Toyota Tundra Thoughts?

[LX470]

Anyone had good/bad experience with one/more?

I presently have a 2016 F-150 (zero issues) and am looking around right now.

The resale on these, like the Tacoma, is crazy.

I don't think you can go wrong if it's something in your budget I would definitely look at it over the F-150 I recently just got a brand-new Tacoma and I'm very pleased with it

This is me, x2. Mine is a 2016 I got late 2015 and it replaced a 2013 Tacoma. Love the current gen Tundra.

After about a decade with a 5.9 CTD 3500 (SRW) with MT, THEN my wife decided we should get a camper. It is only a 2300lb hard-side pop-up, but the Tacoma can pull it - highest I've done is Berthoud so far. I don't love towing with it, but I love driving the truck in town, and I don't love towing period. I dumped the CTD b/c new baby and my wife didn't love a 1 ton with MT. I do love that the Tacoma would fit anywhere. Since then, have added a 16 4Runner and 12 FJ.

Problem is while I love the current gen Tundra, it really would have all the same parking problems as the CTD. I couldn't fit it in my garage at work. If I were really going to do it, at this point with the young one, I'd actually do the Sequoia, make my wife drive that, and probably take her 4Runner, or more likely dump the FJ and DD the Tacoma/4Runner.

Cliffs notes: How often and how much are you going to pull?

After doing lots of research on the motor and knowing three different people with one, this will be my next truck. I have never owned any Toyota. But I am very impressed with this truck.

Another truck I am planning on checking out is the Nissan Titan when they put the diesel in it. I still don't think it is as tough and rugged and reliable as a Tundra but willing to give it a look.

They already did. I've seen a few around town.

Are you towing or planning on an in-bed camper?

Toyota's kick ass I have owned them, have one and will continue to buy Toyota. That said the Tundra looks very big, but is a 1/2 ton truck. If you will need to pull or carry a lot of weight, you may want a 3/4 or one ton truck. If you don't I would not hesitate to buy a Tundra.

Someone explain to me how a 1600lb payload ISN'T a 3/4 ton...

This infomation comes from 2 guys I trust and have know for years (1 for decades) both are Toyota Master mechanics and own Toyota shops. Both own RV's. I listen to them and they work on my Toyota's. I am not a truck expert, but I did stay in a Budget Express Inn last weekend

If I recall correctly this is just a dinosaur term leftover from the early days of rating truck payloads. They aren't accurate any longer...just traditional ratings.

If you look up payloads for a typical 3/4 ton truck (say an F-250) you're gonna see they're over twice what is listed for the Tundra. Example: F-250 4x2 Reg Cab 141.5 wheelbase has a payload rating of 4150 pounds. Not to mention the tow rating will be almost twice as much as well.

Well, that explains it. It doesn't make any sense, but it answered my question. Thank you.
