I'm excited I'm about to buy me first Tundra crew max 4x4 not sure the year something under 100kmiles and under $30k I think the tundra is the best truck out and very strong can get a ton of miles over 300k easy see a bunch high miles can't wait to get mine 😊😊
Just got a 2013 Toyota tundra and love it. I got it for 22k with 64k miles on it original everything. My first truck 5.7L V8… BEAST. I plan on babying it and making it last a long time.
@@jasonsingh2695 I’m hoping man. It had one owner prior to me, an elderly man. Records showed he had maintenance done on time every time. So far so good with it.
the bed size is my biggest complaint on my 13 CM. even though it'd be huge, id love to get the Double cab w/long bed frame to swap under my cab, and go for the regular DC bed. may or may not be possible, but i thought a company was making them at one point...
I have a 2007 Tundra Limited 5.7L 4x4 double cab, bought it new and it is still going strong with 150,000 miles on the clock. Best truck I have ever had. I do all my own maintenance and the engine is still in great shape.
150,000 is barely anything. I own 7 Toyotas right now and 6 of them were purchased with 200k which is nothing. I won't be too impressed until they get beyond 400k and wouldn't be surprised if they go 500-750 k. (I would accept that as a win) Some have hit a million.
14-21 is my favorite generation. I own a 21' TRD Sport Premium, 5.7L 4x4 and it is the best truck I've ever owned. Bought brand new, have around 55k on it, the truck is flawless, not 1 problem. Yeah the truck is a bit dated in tech, being as it is the last year of this gen, but that's what makes it special. I'm going to drive this truck until the wheels fall off.
Agree completely! I have the 2007 DC Limited 4WD with the 5.7 L and the TRD package. People come up to me all the time and start conversations about my truck (minimal mods including 2" lift and other little things, nothing huge), and they are floored it's a 2007! I currently have 257,000+ miles on it, and I plan on driving it a couple hundred thousand more. Bed vehicle I've ever owned! Thanks for the awesome video!
I absolutely agree, 07-14 was the best. I'm a proud owner of a silver 07 regular cab short bed 4x4 with the 4.7 only 50k miles. I have a 3' lift with nice aftermarket wheels and meaty tires. Also a Gibson dual exhaust that sound so good. This is the 2nd 07 Regular cab I've owned, the first one had the column shift while the second one has the console shift. In hindsight I prefer the column shifter, feels more roomy and is more oldschool unique by today's standards. One cool thing about the regular cab is the passenger seat folds down to make a flat surface also to access the space behind the seats which is huge for a regular cab. The seats can also recline very far back unlike the Big Three regular cabs, also how incredibly wide the doors are compared to all other Tundra configurations. The Regular cab short bed Tundra is a rare breed that I feel honored to drive. The looks and design really have stood the test of time, I constantly get compliments from random people.
Right on dude! I have an 07 regular cab short bed that i love, I use it for work and i keep it running good and clean. I'll keep it as long as i can. 340,000 miles on it
Interesting history of the Tundras. I really didn't pay them much mind while I drove a Taco for 15 years. I was looking for another Taco when I got talked into test driving a 20 Tundra Pro. It was love at first drive, and game changing for me. I'm still loving it.
Dude, I bet every salesman knows after driving the Tundra, it's irresistible, haha. At least back then. My '08 makes me smile every day at 118k miles.. I'm thinking of letting one of these programmers run through it, something stage 1ish..?
I drove a 2013 Tundra Doublecab 4x4 and put 300k miles on it, and then bought a 2021 Crewmax. There was a lot i missed about my 2013. Felt the 2013 had more power and the shifting was smoother and more consistent. Interior felt more robust and tougher. Fit and finish was better than my 21. I agree that the 2007-2013 were better trucks. Not saying my 21 isnt a great truck because i absolutely love my truck! I test drove a few 22 tundra and they feel like a rattly tin can. They feel cheap despite looking amazing interior wise.
I know this was about the 07-13 but my parents have a 2016 Tundra TSS 4x4 with all bells whistles on a 3 inch lift with big tires and I absolutely love it! Any time I visit I make an excuse to go run an errand just so I can drive it:)
I just purchased a 2011 Crew Max SR5, with the 5.7 engine. It has 205,000 miles on it and runs like new. I'm given it some TLC right now, but it's still in great shape. I really like Ford and Chevy, but they don't compare to the Tundra. I have a 2023 4Runner TRD PRO, which I really like, but there is something about driving the Tundra with the 5.7 V8 that's brings out the teenager in me, (i'm 64). Love the Tundra - it's the best. I'm on my 5th one and they were all great trucks.
A little late to the party but this vid rocks. Great overview on Tundra & your opinions on all the options, features, and little tics are 100% shared. '07 - '13 YES! Thank you.
I have a 2013 Toyota Tundra crew max with the 5.7 ltre engine and in the 7 years Ive owned it all i had to do is regular maintenance,oil , brakes, wipers and tires. Best most reliable truck i ever owned and i owned fords chevys and GMCs.
Stumbling around you tube looking for Best seat covers for my 2019 dbl cab and came across this video, and I must say I watched allot of your videos back when I first got my Tundra , and now@ 98k miles watching this video, I just want to say thank you for the Tundra enthusiasm in all the you do and all that you have done for the Tundra community.
Thanks for recognizing those of us still driving the Gen 2’s. I still absolutely love my 12 Platinum. And to hear you point out so many features on this generation that I know I love was just really cool. Thanks man
Lmfao. What features? It’s a damn tundra outdated 🤣😂. Don’t give me that dependable bs like y’all always do go get them numbers vs other brands and come back and post how reliable the Tundra is DONT come back and say Toyota but tundra. FYI 200000 miles on my Silverado and 116000 on my 2019 ram zero issues would you say that’s dependable
Hey Mark. William here in Charlottesville, Va. I still have my Nautical-Blue, Double cab, SR5 2013 Tundra and in my opinion it’s the best truck I’ve ever owned. I still absolutely love it! It’s a 2013 and I still only have 56,870 ORIGINAL miles! It’s garage-kept and I’m excellent condition. I drive my old 1994 Toyota pick-up as my daily driver so that’s why I’ve been able to keep the mileage down.
I got my 07 double cab 2 wheel drive, brand new. 5.7. Sttill rolling today at 325k miles. Oil change every 5k. Very few issues over the years. Getting 17mpg today, and rides great.
The technology of the new 22' tundra is really great, but you can change the inside all you want. The heart of the "older" beasts won't die. Being a first time owner of a 21' 1794 is an AWESOME experience but also satisfying in the fact that I purchased one of the best and last of the 5.7 V8 engines that won't die, unlike the new generation, but that's just my ¢3. And I'm not hating on the new generation owners, in fact I congratulate them and hope they get everything they need and hope for in a TUNDRA. ....... 5.7 LITER V8 FOREVER 🤗
I just bought a 2011 Tundra TRD Limited 4x4 with 68,000 miles for $22,000. Awesome truck with everything. Heated seats, pivoting headlights, collision avoidance, back up camera, navigation, power rear window, power adjustable seats with lumbar and leg height adjustment. Has the 5.7 liter v8 with the bulletproof 6 speed transmission. Immaculate condition. After 3 months I'm already in love with this truck!
I have a 2013 DC SR5 two wheel drive with a 4.6. No rust, southern truck bone stock and excellent condition with only 88K miles. It’s a great truck and I’m lucky to own it.
The second gen was great, but I think the 2.5 gen (specifically the '14 to '17) tundra was the best (no TSS nanny warnings). I love my '18 SR5 DC, but I wish I had been in the market a year earlier.
I went to Denver from Erie Pa to pick up a high mileage 213,000 , 2007 Tundra CM. I wanted something that was rust free and you can't find that in Pa, Ohio or NY so I drove my rust bucket 2013 Silverado out there to trade it in. I paid 15,900 for my 2007 and I drove it home off the lot without a hiccup. I did a lot of things to the Tundra when I got it home, and it wasn't cheap to bring all the maintenance up to date but it was worth it. The truck runs and drives like new. I wouldn't hesitate to ever buy another high mileage Toyota. The things are bomb proof if you keep up with the maintenance....
TundraDude, thanks for the trip down memory lane. I’d prefer the column shifter that I had on my 2013 DC over the console setup I have now with current 2018 TRD DC. The fold down console in the split bench was plenty big enough. I felt great on long trips to be able to move right leg around.
I owned a 2011 double cab that I bought used in 2013 with 71K miles. Had it until it was totaled in an accident back in October. Blasted in an intersection, and it still started up an ran with no lights on the dash. Drove it home even with a smashed front end. Loved that truck. Definitely a tank. Bought the new gen 2022 SR5 to replace it. Loving it. Hopefully it lasts as long as the gen 2.
I liked your review, and might add, that I purchased a new 2007 Tundra Limited in early 2007. I still have it as my everyday truck. It had a lot of special features at the time. I was the first of my friends to get the new model Tundra, and after driving it, 3 of my friends went out and purchased the 4 door extended cab version for themselves. Now after 17 years we all still have the same truck. I believe mine is the lowest mileage at 88k, and I never intend to sell or trade. My son wants it when I eventually pass. I told him he would have to wait for awhile.
2008 CrewMax with 340K miles in Texas. My daughter forgot her phone. It may have saved three lives. The story: Two weeks ago, I had dropped my daughter off at her home in Austin, and drove 20 minutes toward my home. My daughter called from her mother's phone and said she left her phone in my truck. I turned around and went back and gave her phone to her. I then drove about 30 minutes and became involved in a four vehicle wreck. I was slowing for stopped traffic on the highway (a common occurrence anywhere near Austin), when a speeding F-250 behind me impacted me so hard, my seat collapsed. It launched my Tundra into the Toyota Yaris in front of me, and the car in front of it. Three people climbed out of the Yaris, which had my Tundra up to its rear window. They were checked out by first responders, and released. If my Tundra had not been there to absorb the impact of that F-250, those folks would not have walked away. I was able to drive my Tundra home, but I'm sure it is totaled. I wanted to drive this rig to 500K, but now I am looking for another. Maybe to save more lives.
I bought the '16 CM... if i had it to do over again, I would have picked up the double cab instead.. though its really not a huge deal either way. Truck is all I would ever ask for in a truck.. coming from an '01 tundra
I have a ‘21 Tundra sr5 cm of mgm and it is my fav because it is the 14th year of small, incremental improvements year by year. Except for the fact they took out the trans cooler, it is truck perfection!
A former Chevy Ford guy here... Currently I own a 2018 Toyota Tundra SR5 Crew Max....And I love how reliable my truck is, oil changes every 5 k miles or less, do my own, air filter super clean every day, PCV replace often, Trans fluid refresh every 60 k miles, diferencia oil change every 40 to 50 k miles...etc, etc, So roomie, very comfortable at driving, I take it to central Mexico twice a year on a 2000 miles one way, not a drop of oil burnt, loaded with 1000 lbs at 80 miles/hr...And still gave about 20 m/gl...I dont care about the fancy crap from the other manufacturers.... Tundra here till the end.... Blessings
I lucky with mine , i got a 2011 tundra trd off road package with 100,000 miles , no dings ,dents , great interior no issues , double cab for 18k .. i cant complain , its been a solid reliable hard working truck and ive never had to worry if im going ti need to call tripple aa
...have a 2007 single cab 5.7 V8, SR5, leather, longbed, bed cover, spray bedliner, black nerf side bars & added michelin defender tires with 29000 miles. Bought it about 9 years ago with 8K miles when trucks where plentiful & no one wanted a single cab. Approx 1900+ payload & approx 1000lb hitch weight. It's a beast, great video. Thank you
We recently picked up a 2010 TRD 5.7 with the tow package. It tows about 75% of the time. Absolute work horse, love this truck. Pulls 8k like nothing. 158k on the clock and no signs of slowing.
I have a 2012 tundra double cab.bought it about 5 years ago and it had 26 thousand miles.and now it has just over 42 thousand miles.it has the 4.6 4x2 sr5 base model and I absolutely love it.
I purchased a new 2010 Double Cab Limited TRD in September 2009. At 165k miles it still looks and drives as new. I bought my first new Toyota in 1971 and still have it.
I still have my 2007 Tundra X-SP 2wd 5.7. leveling kit and 1" lift in the back with 34's all around. 167000 miles and she drives better today than when I got her in 2009. She's a keeper.
I just bought a 15' sr5 double cab with the 6.5 bed. It has the 4.6. It drives great but is definitely underpowered compared to what im used to. It doesn't really get any better gas mileage than my gmc with the 6.0 on the freeway. 4x4 works great aand theres many things i like about it. I just couldn't find the same thing in my price range with the 5.7. I hope the Toyota reliability makes up for it. It will be a good mountain truck this summer.
I just recently found an '08 double cab with only 74k miles on it. Full history of dealership maintenance since brand new. Could not pass that up! It's a low trim level (Tundra Grade) but there's so much I can do with it in terms of upgrades and fun projects.
My 2011 DC was the best truck I've every owned hands down. I've owned all the brands & models over the years. And I say it driving a brand new Tundra today.
Thanks for info, I have a 2005 tacoma and love it! No issues, but a little small so I’m trying to get something with a little more towing power for weekend stuff and comfy for the fam
Love Tundra's! I have a 2005. Boyfriend bought his 2013 new ... Awesome truck as well. So sad... His tundra was totaled a few days ago. Truck saved his life. He was smashed from the back and projected to the vehicle in front of him on the freeway with no warning. He and I loved that double cab adventure truck. Traveled on the road (with our kitty copilot!) for solid 2yeara with a truck camper and garage trailer (hauling motorcycle and other toys). Towed great with that load. Many ppl approached us asking how well our tundra does pulling that weight. They sounded concerned. We were not.We set it up correctly and we're good to our truck and she was good to us. It was the best tundra. So sad it gone. Many happy memories. We are Toyota people and specifically love Tundra's. Now the search is on for a new to us tundra. Probably between 2014-2021. Again it is so sad when any tubdra is creamed, let alone your own! And... One that was well cared for, no problems no rust... It was in great condition! A 6 seater. More rare. Great truck. Be safe out there. So many bad drivers. Sometimes there's No notice when someone plows into the back of your rig on a busy freeway no matter how good of a driver you are. Was so sad to see his truck smashed and the airbags went off as well. So glad he is ok Solid truck. Search is on for another.
I came across a 2007 Toyota Tundra on a popular auction website approximately a year ago. It had a little over 14,400 on the odometer. first owner was a retired gentleman who occasionally drove it to home depot. The individual I purchased it from had clayed the paint. Other than some scratches and small dents, it is in amazing condition! All I wanted was simple trunk. I paid way too much for it, but figuring inflation, I didn't do too bad. The only issue I have is the drive tran
The drive train occasionally releases after I remove my foot from the brake! The loca Toyota dealership assured me that the transmission is within specification.
Just bought my used traded in dealer serviced since new w full records, no accidents. A 2012 5.7 DC 4x4 135k miles, on Feb 2023. Its now Sept 2023. No probs at all. Drives great. Like an OG luxury car.
Yes sir, if you don't want a 1st gen Tundra the 2007 to 2013 Tundra are the best. I drive a 4.7 2002 regular cab long bed, and a 5.7 2007 regular cab short bed ... BOTH are SR5 Unicorns with split bench seating. The 2002 is my dedicated work truck that my clients take comfort in seeing me drive up in these past 20 years - that's two decades driving the same work truck. My 2007 is more of a sport truck that I drive for fun, or when conditions like driving into Atlanta warrant more safety features... I would not want to part with either on of them. I replaced the head unit in the '07 for Bluetooth capability that I never use... it has a single CD player, and I will investigate adding a changer because I also love me some CDs. The 2002 has a factory 6 disc changer with amp... it works great.
I just scored a 2011 tundra double cab SR5 with 125k one owner, I'm excited to own this generation as I have seen its capabilities over the last 15 plus years.
My dad has a 2013 4.6 90k double cab. I just changed all fluids including transfer case/diffs. We just acquired a 2012 4.6 double cab 66k. I just did all fluids on that and painted/under coated the frame because we live in the rust belt. Love them both, they run the same...great.
Great Channel I will Never get rid of my supercharged 16 tundra! I love that truck Zero issues and rides just as smooth as when I bought it. Im in the market for another Pick up but im not 100 percent sold on the new tundra, Happy New Year!
I’m on my second tundra. First was a SR5 double cab 4wd. Put 62000 miles on it in one year with no issues. Went all over the country buying cars pulling my 20’ trailer. Sold it to buy something with less miles. Bought a 15 Silverado LTZ Z71….after a month I’m back in a 14 tundra but this time went with a platinum crew max. Love it
I have a 13' SR5 with the 4.6 I bought a few years ago with 35k miles on it now it has 112k miles I've done brake pads, oil changes, the other fluid changes, filter changes, you know, basic maint, haven't had a single problem, I use it to pick up our broken down Rams, Chevy's and Ford's, to make it comfortable I spent 3k on a new stereo system, did a small lift, and got some nice rims/bigger tires....it's a beast, only problem is 14.3 MPG. It's a great truck, like I said, I drive many of our other fleet trucks, 6500's, 2500's even a Tacoma TRD Pro and I'm still comfortable with my Tundra, my last truck was a 2021 Chevy Bison. The Tundra feels like a Sports car after driving a Ram 2500 even more so than after driving our Mack trucks, Freightliners or Peterbilts. TL;DR Good Truck, dependable
I’m in year 2 of owning a 2010 CM 4x4 Grade and freaking love it. The interior space surprises me every time especially when driving with the family. Toyota definitely got it right with these trucks
I put a four row radiator on my 2009 tundra 5.7 L double cab. I can tell you, it runs a whole lot better and I expect it to last longer too. With factory radiator it "ticked" for 30 minutes cooling off after driving here in Florida. That cooling off ticking has stopped. Improved mpg with high zinc oil too despite what the internet said.
2008 5.7 crewmax. It needed a transmission at 155k , a airbag failure cost 2k, the sais and air pump failure _ fixed with helwitt bypass kit. So i got it used for 22k put 100k and then a tree fell on it so i took the totalled valued from insurance . Brought it back for 3k. Now fixed the body work for cheap and now at 190k just did a 500 mile day. Runs good . The helwitt kit made it give 2 to 3 mpg more and makes it run so smooth. Towa a 7k trailer most od the time. 07 to 09 had transmission failures. Post 2010 this disappeared so i would recommend post 2010.
I agree 100% gen 2 tundras are the most distinctive and most versatile version of the Tundra. They still hold their value like crazy. If only they weren't so prone to rust-out!
The crewmax is outrageously large. But I couldn't take the fact that I would lose the sliding rear window, upgraded stereo, and moonroof if I went to the crew cab. Luckily the width of the truck gived the 5.5 foot bed the same volume as the old truck with a 6.5 foot bed
I own a 2010 SR5 double cab with the smaller V8. It has 251k miles and has never had anything other than routine maint done. I tow a Ranger boat and camper with it so its a workhorse. LOVE my truck!!
I can’t believe Toyota gave in. They always kept the simple and tough approach to their trucks, giving you what you needed but not too much more. The new ones are everything but that, I don’t give a rip about gas mileage, I want a big ass V8! It’s a truck, I don’t want turbo v6 garbage. Made me sad to see that
I have an 08 dbl cab sr5 2wd column shift 5.7,its the 8t7 blue with the optional BBS 5 spoke alloy wheels. Nice looking still today,its ceramic coated and I still have people think its a new truck,mine has 110k on it and has been very good. It drives as good or better than any other truck I've driven,and I have driven most everything out there, it is one of the quickest trucks still today, and I get 15 mpg local and 20 mpg hwy. I am hoping it will get passed down to my grandson one day,it is 100 percent rust free at this point,and zero mechanical concerns. Only repairs in 15 years were one rear wheel bearing,and I replaced the water pump at 110k. Other than normal services and a little visit on a wiring harness from a groundhog, its been great. Can't say the same for the ground hog,but it won't be chewing anymore wiring harnesses!
I bought New in 2007 the Toyota Tundra 5.7L Double cab with all the trimmings on it. It has the wood grained dash that still looks fantastic. I wanted the larger truck bed so that is why I bought the double cab. It has the backup camera. No Moon Roof. I have towed a travel trailer in its early years from Texas to NY and back, and from Texas to Washington and back. Otherwise I drive it to work and around town. I've kept it serviced every 5k miles. Had to change the water pump, and AC coil behind the dash. Did breaks, have new tires. I have 122,000 miles on it so I had it completely serviced per the book costing $2350. I've added a lane change detection camera system, bed liner, and bed cover. It came with Tinted windows. So, I've had it for 17 years and enjoy every minute while driving it. Wife thinks the leather seats are better than our new Honda CRV. The truck has the Heated side adjustable Non Tow mirrors. The passenger side mirror has a reflection problem. I think the auto-dimming material has a problem. Can anyone tell me why that might happen?
Bought an '08 double cab TRD Off Road in pyrite mica about a year ago. One owner, 155,000 miles and the interior was like new. The stock suspension was shot so I installed the Eibach front coilover setup that comes with the springs and the leveling already set along with rear shocks. It rides fantastic now. Added an up to date stereo system and that's it. Put about 10,000 miles on it since I had it as a daily driver. Nothing rattles, it rides great, engine makes no noise and runs like a sewing machine, transmission shifts like new. I paid top dollar at the time, $16,000 but you would be hard pressed to find another truck like this one it the condition it is in. I see a ton of old Tundras as work trucks every day and I know why. As reference, I've owned a 2006 first gen, great trucks but the fit and finish left a lot to be desired, and a 2015 which I should have kept.
Agree! 2010 DC 245,000 never spent a night in the shop for anything other than routine service. It works hard all week (lumber rack that gets USED!) and plays hard all weekend - tows a boat, overland camping and wheelin'. You didn't mention the seats... Great!!! My Runner LTD feel like a park bench in comparison. The styling is very RAMish but I don't hold that against it.
I love my 2015 tundra 1794 edition sunset bronze color, just hit 84000 miles on the odometer . Never getting rid of it, even though I’m loving the new tundra iforce max , but I’m wondering how many miles can the new tundra engines reach. The 5.7 iforce are still monster engines , some reaching 300,000 miles and more
Yeah, I have a 2015 1794, but went with the black on saddle. 160,000 miles, and not a spot of rust. So I guess it's broken in now. I live in the snow belt, and have never put it in the garage
Ive owned the 2000, 2013, 2014, and 2019. One thing you didnt mention was all of the different colors you could get back then. Even interior colors were more varied. Now, look around. The SR's and SR5's can be had in any color as long as its white, black, silver, or gray. And seems you get a grey interior on everything, no variation. And yes, the interior features on an SR5 trim level on the 2nd gen were amazing. Had to upgrade to Limited or Platinum on the later models to get many of the little details that came standard on the earlier SR5's.
2006 CC Ltd 4×4, 6.5 ft bed & tow pkg. Had to fully rebuild Front End/Suspension at 85K but still no engine issues, just gotta change TBK soon (103.5K). She isn't perfect but She's my girl! Never left me stranded and can do all maintenance and upkeep repairs myself. Looked at 2nd Gens at Stealership I bought mine from. They offered me $7K. For a 3 yr old $47K when new. Nope, they're gonna have to bury me in my 2005-06 now! Was installing King Tut at California Science Center and got see the Tundra that towed Endeavor there. A Sweet Vehicle!
Just got myself a 2017 crew max 4.6L with just shy of 100k miles. I live in Texas so mileage is typically high on trucks out here. Runs great interior is mint and i just love it. I don’t see myself getting rid of it
I have a 2007 Toyota Tundra Crew Max with the 5.7 V8. Bought it new. It has been the best truck I’ve ever owned. A classic. Tundra V8 5.7 FOREVER.
How many miles
I have one of those 07 Tundra SR5 5.7 bough in Longo Toyota in 2007 with 160,400 miles the best truck ever
07 CM 222,500
2008 sr5 2nd 5.7 bought new 260,000 still going
I'm excited I'm about to buy me first Tundra crew max 4x4 not sure the year something under 100kmiles and under $30k I think the tundra is the best truck out and very strong can get a ton of miles over 300k easy see a bunch high miles can't wait to get mine 😊😊
Just got a 2013 Toyota tundra and love it. I got it for 22k with 64k miles on it original everything. My first truck 5.7L V8… BEAST. I plan on babying it and making it last a long time.
If you keep up with regular maintenance, you’d probably hit more than 500k
@@jasonsingh2695 I’m hoping man. It had one owner prior to me, an elderly man. Records showed he had maintenance done on time every time. So far so good with it.
I got a 2010 crew max Trd off road package n has over 500,000 miles on it n it’s still running great. Definitely a workhorse it is n love it.
I just picked up a 2012 tundra platinum crewmax with only 55k miles in immaculate condition. I love it and couldn't be happier.
That's awesome, congratulations. May I ask what you paid for your Tundra and what part of the country you're in?
@KenAndrews-fc6hb I got it for 30k, which I thought was great.
@KenAndrews-fc6hb I got it for 29.9k, it's a southern AZ truck.
If the 07-13 truck would've had a 6.5' bed on the crew max, and an integrated brake controller it would have been literal truck perfection!
the bed size is my biggest complaint on my 13 CM. even though it'd be huge, id love to get the Double cab w/long bed frame to swap under my cab, and go for the regular DC bed. may or may not be possible, but i thought a company was making them at one point...
There is a guy out in Texas I think that does that, look it up on you tube
The gauges suck and doesn’t have the upgraded 38 gallon fuel tank.
I have a 2007 Tundra Limited 5.7L 4x4 double cab, bought it new and it is still going strong with 150,000 miles on the clock. Best truck I have ever had. I do all my own maintenance and the engine is still in great shape.
150,000 is barely anything. I own 7 Toyotas right now and 6 of them were purchased with 200k which is nothing. I won't be too impressed until they get beyond 400k and wouldn't be surprised if they go 500-750 k. (I would accept that as a win) Some have hit a million.
14-21 is my favorite generation. I own a 21' TRD Sport Premium, 5.7L 4x4 and it is the best truck I've ever owned. Bought brand new, have around 55k on it, the truck is flawless, not 1 problem. Yeah the truck is a bit dated in tech, being as it is the last year of this gen, but that's what makes it special. I'm going to drive this truck until the wheels fall off.
Agree completely! I have the 2007 DC Limited 4WD with the 5.7 L and the TRD package. People come up to me all the time and start conversations about my truck (minimal mods including 2" lift and other little things, nothing huge), and they are floored it's a 2007! I currently have 257,000+ miles on it, and I plan on driving it a couple hundred thousand more. Bed vehicle I've ever owned! Thanks for the awesome video!
Awesome man! Great truck. I own a 2013 and love it aswell!
I absolutely agree, 07-14 was the best. I'm a proud owner of a silver 07 regular cab short bed 4x4 with the 4.7 only 50k miles. I have a 3' lift with nice aftermarket wheels and meaty tires. Also a Gibson dual exhaust that sound so good. This is the 2nd 07 Regular cab I've owned, the first one had the column shift while the second one has the console shift. In hindsight I prefer the column shifter, feels more roomy and is more oldschool unique by today's standards. One cool thing about the regular cab is the passenger seat folds down to make a flat surface also to access the space behind the seats which is huge for a regular cab. The seats can also recline very far back unlike the Big Three regular cabs, also how incredibly wide the doors are compared to all other Tundra configurations. The Regular cab short bed Tundra is a rare breed that I feel honored to drive.
The looks and design really have stood the test of time, I constantly get compliments from random people.
Definitely wished mine was column shift, that's what i miss about my 2006, most.
Right on dude! I have an 07 regular cab short bed that i love, I use it for work and i keep it running good and clean. I'll keep it as long as i can. 340,000 miles on it
I have the 2004 Tundra Limited with 260,000 miles. In 201I drove it from South Louisiana to Tacoma Washington and back TWICE!! Best Truck ever!
Interesting history of the Tundras. I really didn't pay them much mind while I drove a Taco for 15 years. I was looking for another Taco when I got talked into test driving a 20 Tundra Pro. It was love at first drive, and game changing for me. I'm still loving it.
Looking for one with decent mileage right now, wife wants my Taco before winter.
Dude, I bet every salesman knows after driving the Tundra, it's irresistible, haha. At least back then. My '08 makes me smile every day at 118k miles.. I'm thinking of letting one of these programmers run through it, something stage 1ish..?
What Tacoma were you driving for 15 years before you bought your Tundra?
2005 TRD Sport@@richarde1355
Just curious, how much difference is there in gas mileage since you have owned both?
Holy S**T! I've owned an 08 Crew Max for TWO YEARS and only now learned that the back seats recline! Good to know!
I drove a 2013 Tundra Doublecab 4x4 and put 300k miles on it, and then bought a 2021 Crewmax. There was a lot i missed about my 2013. Felt the 2013 had more power and the shifting was smoother and more consistent. Interior felt more robust and tougher. Fit and finish was better than my 21. I agree that the 2007-2013 were better trucks. Not saying my 21 isnt a great truck because i absolutely love my truck! I test drove a few 22 tundra and they feel like a rattly tin can. They feel cheap despite looking amazing interior wise.
I'll never give up my 2018 TRD DC 4x4. It's meets all of my needs. Thanks for the video.
I've owned 9 Tundras since 02 now own 2020 TRD Pro my favorite no problems with any of them , best most reliable trucks ever made .
9 Tundras?!? Wow! Which were your top 3?
I know this was about the 07-13 but my parents have a 2016 Tundra TSS 4x4 with all bells whistles on a 3 inch lift with big tires and I absolutely love it! Any time I visit I make an excuse to go run an errand just so I can drive it:)
I just purchased a 2011 Crew Max SR5, with the 5.7 engine. It has 205,000 miles on it and runs like new. I'm given it some TLC right now, but it's still in great shape. I really like Ford and Chevy, but they don't compare to the Tundra. I have a 2023 4Runner TRD PRO, which I really like, but there is something about driving the Tundra with the 5.7 V8 that's brings out the teenager in me, (i'm 64). Love the Tundra - it's the best. I'm on my 5th one and they were all great trucks.
What did you pay
A little late to the party but this vid rocks. Great overview on Tundra & your opinions on all the options, features, and little tics are 100% shared. '07 - '13 YES! Thank you.
I'm a sedan guy but I'm looking to get into a truck now. I've been eyeballing the Tundra and really like the reviews on it. Thanks for your help!
What did you end up doing??
@@christianrosales9423 I went with a 2006 Ford F150, 4x4, 6.5 bed. The biggest thing for me was the payload and towing capacities.
Picking up my 2012 Tundra tomorrow.. soooo excited and it’s in perfect condition and steeling it for $7,500 love your videos man keep inspiring!!
I have a 2013 Toyota Tundra crew max with the 5.7 ltre engine and in the 7 years Ive owned it all i had to do is regular maintenance,oil , brakes, wipers and tires. Best most reliable truck i ever owned and i owned fords chevys and GMCs.
Stumbling around you tube looking for Best seat covers for my 2019 dbl cab and came across this video, and I must say I watched allot of your videos back when I first got my Tundra , and now@ 98k miles watching this video, I just want to say thank you for the Tundra enthusiasm in all the you do and all that you have done for the Tundra community.
Thanks for the video. I had no idea the backseats were different from 07-13 to 14-21.
Thanks for recognizing those of us still driving the Gen 2’s. I still absolutely love my 12 Platinum. And to hear you point out so many features on this generation that I know I love was just really cool. Thanks man
Lmfao. What features? It’s a damn tundra outdated 🤣😂. Don’t give me that dependable bs like y’all always do go get them numbers vs other brands and come back and post how reliable the Tundra is DONT come back and say Toyota but tundra. FYI 200000 miles on my Silverado and 116000 on my 2019 ram zero issues would you say that’s dependable
100% agree! I bought a 5 year old black 2007 5.7 double cab SR5 4x4 with a column shifter. 225k. Still runs strong! Tow with it every year!
Hey Mark. William here in Charlottesville, Va. I still have my Nautical-Blue, Double cab, SR5 2013 Tundra and in my opinion it’s the best truck I’ve ever owned. I still absolutely love it! It’s a 2013 and I still only have 56,870 ORIGINAL miles! It’s garage-kept and I’m excellent condition. I drive my old 1994 Toyota pick-up as my daily driver so that’s why I’ve been able to keep the mileage down.
Hope all is well William! Good to see you again
I got my 07 double cab 2 wheel drive, brand new. 5.7. Sttill rolling today at 325k miles. Oil change every 5k. Very few issues over the years. Getting 17mpg today, and rides great.
The technology of the new 22' tundra is really great, but you can change the inside all you want. The heart of the "older" beasts won't die. Being a first time owner of a 21' 1794 is an AWESOME experience but also satisfying in the fact that I purchased one of the best and last of the 5.7 V8 engines that won't die, unlike the new generation, but that's just my ¢3. And I'm not hating on the new generation owners, in fact I congratulate them and hope they get everything they need and hope for in a TUNDRA. ....... 5.7 LITER V8 FOREVER 🤗
Great video Tundra dude! About time the early 2nd gen gets some love !
Just bought a 2013 Toyota Tundra “Rock Warrior” and man oh man am i in love already😂
I just bought a 2011 Tundra TRD Limited 4x4 with 68,000 miles for $22,000. Awesome truck with everything. Heated seats, pivoting headlights, collision avoidance, back up camera, navigation, power rear window, power adjustable seats with lumbar and leg height adjustment. Has the 5.7 liter v8 with the bulletproof 6 speed transmission. Immaculate condition. After 3 months I'm already in love with this truck!
I have a 2013 DC SR5 two wheel drive with a 4.6.
No rust, southern truck bone stock and excellent condition with only 88K miles.
It’s a great truck and I’m lucky to own it.
The second gen was great, but I think the 2.5 gen (specifically the '14 to '17) tundra was the best (no TSS nanny warnings). I love my '18 SR5 DC, but I wish I had been in the market a year earlier.
“No TSS nanny warnings”????
I went to Denver from Erie Pa to pick up a high mileage 213,000 , 2007 Tundra CM. I wanted something that was rust free and you can't find that in Pa, Ohio or NY so I drove my rust bucket 2013 Silverado out there to trade it in. I paid 15,900 for my 2007 and I drove it home off the lot without a hiccup. I did a lot of things to the Tundra when I got it home, and it wasn't cheap to bring all the maintenance up to date but it was worth it. The truck runs and drives like new. I wouldn't hesitate to ever buy another high mileage Toyota. The things are bomb proof if you keep up with the maintenance....
TundraDude, thanks for the trip down memory lane. I’d prefer the column shifter that I had on my 2013 DC over the console setup I have now with current 2018 TRD DC. The fold down console in the split bench was plenty big enough. I felt great on long trips to be able to move right leg around.
I owned a 2011 double cab that I bought used in 2013 with 71K miles. Had it until it was totaled in an accident back in October. Blasted in an intersection, and it still started up an ran with no lights on the dash. Drove it home even with a smashed front end. Loved that truck. Definitely a tank. Bought the new gen 2022 SR5 to replace it. Loving it. Hopefully it lasts as long as the gen 2.
I liked your review, and might add, that I purchased a new 2007 Tundra Limited in early 2007. I still have it as my everyday truck. It had a lot of special features at the time. I was the first of my friends to get the new model Tundra, and after driving it, 3 of my friends went out and purchased the 4 door extended cab version for themselves. Now after 17 years we all still have the same truck. I believe mine is the lowest mileage at 88k, and I never intend to sell or trade. My son wants it when I eventually pass. I told him he would have to wait for awhile.
Long live the 2007 crewmax with the 4.8 engine, loved that truck, now have a 2020 with the 5.7
Replaced my 2006 SR5 crew cab with 2017 dble cab, 5.7, SR5 w/TRD package. Perfect truck - does everything I need, minimal tech stuff.
Lucky me! 2007 Sr5 longbed. 4.7 with 72,000 miles.
Hope to be my last truck.
17.5 mpg if driven responsible at 60-65 mph.
2008 CrewMax with 340K miles in Texas. My daughter forgot her phone. It may have saved three lives. The story: Two weeks ago, I had dropped my daughter off at her home in Austin, and drove 20 minutes toward my home. My daughter called from her mother's phone and said she left her phone in my truck. I turned around and went back and gave her phone to her. I then drove about 30 minutes and became involved in a four vehicle wreck. I was slowing for stopped traffic on the highway (a common occurrence anywhere near Austin), when a speeding F-250 behind me impacted me so hard, my seat collapsed. It launched my Tundra into the Toyota Yaris in front of me, and the car in front of it. Three people climbed out of the Yaris, which had my Tundra up to its rear window. They were checked out by first responders, and released. If my Tundra had not been there to absorb the impact of that F-250, those folks would not have walked away. I was able to drive my Tundra home, but I'm sure it is totaled. I wanted to drive this rig to 500K, but now I am looking for another. Maybe to save more lives.
Awesome story!
I bought the '16 CM... if i had it to do over again, I would have picked up the double cab instead.. though its really not a huge deal either way. Truck is all I would ever ask for in a truck.. coming from an '01 tundra
I have a 2010 tundra .I have had lots of Chevy an fords no comparison absolutely 0 problems.I’m a tundra owner from now on Love it
I have a 2013 Crew Max and love it!! Best vehicle I've ever had. 20" wheels. ❤
I’ve got a 2000 4.7 Tundra looking for a 07-21 to upgrade with. But not paying these crazy prices for a truck I drive once a week.
I have a ‘21 Tundra sr5 cm of mgm and it is my fav because it is the 14th year of small, incremental improvements year by year. Except for the fact they took out the trans cooler, it is truck perfection!
Bought my 2008 5.7 crew cab 4x4 about 6 years ago. 1 owner only 47k miles. Now sitting on 75k miles. Loving every moment with it. 6 seater!!
A former Chevy Ford guy here... Currently I own a 2018 Toyota Tundra SR5 Crew Max....And I love how reliable my truck is, oil changes every 5 k miles or less, do my own, air filter super clean every day, PCV replace often, Trans fluid refresh every 60 k miles, diferencia oil change every 40 to 50 k miles...etc, etc, So roomie, very comfortable at driving, I take it to central Mexico twice a year on a 2000 miles one way, not a drop of oil burnt, loaded with 1000 lbs at 80 miles/hr...And still gave about 20 m/gl...I dont care about the fancy crap from the other manufacturers.... Tundra here till the end....
Blessings
I lucky with mine , i got a 2011 tundra trd off road package with 100,000 miles , no dings ,dents , great interior no issues , double cab for 18k .. i cant complain , its been a solid reliable hard working truck and ive never had to worry if im going ti need to call tripple aa
...have a 2007 single cab 5.7 V8, SR5, leather, longbed, bed cover, spray bedliner, black nerf side bars & added michelin defender tires with 29000 miles. Bought it about 9 years ago with 8K miles when trucks where plentiful & no one wanted a single cab. Approx 1900+ payload & approx 1000lb hitch weight. It's a beast, great video. Thank you
We recently picked up a 2010 TRD 5.7 with the tow package. It tows about 75% of the time. Absolute work horse, love this truck. Pulls 8k like nothing. 158k on the clock and no signs of slowing.
I have a 2012 tundra double cab.bought it about 5 years ago and it had 26 thousand miles.and now it has just over 42 thousand miles.it has the 4.6 4x2 sr5 base model and I absolutely love it.
I purchased a new 2010 Double Cab Limited TRD in September 2009. At 165k miles it still looks and drives as new. I bought my first new Toyota in 1971 and still have it.
I still have my 2007 Tundra X-SP 2wd 5.7. leveling kit and 1" lift in the back with 34's all around. 167000 miles and she drives better today than when I got her in 2009. She's a keeper.
Passed on that new computer on wheels and bought a 2021 limited with the trd-off road package in cement
I just bought a 15' sr5 double cab with the 6.5 bed. It has the 4.6. It drives great but is definitely underpowered compared to what im used to. It doesn't really get any better gas mileage than my gmc with the 6.0 on the freeway. 4x4 works great aand theres many things i like about it. I just couldn't find the same thing in my price range with the 5.7. I hope the Toyota reliability makes up for it. It will be a good mountain truck this summer.
I just recently found an '08 double cab with only 74k miles on it. Full history of dealership maintenance since brand new. Could not pass that up! It's a low trim level (Tundra Grade) but there's so much I can do with it in terms of upgrades and fun projects.
Bought my 2011 platinum one owner full records with 82k km two years back. It might be old but only in years!
My 2011 DC was the best truck I've every owned hands down. I've owned all the brands & models over the years. And I say it driving a brand new Tundra today.
Thanks for info, I have a 2005 tacoma and love it! No issues, but a little small so I’m trying to get something with a little more towing power for weekend stuff and comfy for the fam
I loved my 08 Crew Max. Unfortunately I had a motor failure and now I have a 2022 double cab.
bummer, what was the failure?
Love Tundra's!
I have a 2005.
Boyfriend bought his 2013 new ... Awesome truck as well.
So sad... His tundra was totaled a few days ago. Truck saved his life. He was smashed from the back and projected to the vehicle in front of him on the freeway with no warning.
He and I loved that double cab adventure truck. Traveled on the road (with our kitty copilot!) for solid 2yeara with a truck camper and garage trailer (hauling motorcycle and other toys). Towed great with that load. Many ppl approached us asking how well our tundra does pulling that weight. They sounded concerned. We were not.We set it up correctly and we're good to our truck and she was good to us.
It was the best tundra. So sad it gone. Many happy memories.
We are Toyota people and specifically love Tundra's.
Now the search is on for a new to us tundra. Probably between 2014-2021.
Again it is so sad when any tubdra is creamed, let alone your own! And... One that was well cared for, no problems no rust... It was in great condition! A 6 seater. More rare. Great truck.
Be safe out there. So many bad drivers. Sometimes there's No notice when someone plows into the back of your rig on a busy freeway no matter how good of a driver you are. Was so sad to see his truck smashed and the airbags went off as well. So glad he is ok
Solid truck. Search is on for another.
I came across a 2007 Toyota Tundra on a popular auction website approximately a year ago. It had a little over 14,400 on the odometer. first owner was a retired gentleman who occasionally drove it to home depot. The individual I purchased it from had clayed the paint. Other than some scratches and small dents, it is in amazing condition! All I wanted was simple trunk. I paid way too much for it, but figuring inflation, I didn't do too bad. The only issue I have is the drive tran
The drive train occasionally releases after I remove my foot from the brake! The loca Toyota dealership assured me that the transmission is within specification.
Just bought my used traded in dealer serviced since new w full records, no accidents. A 2012 5.7 DC 4x4 135k miles, on Feb 2023. Its now Sept 2023. No probs at all. Drives great. Like an OG luxury car.
I have a 2012 Tundra CrewMax with the 5.7. One of the best vehicles I've owned! LOVE IT!
Yes sir, if you don't want a 1st gen Tundra the 2007 to 2013 Tundra are the best. I drive a 4.7 2002 regular cab long bed, and a 5.7 2007 regular cab short bed ... BOTH are SR5 Unicorns with split bench seating. The 2002 is my dedicated work truck that my clients take comfort in seeing me drive up in these past 20 years - that's two decades driving the same work truck. My 2007 is more of a sport truck that I drive for fun, or when conditions like driving into Atlanta warrant more safety features... I would not want to part with either on of them.
I replaced the head unit in the '07 for Bluetooth capability that I never use... it has a single CD player, and I will investigate adding a changer because I also love me some CDs. The 2002 has a factory 6 disc changer with amp... it works great.
I just scored a 2011 tundra double cab SR5 with 125k one owner, I'm excited to own this generation as I have seen its capabilities over the last 15 plus years.
My dad has a 2013 4.6 90k double cab. I just changed all fluids including transfer case/diffs. We just acquired a 2012 4.6 double cab 66k. I just did all fluids on that and painted/under coated the frame because we live in the rust belt. Love them both, they run the same...great.
Great Channel I will Never get rid of my supercharged 16 tundra! I love that truck Zero issues and rides just as smooth as when I bought it. Im in the market for another Pick up but im not 100 percent sold on the new tundra, Happy New Year!
I’m on my second tundra. First was a SR5 double cab 4wd. Put 62000 miles on it in one year with no issues. Went all over the country buying cars pulling my 20’ trailer. Sold it to buy something with less miles. Bought a 15 Silverado LTZ Z71….after a month I’m back in a 14 tundra but this time went with a platinum crew max. Love it
I have a 13' SR5 with the 4.6 I bought a few years ago with 35k miles on it now it has 112k miles I've done brake pads, oil changes, the other fluid changes, filter changes, you know, basic maint, haven't had a single problem, I use it to pick up our broken down Rams, Chevy's and Ford's, to make it comfortable I spent 3k on a new stereo system, did a small lift, and got some nice rims/bigger tires....it's a beast, only problem is 14.3 MPG. It's a great truck, like I said, I drive many of our other fleet trucks, 6500's, 2500's even a Tacoma TRD Pro and I'm still comfortable with my Tundra, my last truck was a 2021 Chevy Bison. The Tundra feels like a Sports car after driving a Ram 2500 even more so than after driving our Mack trucks, Freightliners or Peterbilts. TL;DR Good Truck, dependable
I’m in year 2 of owning a 2010 CM 4x4 Grade and freaking love it. The interior space surprises me every time especially when driving with the family. Toyota definitely got it right with these trucks
I bought the 2007 Tundra crew max 4X4 5.7. I have over 200K miles and I still love this truck
I put a four row radiator on my 2009 tundra 5.7 L double cab.
I can tell you, it runs a whole lot better and I expect it to last longer too. With factory radiator it "ticked" for 30 minutes cooling off after driving here in Florida. That cooling off ticking has stopped. Improved mpg with high zinc oil too despite what the internet said.
Have a 2008 5.7 w 290000 mile’s run great. Actually like it better than my 2019 limited
I recently bought a '13 double cab 4.6L and it's amazing. It has 155k miles and runs perfect
My favorite was my RWD 2000. Not having all the weight of a 4WD made that truck feel like a sports car on take off.
2008 DBl Cab 5.7 Limited. Bought it new. 130k. Zero issues. Will keep it til it drops. Best vehicle I’ve owned.
2008 5.7 crewmax. It needed a transmission at 155k , a airbag failure cost 2k, the sais and air pump failure _ fixed with helwitt bypass kit. So i got it used for 22k put 100k and then a tree fell on it so i took the totalled valued from insurance . Brought it back for 3k. Now fixed the body work for cheap and now at 190k just did a 500 mile day.
Runs good . The helwitt kit made it give 2 to 3 mpg more and makes it run so smooth.
Towa a 7k trailer most od the time.
07 to 09 had transmission failures. Post 2010 this disappeared so i would recommend post 2010.
I agree 100% gen 2 tundras are the most distinctive and most versatile version of the Tundra. They still hold their value like crazy. If only they weren't so prone to rust-out!
On my second Tundra now, it's a 2008 with the 5.7 installed a catback exhaust system and a K&N air filter, I love that damn truck.
The crewmax is outrageously large. But I couldn't take the fact that I would lose the sliding rear window, upgraded stereo, and moonroof if I went to the crew cab. Luckily the width of the truck gived the 5.5 foot bed the same volume as the old truck with a 6.5 foot bed
2012 rock warrior here, bull bar with LED, bully dog tune. 140k miles, I feel like it’s not broken in yet
I own a 2010 SR5 double cab with the smaller V8. It has 251k miles and has never had anything other than routine maint done. I tow a Ranger boat and camper with it so its a workhorse. LOVE my truck!!
Dang! These older tundras were sweet. Toyota dropped the ball with the new redesign.
I so agree...plastic tyranny cover...nightmare placement of two turbochargers...
and they're ugly to boot!
I can’t believe Toyota gave in. They always kept the simple and tough approach to their trucks, giving you what you needed but not too much more. The new ones are everything but that, I don’t give a rip about gas mileage, I want a big ass V8! It’s a truck, I don’t want turbo v6 garbage. Made me sad to see that
I have an 08 dbl cab sr5 2wd column shift 5.7,its the 8t7 blue with the optional BBS 5 spoke alloy wheels. Nice looking still today,its ceramic coated and I still have people think its a new truck,mine has 110k on it and has been very good. It drives as good or better than any other truck I've driven,and I have driven most everything out there, it is one of the quickest trucks still today, and I get 15 mpg local and 20 mpg hwy. I am hoping it will get passed down to my grandson one day,it is 100 percent rust free at this point,and zero mechanical concerns. Only repairs in 15 years were one rear wheel bearing,and I replaced the water pump at 110k. Other than normal services and a little visit on a wiring harness from a groundhog, its been great. Can't say the same for the ground hog,but it won't be chewing anymore wiring harnesses!
I bought New in 2007 the Toyota Tundra 5.7L Double cab with all the trimmings on it. It has the wood grained dash that still looks fantastic. I wanted the larger truck bed so that is why I bought the double cab. It has the backup camera. No Moon Roof. I have towed a travel trailer in its early years from Texas to NY and back, and from Texas to Washington and back. Otherwise I drive it to work and around town. I've kept it serviced every 5k miles. Had to change the water pump, and AC coil behind the dash. Did breaks, have new tires. I have 122,000 miles on it so I had it completely serviced per the book costing $2350. I've added a lane change detection camera system, bed liner, and bed cover. It came with Tinted windows. So, I've had it for 17 years and enjoy every minute while driving it. Wife thinks the leather seats are better than our new Honda CRV. The truck has the Heated side adjustable Non Tow mirrors. The passenger side mirror has a reflection problem. I think the auto-dimming material has a problem. Can anyone tell me why that might happen?
Just by chance I got the last 5.7 V8 Tundra that will ever be produced, the 2021. By far the best vehicle I've ever owned.
Bought an '08 double cab TRD Off Road in pyrite mica about a year ago. One owner, 155,000 miles and the interior was like new. The stock suspension was shot so I installed the Eibach front coilover setup that comes with the springs and the leveling already set along with rear shocks. It rides fantastic now. Added an up to date stereo system and that's it. Put about 10,000 miles on it since I had it as a daily driver. Nothing rattles, it rides great, engine makes no noise and runs like a sewing machine, transmission shifts like new. I paid top dollar at the time, $16,000 but you would be hard pressed to find another truck like this one it the condition it is in. I see a ton of old Tundras as work trucks every day and I know why. As reference, I've owned a 2006 first gen, great trucks but the fit and finish left a lot to be desired, and a 2015 which I should have kept.
Proud owner of a 2013 trd off road with bds lift kit bamf rock sliders and 18x35 inch mud terrians! 106k miles
I had a 2011 double cab. Truck was bullet proof. bought it with 7 miles on it and traded it with 123,000 miles. not one issue during ownership.
Agree! 2010 DC 245,000 never spent a night in the shop for anything other than routine service. It works hard all week (lumber rack that gets USED!) and plays hard all weekend - tows a boat, overland camping and wheelin'. You didn't mention the seats... Great!!! My Runner LTD feel like a park bench in comparison. The styling is very RAMish but I don't hold that against it.
I love my 2015 tundra 1794 edition sunset bronze color, just hit 84000 miles on the odometer . Never getting rid of it, even though I’m loving the new tundra iforce max , but I’m wondering how many miles can the new tundra engines reach. The 5.7 iforce are still monster engines , some reaching 300,000 miles and more
Yeah, I have a 2015 1794, but went with the black on saddle.
160,000 miles, and not a spot of rust.
So I guess it's broken in now.
I live in the snow belt, and have never put it in the garage
Ive owned the 2000, 2013, 2014, and 2019. One thing you didnt mention was all of the different colors you could get back then. Even interior colors were more varied. Now, look around. The SR's and SR5's can be had in any color as long as its white, black, silver, or gray. And seems you get a grey interior on everything, no variation. And yes, the interior features on an SR5 trim level on the 2nd gen were amazing. Had to upgrade to Limited or Platinum on the later models to get many of the little details that came standard on the earlier SR5's.
2006 CC Ltd 4×4, 6.5 ft bed & tow pkg.
Had to fully rebuild Front End/Suspension at 85K but still no engine issues, just gotta change TBK soon (103.5K).
She isn't perfect but She's my girl!
Never left me stranded and can do all maintenance and upkeep repairs myself.
Looked at 2nd Gens at Stealership I bought mine from.
They offered me $7K.
For a 3 yr old $47K when new.
Nope, they're gonna have to bury me in my 2005-06 now!
Was installing King Tut at California Science Center and got see the Tundra that towed Endeavor there.
A Sweet Vehicle!
Good video. I just bought a 2007 Tundra double cab 4x4 4.7L. Low miles one owner and it drives like a new truck. Love the look of the 2 gen Tundra's.
Just got myself a 2017 crew max 4.6L with just shy of 100k miles. I live in Texas so mileage is typically high on trucks out here. Runs great interior is mint and i just love it. I don’t see myself getting rid of it
I have the same green 2010 tundra loaded TRD 130K still looks and runs great always garaged it may be my last truck you can’t go wrong
Love your channel tundra dude 😎
2016-2021 are the best Tundras, the gauges are easier to see and look better also those models have the 38 gallon upgraded fuel tank.
Any 2nd gen is the best. If my 1794 disappeared tomorrow, I’d get a SR5 double cab with the 6.5’ box.
