Toyota Tundra

Price Paid:  $33000.00 from Courtesy Toyota

Year / Model Reviewed:
2009 Tundra/Regular Cab

Strengths:
Ride, towing

Weaknesses:
When it is cold the door seals get stiff and the doors close hard.

Summary:
I am a contractor and I have always owned 3/4 ton Ford's or Chevy's. I wanted to try a Tundra because of the dependability. I have 9000 miles so far and I like the truck pretty well. My ford had a better fit and finish. My Chevy's had many mechanical problems. So far its better than Chevy and about equal to Ford. I will comment in another 11000 miles after I have worked it a bit. I tow heavy items and so far its the best I have used.

2009 double cab long box 4x4

Strengths:
interior space
amazing power ( I snapped a 10,000 lb tow strap pullin rocks, got a bigger strap and moved those rocks )

Weaknesses:
At my age I need the running boards

Summary:
After many years of driving trucks from the big three, I decided to go for quality and durability and went toyota. I have an 07 corolla and friends with older corollas and there fantastic. the interior space of the double cab is years beyond the competitors, the box is an accessable height even with 4x4 and I m only 5'8". As a contractor the interior ergonomics are a blessing not to mention the turning radius.

2008 Double Cab

Strengths:
Power, fuel economy, quality, speed, smooth ride, fit and finish, power equipment - everything about the truck.

Weaknesses:
None at all

Summary:
This is the best truck I have ever owned. This ride is exceptional, the quality is far better than any american made junk. I have owned Chevy and Ford and both of those trucks gave me major problems like motor replacement and drive axle replacement. If you are looking for the best truck ever made - do not hesitate and buy a Toyota.

2008 Toyota Tundra CrewMax Ltd TRD 4x4

Strengths:
Backup camera option for hitching trailers
Limousine style sliding rear window
Interior storage capacity
Reclining rear seat
TRD has better ride over rough terrain than F150 Supercrew 4x4, eats up potholes etc.

Weaknesses:
Bouncy ride at highway speeds compared to F150 fully boxed frame. Still working with dealership to see if there is a way to soften dampening rates or something. Very noticeable at 60 to 70mph if you have been driving a Ford for many years.
Poor tire choices, surprised most options are street tires for a truck
No keypad/keyless entry
Navigation/Satellite/Stereo a notch down from Ford
Interior has a bit too much of a plasticy feel
Not quite as good vision behind

Summary:
After having four F150s over the past 12 years, I bought a 4x4 CrewMax TRD with Limited Trim. Half of it was I wanted something different, other half is I wanted more power than the F150 to tow a large boat. The major differences from the F150s that I see is the Toyota has much better acceleration at all speeds, less road noise, better brakes, more interior storage space (except under back seat), tighter interior construction and other strengths listed below.
