at 16 with huge wheel / tires. The 6.2 is 18 and Ford's 3.5 Ecoboost with more torque and respectable HP comes in at 21 in its most advantageous configuration. Ford has all aluminum. Ford has 5 engine choices counting Raptor and soon to be six. I'm not saying Ford has all the answers, or that they are necessarily going the best way forward, but no one else seems to have any answers or wants to move forward. I'd like to see different companies go different directions. GM has offered a version of the 5.3L V8 with eAssist and that's great. Sort of an electric assist option. Not more expensive than a diesel engine; probably less. It increases mpg 2 in the city and highway compared to the regular 5.3; but what's not great is that they allow customers to have it only in the crew cab, starting only at the LT trim, meaning the cheapest fuel-saving-technology GM 1/2-ton truck one can own starts at $44,175 up against a starting Silverado/Sierra price of around $28K. What else is GM trying to pull off? In the mid-size segment, they went through great lengths to bring in an affordable diesel. It's four cylinders...that should save money...it's cast iron block; that should definitely save costs; they brought back solenoid injectors that can now meet emission requirements...much cheaper than piezo injectors; they also brought an in house engine. That should have allowed a $5K diesel choice for all trim and configurations in a mid-sized truck. That would have been cool for those that like that sort of thing, but what do they do with all that cost savings. They allow a customer to have the honor of owning one for only $15,000 more than a base Colorado or Canyon [sarcasm]. Starting price for a 181 hp 4 cylinder diesel...wait for it...$36,000. You can get a Colorado for under $21K.

Toyota has done well with the new Tacoma, but the Tundra is becoming obsolete for all but the diehards.

Toyota has to do something about the Tundra gas mileage. Also needs a facelift

I’m a 3 time US Marine war veteran, I would do anything in this world to have and die in a Toyota Tundra, why you ask? This is why, during my 2nd war 1996 war in Iraq I was shot at numerous times by enemy hitting me once on my leg, as I seen a Toyota Tundra on the road and trying to get away from the Taliban, this nice man grabbed me and put me in his Toyota Tundra and took me to my base, as we were trying to get out of town we were engaged on from enemy rounds as it hit the truck many times around the engine and back of the truck which never stopped or broke down, as I was shooting back from the back of the truck, the truck was so tough that the bullets from enemy fire couldn’t even penetrate through the truck.
I was saved many times because of the Toyota Tundra and after hearing many Fellow Iraqi army friends, Toyota Tundra is a truck they could trust after never noticing no other trucks in Iraq such as the ford or Chevy or Dodge and even the GMC truck which never seen or used anywhere there, and this is why !!! They are very dependable and never break down in the middle of the desert anywhere and they can take many rounds of Enemy artillery that hit the truck and the truck kept on going, even the engine was shot at many many times,,, I owe Toyota my life for saving mine in order for me to now have my beautiful children who Kaylee is 7 yrs old and my son Kiko is 8 yrs old .
I now have 2 Purple Hearts for saving 3 families and my captain from enemy fire and I would love to donate my Purple Hearts to Toyota Tundra.
This will prove to the world that Toyota Tundra and Tacoma’s are the best of the best with NO doubts in the world , if you could drive pass any use car dealership in this country, you will NEVER ever see a used Toyota Tundra anywhere guaranteed !! Because many people DONT ever want to trade them in, you will see many other trucks in a dealership parking lot but never a Toyota tundra and that’s your proof right there .
I’m 50 yrs old now and my dream truck which I know I will never own cause they are too expensive for my wallet is a brown with orange leather interior fully loaded 4 door Toyota Tundra limited truck ,,, I cry every time I see one on the street and my kids tell me it’s ok dad God will give you that truck one day and I cry every time my kids tell me that.
People Toyota Tundra is the best dependable outlasting truck in the world today.
I would even do a commercial for Toyota Tundra as a war vet just so the world Would know how a war veteran would die and wanted to be Barried in my Toyota Tundra when I die. Since this truck saved my life

Every day I can only wish that I had a Toyota Tundra, I’m 50 yrs old now and I’m depleting very slowly day by day and as a 3 time war veteran that has been shot 9 times out of 3 wars, I still pray and dream of having my own Toyota Tundra
