1 & 2 are identical issues I had with my '03 Chevy. Brakes were replaced three times under warranty by 20k miles, always with a smile. Plastic door stop broke after wind caught door and bent it backwards. Dealer happily replaced under warranty. Still really liked that truck and would have bought another if they offered crew-cab with 6' bed.
'05 Tundra has 50k miles and only back to dealer for one recall....thank God...Toyota dealers never treated me as well as their vehicles. Love this "light-weight" 9/10 truck that can't tow 10,000# yet suspiciously has MORE payload capacity than the new Tundra.....makes ya go hmmmmmm.

We have had our Toyota Tundra for just over a year and we adore it. It's a shame you are having soo many problems with yours. We have never experienced a single problem. We have even towed a 10000 lb. 40 ft. Travel Trailer over 2100 miles and still haven't had any issues. A truck is meant to work hard, not look good, but we got a hard-working truck that looks awesome! Can't argue with that.....

I just don't buy into the outrageous tow ratings on the 1/2 ton trucks. They really don't have the payload capacity to back it up. '07 Tundra CM rated for 10,100# towing and has 1,500# of payload capacity. One tank of fuel and you're overloaded...never mind a driver or anything else. My '05 is rated for 6,500# towing and has over 1,650# of payload capacity. I'm not saying Toyota is better/worse than anyone else because they all do it. Toyota just didn't do it with the prior gen Tundra.
I also have an '03 Ram 3500 with over 180k miles pulling 12,000#-15,000# horse trailers nearly 100% of the miles. Big difference between that and any of the 1/2 ton out there.

You replied to the wrong post. Just one problem with my 06 Tundra, fixed under warranty the first week I had the truck, so far 27K miles and haven't been back since.

The Proof
Just look how Toyota's bed shakes in the durability demo. I wouldn't take the truck down a dirt road.

Another toyota basher. I own a tundra 5.7 engine most powerful 1/2 ton on market fair mpg. ford might make a good truck some day if they get rid of that low power 5.4 gas hog engine. Go to the ford truck form & see if you can find all the problems ford is having. maybe vibration & lots more.You know i don't think there are any toyota owners on there bashing ford.Because they don't want the owners to feel any worse than than they already do.Hope you have good luck with your truck if you have one.

Does anyone know if the Tundra Grade truck has the same shock absorbers as the SR5 and Limited?

toyota tundra vs. toyota tacoma

hi - i was hoping some of you experts could help me!! i need to buy a new (used) truck, and i wanted some opinions. first of all, it would be a daily driver (i drive about 15K to 18K/year). secondly, it needs to look nice enough for a banker to show up at a customer's office and not be embarrassed. (but i only have about $8K and won't finance.)
i'm currently looking at a 2001 tacoma, prerunner, w/ 115K miles. it appears to be in excellent condition, from original owner, asking $7,500. OR, 2003 tundra access cab, excellent from original owner, asking $8,200.
i'd like to keep the truck forever, and give it to my 10 year old son to drive when he turns 16.
THOUGHTS???
THANKS!!!!
