SAIS Problems

Like many of you, I experienced the premature SAIS failure (85,000 miles) that, apparently due to moisture, causes the port to remain open and thus induces the fault code and subsequent limp mode. After having the first one replaced by Toyota under the extended warranty issued for this part, I had the new one fail again in less than 1.5 years. Got the brush off from Toyota on this one as it falls just outside of the warranty parameters this time. Have for a few days now, endured a protracted startup procedure of; stating the vehicle and allowing it to warm up past the point of when the pump is supposed to close then disconnecting the battery to clear the fault code and restarting with copious revving of the engine which somehow manages to force the port closed after numerous attempts. I’d have to be pretty daft to pay what they are asking to have this BS part replaced for a second time. So, I ordered the plug and play bypass kit from Hewitt Technologies for $259 and my problem is solved. No BS part and no BS startup procedure. Don’t waste your money having Toyota replace a part that is doomed to fail anyway!

Best I've owned

I've had this truck for two years without a problem. I have the TRD off road version, drive the California freeways regularly and can't complain about the ride. It's stiff, but it's a truck. The 4.7 engine will run with anything although I would like the 5.7 just because I like like power. On trips to Colorado and Arizona I've averaged 19 mpg. This is with a 4:10 rear gear and mountains. I'd buy another. Most reliable I've had.

I've driven my Tundra thousands of miles, towed a trailer across the US, and generally been very happy with this truck. I would definitely buy it again. This review is actually for the 5.7 V8 engine, not the 4.7L engine. Lots of torque, good pulling power. The 2007 truck as well as its later brothers excels at pulling, but has a wimpy payload compared to other 1/2 ton trucks. If you want to mount a camper in the bed, you'll need to beef up the springs and rear suspension with an after-market supplier. Comfort and amenities in the 2007 were good -- nothing spectacular. The brake controller and rearview camera were add-ons, something that Toyota has now addressed in the new models, but essential if you plan to tow anything larger than a small fishing boat. Adjustable drivers seat and heating/cooling system work admirably well. When I traded this truck, it was still in great condition, and had no mechanical issues.

I have a 2007 Tundra, their is a Technical Service Bulletin (T-SB-0101_12 they know these trucks rust in particular areas. Regardless of age they know it rusts faster than normal. I have had topper on my truck as long as I had it and it rusted from bottom to bed surface. I am not talking about small areas but large areas 4-6" circles with. Very very sad!

Leased Tundra

I have driven this truck for 2.5 years and have clocked 40000 miles. The gas mileage has been very good and has averaged 17 mpg in city driving. This truck has hauled 2400 pounds of concrete bags with great ease, and towed my tractor nicely. It does wear front tires on the outside edge, but I have gotten 40K miles out of the tires. The 5 speed transmission is very well matched to the 4.7 V-8, and quickly moves this truck in all situations. Highway stability isn't quite as stable as I would like, but isn't a major concern. I have had no gas pedal issues. I would buy another Tundra, it's great gas mileage makes it an obvious choice over smaller trucks with same gas mileage. Great Buy!
