Have had Tundra's for hauling boats (14ft to 25ft) for out marina Have a 2006 4.7, 2010 4.6, 2013 5.7 and love them all. The 2006 (little Tundra) is great for the tight boat launches; the 2010 is great on fuel with amazing torque and the 2013 is thirsty but excels with the big pulls. Both the 2010 and 13 have the trailer towing package with the extendable mirrors and the eletric locking rear differential which we really like the 2006 pulls almost as well as the 2010 but the smaller size is actually preferred by some of the staff. All came with factory tires that were not aggressive enough for our steep gravel ramps in our area but Goodrich all terrains solved that problem. Have almost 300,000 km on the 2006 and except for a heater motor have not done anything but brakes, tires, spark plugs and oil changes on any of them

I no longer have a Tundra but I loved mine and wish I had the money to have one to go along with my 11 F250 6.7. The long story short...I purchased an 08 dbl cab 5.7 4x4 at an incredible price from a coworker in early 2010. I sold it and then missed it so I sold my 07 Dodge 5.9 CTD (still crying over this). I bought a 2010 demo TRD dbl cab 5.7 in Pyrite Mica and loved the truck. I towed my TC40 with a FEL and an attachment several times. I estimated the weight around 7,500-8,000lbs and did a wonderful job. I had a 2001 Silverado 5.3 with a 4spd and 3.73 that would scream for mercy with the same weight. The Tundra has an excellent motor and gearing for pulling. The 4.30 gear ration gets you going quickly. The best mpg I got was about 18 on the interstate and around 7-8 towing. I hated the small fuel tank and this would be a deal killer if I planned on towing long distances. A 200-220 mile range is a pain. I traded the truck one year later when my third child arrived for a Crew Cab F250. The other brands have caught and surpassed the Tundra, but it is a solid truck. My wife has a 2010 Sequoia with the 5.7 and 3.90 rear end and she loves it. As far as the sag and uneven lines, I believe Toyota admitted their belief is to bend but don't break. Last year in Canada, my bear guide had a 2011 dbl cab with the 5.7 and he had just over 100k miles on his. He drove down the gravel roads at break neck speed with every traction control light flashing like crazy. My F250 would have been beaten apart at the speed he was going. He hated the fuel mileage and the fact it ate tires because he could spin the tires so easily. After this, I figure this is one truck that you have to work at to destroy.

The only thing I don't like about my 07 5.7 Tundra TDR QC/CQ is, it drinks the gas !! MY 5.9 Cummins 4x4 QC. will kill my5.7 tundra QC / CQ (what ever you call it) in mpg any day

any truth to this? as this is my biggest concern not that i would break the frame but how bad it looks when you are hauling.

After owning numerous brands over the years, mostly GMs though I bought a 2000 Tundra about a year before I was talked into getting a dirt track race car. 22 times a year I would pull a 26' enclosed 12k trailer with a 3200 lb car in it plus about 600 to 800 lbs of assorted parts and gear about 150 miles (75 miles each way). I had to use a WD hitch. I did that for 4 years and the Tundra didn't miss a beat. After 130k miles the transmission is just as strong as the day it left the factory. I had the fluid tested at 100k and the report said there was lots of life left in it so I left it in for another 20k. Even when I flushed it I felt like if I had it tested again it would still have been good. I still have it and in a year or so I'm going to replace it with a 5.7 Tundra.

They my not get the best mileage but they are built to last. I work with people who've owned other brands who have had lots of issues. Ford's spark plugs and exhaust manifolds come to mind for the gas engines as well as the oil pans rusting and then leaking on the IH diesels.

I'm on my 4th Tundra, started with an 01 2wd v6, then an 05 4wd base cab V8 (fun truck!).
then i traded that for a 2007 double cab 5.7, nice truck. Traded that 1.5 years ago for the 2010
I have now, 5.7 double cab TRD which had the alloys and bluetooth with satellite radio. All of them
have been great, (have been a toyota fan for 25 years).
I pull landscape trailers with mowers or small compacts all the time at work, and at home have a 6x12 landscape
trailer that i use for hauling my own mowers around. We also have an 18' fiberglass boat that is a piece of cake.
A few years ago i picked up a 27' travel trailer and that is around 7K lbs loaded, not to mention what we put in the
bed of the truck and we don't go far, but it handles it great. I have never towed for long distances, so mileage
isn't really a big issue for me. It's my daily driver (unless it's nice out and i ride the motorcycle!)
I find the ride great, comfort is good, and they are quiet. It's a great truck to drive any time, and I don't mind
taking it on a trip as I like the comfort and quiet on the highway. (trade off for the gas mileage though)
Here's a picture of my 07 hooked up to the camper a few years ago:

I'm not a Tundra owner but may be in the future. Been thinking of getting new truck. Have been leaning toward a Nissan Titan but yesterday I saw a dark blue V6 4WD extended cab Tundra. Have to say it was a beautiful truck!
