I am on my second Tundra. My 2013 went just under 100K miles, without a single problem. Sure, it is an old design, but it is built like a tank. I pulls and hauls without effort. If you want a solid, trouble free truck to drive, this is the one to buy.

I keep my cars, as my 1998 Chevy Pickup...up to 25 years. Back then Chevy made a good truck. I would not touch one today. I don't chase MPG as i note the multi speed transmission and very small turbo engines are false economics for long term owners. Those who lease, do what you want. Ethanol gas is here to stay. If you don't know the downside of ethanol in gas, by now, then you are someone who is clueless as to carbon build up and repairs down the road that will be far more fixing those tiny turbo charged engines and multi speed s transmissions that literally shift themselves to death as they hunt for the gear that increases efficiency for peanuts or a small % gain in MPG. A 10 speed tranny rebuild can be up to $10,000. I don't need an overly complicated transmissions and who builds a 10 speed that holds up? Maybe Allison can, but I'll give them 7 years to get it right. I went with the old school 2021 Tundra from the school of ' if you want more power - get a bigger engine versus over heating it with twin turbos. The 2022 Tundra (all new truck to roll out) had to conform to EPA mandates . Tiny V-6 twin Turbo engine and 10 speed engine. Good luck with that. I don't blame Toyota, it's just EPA mandates if you want to sell a car in this country. I know little about clean air, so I won't comment other than the all new Tundra was not all a Toyota decision to think large pickups hauling heavy loads should do it with a tiny V-6 straining away under 2 turbo chargers. Sound sexy, but do you really think it will hold up better than a large V-8 with no turbo? I do think the math says there won't be same luck you get with a V-8 mated to a 6 speed. i sprinted to the dealership when I saw what was the last of the V-8 , 6 speed Tundras. I did not even bother to test drive the all new tiny V-6 , twin turbo , 10 speed. I'm sure while new owners will love them, but i keep vehicles for a long time. The 2021 has had updates for many years as all new editions of a new generation have bugs to be discovered over the years. I note my edition of a Tundra went from 2001 to 2021. Many years of getting bugs out. 2014 to make major upgrades. It is a fact of life with every auto maker when he comes out with the all new model. So yes, I get slightly less MPG with the big V-8 and 6 speed, but many years of improvements and upgrades from 2007 to 2021. The mapping of shift points on the 6 speed ATM to the ECM seem to read my mind. I think that was changed in 2020. There have been only 2 occasions where this truck shifted where I probably would have not. The other 99.9% of the time shift points seem to read my mind versus a 10 speed which leaves that driver wondering if the 10 speed tranny is confused or not. In short, the V-8 and 6 speed are as close to bullet proof one gets today. I'm good with filling the tank 10 more times over a year if it keeps me out of the shop. How many times do you get a repair done for under $1000 these days? How nuts has chasing MPG gotten? Price a rebuild on your 10 speed transmission before you buy. Some , like the CVT are not rebuilt. Too complicated. My friend got a used one from a junk yard when his new CVT tranny broke under warranty and for that vehicle a new CVT was $10,000. So he drove home in his relatively new car with a junk yard transmission with how many miles on it? That information was not available. Warranties are more complicated than the transmission. Oh yes, ' Control Modules' are next. New cars can have anywhere from 70 to 90 of them. Think of them as circuit boards hidden all over a new car . Those boards control many things - right on down to your lights dimming and then going out after you lock the car. On a German car the Transmission Control Module can cost $5,000. The one for your brakes....$800. $800 is actually cheap compared to other ones. These little nightmares are everywhere now. some under your floor mats. So when your Sun roof ' rain drainage channels' clog up over the years...the water goes down your A-pillar to under your floor mats. You won't know until things start to going wrong. One person bought a Tundra from an auction fairly cheap. Why? Previous owner left it on the beech. The tide rolled in while he was asleep or drunk. Salt water just above the rear tail lights. So if you were sitting in the Tundra the salt water would almost reach your chest. This would be a disaster for most cars and their control modules. This Tundra still drives today. Why or how could this be? Well Toyota knows its \trucks will probably be taken off road and in less than ideal situations. The way they ' enclose ' and water proof their expensive control modules ...even from salt water.....works. So yes, make fun of my MPG, as I drive past the repair shop less frequently than others. I'm not saying the Tundra is perfect. I'm just saying Toyoto has its flaws, but far less than others. If you think about it, the Tundra from 2007 to 2021 is way up there as the biggest and toughest beast they make and compared to a Prius .....well, who do you think wins in a collision? I'll let you figure that one out. Blair

Love this beast, but 13 mpg does suck. But I bought it for the longevity and reliability. Wish it had an inverter for 110

This truck is such a beast. Not thrilled that the gas mileage is less than optimal, but the room in the Tundra is fantastic. I would like to have automatic windows for the front, but that is just on the wish list. Overall, this is a fabulous truck!
