Trade in for a Tundra…

I've got a Toyota and 2 Fords in the driveway. A 5.0 or 6.2 V8 will give anything from Toyota a run for its money in the longevity department, that's a fact.

Late 90s to early 2000s is where Toyota had no equal, the stuff they make today has the same issues as everyone else.

18-19 sounds pretty good.

I get 15-16 in town. I drive like a “grandpa” though. I don’t feel the need to be the first one to the next red light.

My 01 Tundra I only got 11-12 in town and 15-16 in the highway. It was turning 33s as well.

This was on the way back from AZ when I bought it. Phoenix to Northern Utah via Flagstaff. Average speed around 75 with winding roads and a few pulls over small mountain passes.

Thats one of those old lady gossip tv shows isnt it? Figures you're watching stuff like that

Figures you don't know who Scott Jennings is...He destroys widely-held beliefs with facts and then the gullible believers go right back to repeating what they desperately want to believe.
You should stick to your echo chamber where it's safe to glaze Toyotas.
Facts are threatening.....

I have a 2018 Tundra 5.7, very reliable. My only complaint is the seats and brakes. If you spill a drop off water on the seats it leaves some horrible stains. The brakes seem to wear out fast. If I could do it over I would have gotten a 2017, less computer stuff on them.

Interesting - I have a 2018 Tundra as well. 121K miles. Only maintenance I've had to do is regular oil, transfer cases, etc, and replace tires (twice). I haven't had to replace the brakes yet though...(knock on wood!)

You have 121k on your brakes and haven't replaced them??

most Toyota trucks I have owned required brakes at 120k-150k, and I always use Toyota pads, tried others , there all junk

And it is real nice when all you realize the brakes are designed to be worked on

Guess I got a bad batch. I have had 2 replacements on the front and got the rears done yesterday at the dealership.

Yup - I tow quite a bit too. Have them checked every oil change, and still plenty of life left. It's crazy. But I'll take it!
