what do you like most about your tundra?

I saw this on another forum and wanted to ask you guys here. What things do you like most about your tundra in general and over other options?

 

Known reliability.
I can just get in and go where I want to go without having to worry. (I do realize that something can still go wrong, but the odds are in my favor)
I have 2 friends with Rams, and both of them are too afraid to take their trucks on long road trips because of previous bad experiences of getting stranded.

 

The power to weight ratio, the tight turning circle and legendary reliability.

That, and the great looks you get with the '07 to '13 models.

 

I piss off Prius owners

 

The color.

 

The gas mileage...

 

The cam towers.

 

The AIP's

 

Excellent

 

Resale value & reliability

 

Ditto, and made in Texas is a plus.

 

Hooking up the 3,000 trailer, turning on the tow/haul mode and towing; it puts a grin on my face. This scenario is the BEST of any 1500 truck out there and I have had them all.
Don't get me wrong, this truck has tons of demerits too but the low deprecation cures "most" of them.

The look, size, and power

 

Seriously though the size is nice. I can cram all of our crap in it and my kiddo can still have plenty of room to dangle his feet without kicking the back of mine.

 

Being able to jump a curb at 50MPH then pass someone on the grass, then jump back in front of them. I can't do that in my Camry!

 

You must have a Crewmax?

 

cab space/ sliding rear window/ engine power

 

Low maintenance to keep it up to snuff

 

1. Reliability
2. Reliability
3. Reliability

 

It's a panty dropper

 

Man too many to list. But I'd have to say looks. I love the look of the 14+ tundras compared to the other makes. I mean I'd probably still be in my tacoma if it wasn't for seeing a 17 pro and falling in love with it. Once test drove it...there was no going back. More power, more room, and just a sexy truck with lots of potential.

 

Roll-down rear window. Best thing ever.

 

yep. Crewmax. It was a must when looking at them. The rear space is really good to have with dogs and kid(s).

 

In all seriousness, I also am a big fan of how big the cab of my Crewmax is. I am 6'8" and my kids are looking like they are following suit. We are tall people and it is nice having a ride that we can all be comfortable in.

Sliding rear window is pretty nice, too.

 

Put 225,000 miles on my '06 with zero issues. Logical choice was to upgrade to the 2018, equipped exactly as I want it. I could not have made a better choice IMO.

Oh, and the 2018 gets 1 mpg better than the '06 (both V-8, 2wd, 4.7L vs. 5.7L). I'm cool with that.

38 gallon tank for me.

 

-- I feel like I'm in a tank
-- The seat is super comfortable
-- The way it handles in the corners [doesn't lurch and roll like other brands]
-- The way it looks
-- Plenty of power
-- Oh, and the fact that I DON'T CARE and DO NOT WANT TO HEAR about mpg

No particular order ...

 

The crewmax backseat, the sliding rear window, the sexy look, the comfort, the sound and feeling of getting onto the highway in beast mode.. The list goes on.

I've never been in love with a vehicle before, but I'm in love with my tundy.

 

Do I have to pick just one?

1. it's an aggressive looking truck, especially with a 2.5/1 level on 37s
2. power, power, and more power
3. nothing ever breaks, it just runs!
4. it's so spacious inside, even my DC has plenty of room in the back for my 9 & 10 y/o kids with our full grown Newfoundland
5. glad i have the 6.5' bed, not the 5.5'
6. all the little storage cubbies in the cab
7. it has sooooo much ground clearance, even with a small lift (i know the 37s help)
