    I traded in my 2014 Tundra CrewMax SR5 in March for a 2020 Trail Boss 5.3L. I loved the Trail Boss for its features and fuel economy, but it started having issues requiring service at nine months and 4700 miles. It actually died a few days after the first service, throwing up several warning with a check engine light and refusing to start. While my wife contacted the auto club, I kept trying to start it, because I KNEW the codes if was throwing up (such as Battery Low, Brake System Failure, etc.) were just wrong. I got it started before a tow was requested, so we drove to the dealer immediately. After a mysterious software update (unavailable during first service) and bleeding of the brakes, I sold it to a dealer. I used my equity from the sale (Tundra trade-in was very good) to buy a 2021 Tundra Double Cab. I know Andre's Trail Boss has been reliable for him, but mine started having problems no truck should have in the first year of ownership with less that 5,000 miles should have, especially since it was only used around town. I loved the look of the Trail Boss, but the lack of reliability ruined the experience for me. Toyota for life.

    The fact that Tundra did better than the NEW Trail Boss says a lot about Toyota’s engineering. Tundra gets looked down by most people but Tundra owners know that there is something special about that truck.
    I have a 2009 Tundra with 237,000 miles on it. I pull a 16ft enclosed double axle trailer loaded with landscape equipment (7,000 lb) pretty much everyday. Solid as a rock.

      My Tundra gets anywhere from 15 to 17 mpg depending on how much I put my foot into it but I will gladly trade a few MPG's for the reliability I get with it. I know folks with Ecoboost F150's that don't do any better, they for sure have more power but Turbo's aren't cheap when they go. The GM trucks are definitely the most fuel efficient and my father's 2014 silverado averages 17 to 18 and he paw paw's it around, he will eventually run into problems with the AFM and when that happens it will not be cheap, I am glad to have that peace of mind.

      @@shitloveaduck wierd, the two million mile tundras were loaded and towed over their rated capacity, one lost reverse at 760,000 miles and they just fixed the reverse, didnt even rebuild the transmission. The other had a flutter in third gear at 780,000 miles, all it needed was a filter change but the owner went ahead and rebuilt it. Those Aisin transmissions are very stout. I'm willing to bet you had a blockage in the transmission cooler. We had a jeep with a bad transmission and we replaced it. Couple weeks later it came back, I checked the lines with the shop air and it was completely blocked. Replaced the radiator and rebuilt the trans and it was fine after that. None of my dads 2013 tundras have had any issues. We had some where inworked in the oilfield and despite the big 3 worshippers dogging the hell out of them because they hated foreign automakers, they were the only trucks that never had a single break down at all.

      Yes the drivers drove them totally differently. Tommy was breaking and gasing at the same time and Andre was just hitting the gas. TFL hates the rear locker and always wants to magnify the issue. If you know how to drive off road it’s never a problem and works very well.
      I have a 19 trail boss with 30,000 miles on it and I have spent a lot of time off road and it performs extremely well. Absolutely would buy another one and feel it’s the best value for the money.
