I have an 07 Tundra with 175,000 miles on it. I love the truck. I love that it tows our travel trailer great. It never breaks, though I did have to have the starter replaced at about 170,000 miles. And one tail light went out. That’s it in repair in 14 years.

Not the best ride or mileage, and kind of basic compared to what new trucks offer, but I am very happy with the truck. It’s just bulletproof.

Still wondering if I should get a 2021 Tundra with the V8 or the 2022 with the turbo V6.

My brother had a Tundra for 5 or 6 years, then went to Chevy. Says he’s going back to Tundra.

603, how much did a new starter set you back? I hear they are spendy for the toyotas.

It was expensive. If memory is correct, it was about $1500. That said, having a Tundra and a Lexus, which rarely break, I don’t know what repair costs run these days. When I had that BMW, I was on a first name basis with the service manager, and they got a lot of my money, but it isn’t that way with the Tundra. When I went straight from BMW 5 Series to the Tundra, I was uneasy that nothing ever seemed to need to be done on the Tundra. It felt wrong. Surely something needed to be done. But no...Months passed and years passed and still no work was needed. After that BMW experience, it was a huge change. I did love the beemer though.

Once a year, in the Spring, prior to towing season, I take the truck to the dealership for a bumper to bumper check. This year, as in the past, all fluids were changed out. Everything else was fine. The tailgate damper has sort of given it up, so I have to use two hands to put the tailgate back up, or replace the damper. I guess that’s some sort of failure if I was being real picky.

I will buy another one when I feel the urge. I do hope the increase in Tundra electronics in 2022 (over my 2007) won’t cause problems, however minor.

Same here except my 07 Tundra has 325k and counting. Are the other brands really cheaper if you have to buy twice as many?

I drive and love my 13 Tundra but they have needed a major update for a few years. I have no doubt that what Toyota comes out with will be solid. I am actually looking forward to the V6 twin turbo as I am a fan of the 3.5 ecoboost however I hope they keep the 5.7 but bring it up to date.

Everything I am reading says the 4.6 and 5.7 are gone. It looks like choices will be the V6 tin turbo, likely out of the LS50 and a hybrid offering.

People don't buy the current Tundra for the latest and greatest. They buy them (including me) because they are the most reliable on the road and in spite of a couple MPG penalty are rated the lowest cost to own over a five year period.

Looking for some comparison information. I have 2 Tundras (2007 and 2010). I'm a 58 year old man with high mileage. I don't really have a problem with the ride but I do have a problem with the seats. I have the bench 60/40 split. I can't hardly walk after a three hour trip. Same in Fords of different year models. But a Chevy and Gmc Denali seats leave me feeling much better after a long ride. Car makers seen to think comfort mean all the BS features they put in a truck, comfort to me means how I feel after going on a long ride.
Anyone ever see rankings of comfort of seats in pickups. Can't very well determine much on 10 minute test drives.
Just asking.
Thanks

I will definitely consider a toyota turbo 6. If they are stuck with the N/A v8's they cannot compete in economy or power with the turbo offerings and I wont consider one.

I know motor trend and many rave over toyota reliability, but from my experience it just isnt so different for all of them. Up until last year or so we had 3 GM vehicles with well north of 200,000 miles on each that were all very reliable vehicles with no major issues at all. I havent put a starter on a vehicle since my 1994 chevy which got a starter at like 250,000 miles that i changed in 15 minutes for under $100.

I currently own a cursed RAM 1500 diesel and other than a plugged up DPF which was caused most likely by a tuning issue in the most recent EPA forced computer flash for the emissions systems I have had great luck with it. In 100,300 miles I have had to replace a radiator cap and that is it, not even a fuse or light bulb. Hopefully some new after market tuning will arrive at my door next monday and it will be even better.

New rumor. They have found a recent patent for V8 Twin Turbo by Toyota. That would make some headlines.

I agree whole heartedly about the " Toyota is so reliable...." Kool-aid. All truck makers have vehicles that can typically run north of 200k without any malfunction especially a major one and just routine maintenance and the majority of those can do it being ridden hard and put up wet. I'm comparing apples to apples not a 1994 Ram vs. a 94 Tacoma but Since Toyota started making the Tundra in a full size in 2008 to current.

Toyota, Ford and GM are all pretty reliable from what I've seen.

Who’s gonna be in line for the Ford Lightning. All electric, castrated, and little green plants that grow in the display. It probably comes with a hobby lobby discount card.

Kind of a slap in the face to Lightning lovers out there. Hope its fast.

Have to admit, the name is fitting.

It’s not the same.

I owned the Road And Track Lightning that was loaned to them through Doug Stanley Ford. It was a blast to drive, looked and SOUNDED like a hotrod truck. Also have owned several Mustangs of various years.

To know that a Mustang is an electric suv and a lightning is an electric grocery getter is disturbing.
