I bought my new '19 Tundra
I bought my new '19 Tundra 1794 just last July (7/20). The Tundra, might be to some, an anachronism in today's truck market, but that is the very reason I bought it. I have no use for all of new doo-dads and latest gizmos that the Big 3 (and even Nissan's small play) have added to their truck lines. However, for me, it's all about the entirety of the experience.
Yes, the gas mileage of our 5.7s is bad. HP/TQ, towing and load capacity are no longer class leading, but for the vast majority of all truck owners, regardless of brand, the Tundras meet and exceed their abilities all the time.
Some of the things I love - The proven, venerable drivetrain (especially the sound of that 5.7 with my TRD PRO dual exhaust!), looks, the way it feels behind the wheel, the look and smell of the interior with the great 1794, outward visibility, the HD frame and just generally the heft of the truck.
Really, my only complaint is the JBL "Premium' stereo. I did find that if you max the bass and treble and scoop the mids, it helps a lot. I can even hear the sub on certain tracks! Lol
While I don't hear of too many catastrophic failures of any of the brands, you hear of all sorts of irritating troubles related to the electronics. The current gen Tundras don't have all of fancy equipment, but you can't deny the durability of them.
I'm glad I got in while the 5.7 is still in existence. That's what I want in a truck.
