Toyota Tundra: Top 5 Of All Time!

[@larrysanxter6343]

In July 2023 I bought a 2021 1794 Tundra in the Mesquite color. It had approximately 21500 miles and had been wonderfully maintained and came from Alabama. I live in northern Indiana so I was happy to find one which had not spent its first two years in the rust belt. I have had it undercoated and have added anti sway bars in both the front and rear. I plan to have the body exterior ceramic coated. I am 79 years old so I plan on keeping this Tundra until I pass on and enjoy it until then.

[@IMC-q3d]

I too bought my 2021 Tundra Platinum in the Mesquite color in Sept 2023. It had 14000 miles on it from N. Carolina. I'm in PA. Last year for the V8 and 6 spd trans. Last truck I'll need as I'm knocking on 70 myself. Great truck.

[@jerryhubbard4461]

I bought a new 1986 Xtra cab pickup, traded later for 1991 Extra cab truck, now I own a 1994 short bed and a 2018 Crewmax Platinum. I am 71 years of age and like the gentleman before me plan to drive it until I am gone.

[@arnoldreiter435]

i own a 98 T100, have for just over 15 years. It has hauled my camper, fill dirt, cow manure, building supply's, ect and currently has a 250g water tank that i use to fill my cistern regularly. I would love a Tundra but wow do they want an arm an leg for them.........I did get a Sequoia(2002) two years ago and feel that the first gen Tundra is the go to truck if you actually use it as a truck. If looks are important, which is the case for most then your list is a good one.

[@megharper5077]

I had a 1993 T100 and am sorry I sold it. Strangely, it was better in the snow than my 2002 Tundra (still going strong and bought new). I also own a 2019 and 2021 Tundras. And I owned two 1st gen Sequoias which sadly rusted out after more than 15 years. I had a 2nd gen Sequoia and hated it because the inside got smaller. My experience is that the 1st gen Tundras and Sequoias are the best. Not for towing but for all-around practicality and reliability with the massive gas consumption of the second gen/5.7 V8. I traded that last Sequoia for a 2023 GX460 to get back to a V8 that is old-school reliable.

[@Johnsmith46392]

The best thing they’re doing with the new gen is you can get a 6.5’ bed with a crew cab. Finally!

[@toretawal]

I had a 2007 Tundra SR5TRD OFF-ROAD IN Silver…Absolutely loved that truck…

[@charliehastings6982]

I think thats a good list! I personally bought a 2003 Tundra new...still drivin it daily..250 k on clock. Its an oddball so to speak..Access cab..with Tacoma runnin gear..ie...3.4 Litre V6..190 hp..5 speed manual..very few and far between. It wont win any races..21 mpg if u drive 57 or so. It has been bulletproof..vhange oil ..full synthetic..every 3500 miles. Its basic and very dependable..run forever truck..so dependable .. 21 yrs later...dont use a drop of oil..between changes...thats my pick for the best in Gen 1...Gen 1 4.7 last forever also..with diligent maintenance..but poor gas mileage. Thanx for all you do for the millions of Tundra lovers..no matter the yr👍👍

[@laurakilmer8652]

I have the 2020 Red crewmax. I love it I only have 14000 miles on it. It pulls my 24 foot camper trailer very easily. thanks for your video

[@jamesdalton2847]

I’ve been researching used Tundras. Several websites are saying to stay away from the 2007. Mainly mechanically and for reported problems. So you wouldn’t hesitate to buy a 2007?

I just picked up my first Tundra. It’s a 2017 with the TRD off road package. 72k miles 👌 Glad to be part of the family!

[@B126USMC]

# 1. .... my opinion, (you already referred to the '15 Pro), however, I believe the 2015 year was the best year for Tundra.

[@shanewhittemore]

Good list Mark. I would say you are #1 expert on Tundra's so it is hard to argue with that list.

[@johnwooten8811]

Love my 2011 Rock warrior double cab black in color . Took the back seats out leaving that little jump seat on the passenger side . Neighbors thought I was nuts extracting seats out of a brand new truck but I love customizing to my needs. Love the room it gives me . 13 yrs later I’ve got 167000 miles and it’s never let me down. Love Toyota brand. Also have a Camry I bought brand new in 2000 with 400,000 miles and it’s never let me down. Anyway really like your choices, gd list,enjoy watching your videos.

I had a 2003 grey sr5 stepwise. My son borrowed it and it never came back. I loved it. It currently has 245,000 miles and is going strong. I just picked up a 2007 limited and don't miss my 03 anymore.It has 235.000 miles on it and doesn't miss a beat. Great trucks!

[@jonaustin262]

For me it is the 2018-2019 Trd sport with cloth interior and body color panels factory no chrome and lastly the non jbl system I would have loved options for Trd pro suspension across the line up and I believe the Trd pro in 2015-2017 were only years of the double cab with the 6.5 bed as why I ended up with 2019 Trd sport 4x4 in mgm which is the best color imo Only if they offered solar octane in the previous generation

[@ralphplazachesmarhomes]

I’m a fan in your videos but I was surprised on your number 1 choice. 2007 was the 1st year of the second gen. Normally I stay away from first year generation. Besides I could be wrong but I had a 2009 with a 4.7 engine. Anyway i agreed with all except number one. My number 1 will be the new Capstone. 😉

[@Chuck-w4w]

I have a 2007 Toyota Tundra regular cab with the 5.7 liter engine. I have 185,000 miles on it and it drives really well with just regular maintenance. The only problem is the paint is starting to go. I have lived in California and now Arizona and it has always been parked outside.

[@bobbirdwell5452]

I have a 2004 Tundra and a 2020 Tundra. They’re both awesome trucks!

[@dwayneroberts6616]

Every Tundra owner is here fully believing their truck belongs on the list😂. I ❤ my 2nd gen 2011 TRD crew cab 4.6 284,000 mls and running better than American trucks with half the mileage. I'll drop another engine in this truck before I buy another truck. I love the rounded body style of the older Tundra.

I have an 07 with 268K 4x4. Its a beast. Debating on selling and buying one with 50-75K miles.

[@douglaswhitcomb9729]

Thank you for the content. Never was a fan of the step side. Totally agree with the 2007 assessment. I’m a long time Toyota owner. I currently have the 19 Tundra SR5 TRD Off Road and a 18 Camry XSE. Both are fantastic vehicles. My previous Tundra was a 13 SR5 and also performed flawlessly. I’m still of the opinion that Toyota missed huge with the latest generation of Tundra. No front tow hook!? It’s supposed to be a pickup truck, not a SUV with a bed.

[@TundraDude34]

Im expecting to catch heat for the step side being in my top 5 🤣

[@douglaswhitcomb9729]

The unique 1st Gen step-side deserves honorable mention for garnering the most undeserved hate from people, but the #1 best 1st Gen Tundra were regular cab long bed V8 trucks with 2wd & 4wd. The #2 best Tundra are the 2007 5.7L regular cab Tundra, 2wd & 4wd, long bed or short bed.

[@GoodSamLegend]

My favorite Tundra gen is the 2nd gen, especially the model years 2014 - 2021. I agree that the 2007 Tundra, for that time, was the one that put the Tundra on the map and paved the road ahead for Toyota and even Nissan. The mid cycle fresh further improved the truck and for truck purist, I think it is the best truck. Toyota, unfortunately, could not do that with the 3rd gen, but at least they were able to learn from their mistakes and came up with the new Tacoma, which in my opinion is still the best overall mid-size truck.

[@FreedomLovinLady]

Tacoma is good, but the BEST midsize truck is my 2003 Limited Access cab 4x4 :) Still going strong :)
