Latest negative Toyota Tundra car reviews

  1. Nico Bernhard 2025-09-25

    Vehicle year: 2010

    I waited until I hit 15K miles before writing this review, and I must say, this truck is amazing! Despite its size, the ride is surprisingly smooth. I drove my dad's 2010 Dodge Ram over the same rough terrain and didn't feel a difference. The CrewMax is enormous and capable of making a 6K camper seem like a load of firewood. The truck has more than enough power, with or without a load. However, the transmission can have a hard time finding the right gear at certain speeds and may drop into too low of a gear at times. Additionally, shorter people may struggle to reach all of the buttons on the radio due to the large interior area. Overall, the base no-frills model is perfect for everyday and long road trip driving.

  2. Cristopher Gulgowski 2025-09-20

    Vehicle year: 2007

    This truck is great! It rides and handles really well, and even my wife enjoys driving it. It's super comfortable for my 6'2'' frame, even on long drives. The fit and finish are outstanding, although it's important to be gentle with the sheet metal as it's quite thin and can dent easily. The same goes for the paint job, which is also quite thin. I've had this truck for a year and a half and haven't had any issues covered by the warranty. While it may not be a replacement for a Ford F250, I would definitely recommend it over a F150.

  3. Kelton Metz 2025-09-16

    Vehicle year: 2024

    I recently upgraded from a 2018 5.7 Tundra to a 2023 Tundra and while there are many improvements, I have encountered a few issues. The interior is nicely laid out and the overall exterior styling is good. However, I have experienced some wind noise coming from both front doors at speeds of 45mph or higher, which can be quite annoying. Additionally, the door panels rattle even at 40% volume, which can be distracting and takes away from the overall experience. The Carplay feature also crashes every few minutes, which can be frustrating. I have tried multiple phones and they all have the same issue. The roof seals are inconsistent and have gaps from the factory, which can allow water and salt to get trapped and eventually lead to rust. There have also been instances of a dead throttle at times from start, which is a safety concern. The heater vent when set on feet is restricted by something and does not allow for air to flow freely. Lastly, I have noticed that despite driving mostly on rural roads with ideal speeds of 50mph, I am only averaging 14mph on the highway, which is far from the EPA ratings of 17-22. Despite these issues, I have been in contact with Toyota USA and they have promised to send a technician to look at the truck. I remain hopeful that these issues will be resolved soon.As a long-time Toyota fan, I was disappointed to see a decrease in quality standards for the new Tundra. It seems that Toyota is not standing by their products like they used to. I have been driving their vehicles for a couple of decades now and have even convinced many of my friends and family to switch to Toyota. However, this new direction for Toyota USA has left me hesitant to purchase any more of their vehicles made in the US. I may even trade in my '23 Tundra for a 2018 Tundra, which was the last year of a reliable 1/2 ton pickup truck with a transmission cooler.

  4. Dallas Gusikowski 2025-09-15

    Vehicle year: 2023

    I am disappointed that my brand new truck is leaking water inside the cabin, specifically in the door grab. However, I am confident that Toyota Motor Corp will handle the situation effectively. Despite my truck spending more time in the dealership than on the road, I trust that the issue will be resolved satisfactorily.

  5. Quinn Zemlak 2025-09-15

    Vehicle year: 2013

    In 2012, I purchased my brand new Toyota Tundra SR5 double cab 4.6L from a local dealership. Recently, my check engine and TRC OFF lights came on, so I immediately took it to a nearby Toyota dealership. After a thorough diagnosis, the service technician informed me that my secondary air injection valves were closed, which was causing my truck to only reach 40mph and feel bogged down. The technician suggested resetting the computer and the valves could reset themselves, which would only cost $100.00 for the computer testing. However, if the air injection valve assembly was bad, it would cost $2,500.00 to repair it at the dealership. Although they tried to sell me a new truck, I asked many questions and was informed that I did not neglect my truck and that it was a manufacturer issue. Unfortunately, my truck was not covered under the recall/warranty, which only applied to the 5.7L Tundras. After researching, I found that Toyota has had many issues with this valve system since early 2000. I contacted the dealership where I bought the truck, but they were unable to help me and tried to sell me a new truck. I was then told to call corporate, and although they made a case, they pointed the finger at the dealership. Toyota needs to take ownership of the faulty manufactured part, as it is not my fault that their vehicles have rust issues, brake issues, airbag issues, and air injection valve issues.I have never experienced such poor treatment from a company that claims to have excellent customer service. However, I am confident in my decision to not continue doing business with them. Despite owing 5k on my truck with 130k miles, I have decided to invest 3k into it elsewhere. I am confident that this is the best decision for me and my vehicle.

    I bought my 2008 Tundra SR 5 4×4 brand new and it has been the best truck I've ever owned! The only issue I've had is that the starter is in an odd place, which cost $700.00 to repair. Other than that, it's a solid truck that runs like a champ. I'm hoping that the new Tundra will come out with a 10k-12k towing rating. This truck is incredibly dependable and reliable, with no oil or transmission leaks, and no paint fade or rust. I used the 4x4 every day during the Texas winter storm of 2021 and it never had any issues. It just hit 185k and it still runs like new. The 5.8 V-8 is a tried and true motor, and in my opinion, it's one of the best motors in the truck market.

    This truck is an excellent value for money. Firstly, the double cab can comfortably seat three adults and has a 6 1/2 ft bed, which is a unique feature for Ford and not available for GM. Secondly, the drive train is exceptional (5.7, 4x4, TRD), providing smooth acceleration and consistent power. I have noticed an improvement in my gas mileage, currently at about 16.7, with 80% highway driving. The ride is quiet and smooth, which is impressive for a truck. Additionally, the Bluetooth hands-free feature for cell phones was easy to set up, and the headlights work great! Compared to my previous trucks, the Tundra's headlights are much stronger. Although the interior design may appear basic compared to recently remodeled trucks, the Tundra's capabilities can still compete with today's Ford, Dodge, and GM trucks!

    It's been 20 years since I owned a Toyota, a 1989 single cab V6. It was a reliable vehicle that could go almost anywhere, like a quad 4-wheeler. It gave me 190,000 miles of freedom without any major breakdowns or disappointments. Now, with my new 2021 Tundra, I can see and feel the same level of quality and dependability. When you look underneath the vehicle, you can see that it's held together with actual nuts and bolts, not plastic clips. Even the Taliban uses Toyota trucks to fight Soviets and Americans because they are easy to repair and highly dependable. Toyota is known for being the most dependable vehicle available on U.S. soil today, and it's assembled in the USA with many homemade parts. If you're in the market for a pickup truck, Toyota is the way to go. Unless you're competing in tractor pulls, then a RAM might be a better choice. RAM will get you down the track once, but it might cost you some money. With Toyota, you won't be surprised by poor parts or failures. Toyota is the reliable choice.

    Best truck ever made! It's amazing that yours has 453,000 miles and still runs great.

    This truck drives and rides great, much better than most in this category. I use it for light hauling, mostly yardwork and home remodeling supplies. It really fits this need very well. I think the interior is great, with good design, fit and finish. There's plenty of room for my family of 3. However, I wouldn't recommend towing a very big trailer with the V6.
