I worked as a Fixed Operations Director for Ford Dealers twenty years. Repairing the F-150 was a major part of our operation. When I retired, I worked at the Toyota plant where the Tundra is built. When I bought a new truck, I chose the Tundra because I watched the quality attention that Toyota put into every unit. No comparison in my opinion.

Go for a Chevy, Dodge or Ford. After owning those, you will truly understand why people buy Toyotas. At the end of the day the most important thing people care is the way truck rides and if it rides with no problems. Those toys that other manufacturers put inside their cars to attract buyers, you gonna use those once or twice to show off in front of your friends and neighbors after the purchase. The most important is how the truck drives, how reliable it is, if maintenance cost is relatively low and if it's gonna retain its value after some time. This Tundra wins in every category. At least as for me the more stuff the more new technology they put in the vehicle, the less reliable it turns out to be. That's the nature of things. And for those who complains about fuel efficiency, I would rather pay extra at the pump than at the repair shop and Uber drivers. And you are lucky if you got a good mechanic who knows how to do it correctly while in many cases they do sloppy job like forgetting to put new washers on drain plugs, let they old oil finish dripping completely before putting drain plug and clean the air filter housing before installing new air filter. I am so pissed off with the quality of their work these days that I try to do myself as much as I can in my vehicles to make sure everything is done properly.

All I have done is the scheduled maintenance and it has yet to need a repair. It didn't have a back up cam. It had the most basic stereo. It doesn't even have a digital thermometer like most vehicles do. It has fabric seats. Personally, I can give a sh!t about all that. I have piece of mind knowing I can take my truck to New York and back without any issues and that's what I love about Toyota and that's exactly what I want out of the Tundra ill be buying in the future. I've been looking at all kinds of used trucks and yeah there are other brands with more bells and whistles but that's just not my style. To each his own is all I'm saying. Just took me long to say it lol Lastly, I do agree that any vehicle is reliable as long as you take care of it but I am sure that you will see many more Toyota trucks In the million mile range than any other maker.

I agree, any car can last forever when you take care of it, but the question is how much time, effort and money you’re going to have to spend to maintain the vehicle especially when it reaches six figure miles. Thats one of the reasons why people buy a new vehicle instead of maintaining one because they end up spending less buying a new one. I guess thats where the charm of Toyota is coming from. In the end it just depends on what aspects of the vehicle you prioritize or what fits your needs.

WOW! I just sat here and read most of the comments and all's I can say is WOW! I have owned all the big three trucks and personally I love GMC but there quality has really gone down hill. So when I retired about a year ago I treated myself to a ford Raptor. At 11,000 miles the cam phasers started going bad. Under warranty they were going to replace them with the same defective ones they were pulling out, go figure. So I said don't bother and I dumped it. Since my wife and were going to start traveling I researched the hell out of trucks and bought a 2021 V8 last of the Mohicans 1794 TRD Off Road with every factory option. Granted its a little dated I will admit that. But after several trips I am very impressed with how smooth, quit, and powerful it drives. I added a TRD rear sway bar and it really improved the body roll. I will leave anyone looking for a truly great truck this advice. The feeling I get when I jump in that truck to take a long trip is. I know she will bring me home. The reliability on these trucks is legendary and there is no amount of money that can give me that piece of mind when your taking a 2000 mile trip. I have been all over the Smoky mountains and it handles great power to spare. If you seriously looking for a great truck that will operate with standard maintenance you cant go wrong with the 2nd gen Tundra.

Can't say I agree that any vehicle that is properly taken care of will last you. I have a Chevy sitting in my driveway that begs to differ. That being said, taking care of things helps... but all machines are certainly not created equal. Now truck-wise, I find that to get any reasonable longevity out of the newer model years (post 2010), you almost have to go to a 3/4 ton truck. Mechanically speaking, outside of the Tundra, the half tons seem to hit 150k miles and start falling apart. My 95 Silverado K1500 seems to run better than the 2010+ models of similar mileage. Regarding the cost, none of the 1/2 ton trucks are worth the house prices they want for them. However, if I'm spending that kind of money, I at least want it to work.

The Toyota Tundra is not overrated. It’s acclaim is because of its dependability. That’s it’s appeal. Are there shiner more technological trucks. Sure but they don’t have the dependability of the Tundra. You don’t value that as much. So it’s not the truck for you. You want to have a new truck every 3 years or so. So I get it. I’m still driving my 2008 Tundra in 2023 300K miles and only replaced the radiator. 0 mechanical issues other that that. That’s why people buy Toyotas

A first gen or second gen Tundra will bleed you dry if you drive a lot. 5 mpg difference vs other trucks over 200 or 300k miles adds up. I figured up $26,000 for the first gen tundra with timing belt changes after 300k. That's a lot of money for people. Especially those running businesses with multiple vehicles. I see a lot of folks saying reliability is the number one thing they look for. Its cost of ownership that is the number one thing to a lot of people.

Not all trucks are built the same and not all companies build the same quality. There's +4 tundras on KZitem with over a million miles. Toyotas last at least 25 years. And yes there's owners out there that has had it for over 20 years. When Toyota tore down the million mile engine, they said it was good for another million. Over engineered. There's also a tundra on KZitem hauling an 18 wheeler on the freeway. And a stock tundra won Baja 1000 years ago.

They lose less value after the warranty is up because there’s so much more life left in the truck. If I wanted comfort, tech, and features, I’d be in a Lexus, not a truck. A truck is a utilitarian tool, and you have the most dependable tool available.

So in 2017 Ford was offering 0% interest and I traded it on a 17 f150 Lariat brand new.. I got $30k even trade in from the Tundra.. so it did hold its value, but it was so outdated compared to the Ford.. I just sold the Ford for $38,500 and bought a zl1 camaro.. Im done daily driving expensive trucks, I have a 2002 GMC sierra with 210k miles and its my beater truck, and the camaro is the fun ride.. Beats having two trucks..

The tundra isn’t for everyone. If you want bells and whistles and great aftermarket modifications/customizations then the American brands got your back. If you want something that will least likely to break down on you and decrease your trips to the shops, then the Tundra got your back. People that should buy the tundras are those that ACTUALLY need the usability of a truck and plan to keep them for 10+ years. Edit: hopefully you won’t go for the new Tundras until they kink out the issues with the turbos.

Yup, I get it. But for the past 12 year's my Tundra Pro took a beating and pulled our six thousand lb RV all over hell and back in the wilderness WITH NO problems at all and still runs fast today. Last month I BOUGHT A NEW 1794 Tundra because I'm retiering and going to RV around America and need the most reliable truck I can find. I could have bought a 3/4 ton, but it wouldn't be more dependable as a Toyota... the history proves this over and over again each year. I can't wait fourteen years for truck history to change and I don't want any problems out camping in the mountains or in the scorching desert heat going forward... I also-ran that I payed to much for my 2020 1794 Tundra, but I still trust Toyota over any other manufacturer today.Yes, Lot's of trucks look better and or are rated higher than the old Tundra 4x4 but what good is that when your stuck in the wilderness and can't get out.... lol. Thanks for sharing on such an important topic, buying a truck is a lot of money in today's world.

If you wanted upgraded trim packages you should have done that. Don’t bash the truck because it doesn’t have the extras you wanted when you were the one that chose to buy it. Everyone knows you don’t buy a Tundra for the fancy upgrades, you buy it because they are the most dependable trucks on the market. I have a 2014, 1794 with 80k miles and haven’t had one issue with it. Everyone I know who has a Ford or a Chevy has had to have at least one major component replaced with the same miles. I’m not planning on selling my truck anytime soon but when I do I’ll get a heck of a lot more for it than an f-150 or a Silverado. Good luck.

To be honest with you I could have fixed the problems that it had which were all electronic but I really wanted a new Tundra. I opted for the 2020 because I wanted the naturally aspirated V8 and I have been nothing but happy. Yes it is bad on gas, yes, it’s not as full of new gadgets as other brands.

I’ve never been a Ford person. I’ve always been a GMC truck person. Just two weeks ago. I traded in my beautiful 2018 sierra, SLT with a 6.2 L an eight speed transmission. I love that truck. It has its little issues like any other vehicle. But the problem is is the eight speed transmissions will not hold up. Mine started going out. I traded it in on a 2020 tundra 1794 edition. it has the most features of the tundras. Yes some of the interior and electronics are a little dated. But I made the switch because I need dependability. I did lots of research before making this decision. If I were people I would stay away from the Gmc‘s with the eight and 10 speed transmissions. Also the active fuel management will cause Val damage in a lot of vehicles. All this is my opinion and my experience.
