any toyota tundra owners?

evening everyone just wondering if anyone here owns a tundra? i know its probably a no no to even think about a toyota. anyway my 2500hd duramax got wiped out by someone texting, not sure what insurance is going to do but if i have to replace it i was thinking of a tundra. i know it wont have the guts the diesel has but does anyone think the tundra can tow a 16ft landscape trailer with about 100 bales of hay or the same trailer with 2 4x4 round silage bales? i have seen some videos of tundras towing some big campers and other stuff that seem to be way over the limit they can tow safely.

My friend pulls two tractors on a gooseneck with his. We are in the mountains.

I've had Toyota pickups for the last 18 years. Ordered a 07 Tundra and have loved it since. The 5.7 will pull anything I can hook to it around here. Not that I would do it for 100 miles, but I have used mine to pull school buses a few times. Although the 4.6 has been around for a long time I wouldn't bother with it.

They are extremely comfortable to ride in long term. That was one of my considerations when I ordered the last one.

Not saying I won't shift to Chevy if I like them for the next one, but I love this one and see no reason to trade it any time soon. Only thing I hate is all of the nannies but they all have them. I have just learned to turn off the traction control when I am in a pasture or chasing cattle.

You're opening up a can 'o worms mentioning Tundra, but,
I'll give you MY 2¢…i've had 4 Tundras, going for my 5th
this Saturday and they've towed whatever I've hooked to
'em. Small backhoes and Bobcat® even tree stumps. I've
had Fords,Chevys,and Dodges - never had a diesel though
so I can't say how it would compare....

The Tundra is rated to carry just over 2000 lbs in the bed and tow a trailer just over 10,000 lbs.

I have heard some complain about the ride when empty but it is a totally better ride if you put some weight in it.

But if they are anything like their cars or the Tacoma I would not hesitate to buy one.

I would be willing to bet that todays Toyota is at least as made in America as Chevy, Ford or Dodge. Today a name is just a name.

I havn't driven either, but if you are use to a Duramax, I'd think a Tundra would really disappoint you. Less truck in everyway. That said, it's probably the best 1/2 ton on the market. The box frames really scare me. Just the thought of what salt will do to them. Tundra doesn't have this. Most people see it as a minus, I see it as a plus. Let everyone else be the test dummies.

Assembled in America. Designed, engineered, accounted, tooled and supplied ...outside. None of your college educated kids can get a foot in that door.

Americans are just the assembly line grunts.
Less than 20 hours per unit. 20x$25=$500.

My Dodge says Port of Entry El Paso Tx. My next truck in a couple of years will be a Tundra.

I drive one over 200 miles a day very comfortable to drive, standard truck comes with power windows, heated power mirrows alot of other small stuff. The bad 4.6 engine 14 MPG 26 gallon gas tank the windshield must be paper thin because out of three the company just bought all three have at least 2 chips and cracks. plenty of power shifts alot. I own a 2012 chevy has alot more features on the base truck, was driving a F150 at 133000 miles engine was making noise at start up and one other F150 around 135000 trans was going out
Hope this helps

How do you turn off the traction control on the tundra? my son has one.

Just traded my 07 GMC K2500HD for a '13 Tundra this past April.

I absolutely LOVE the Tundra so far. After looking into the pluses and minuses, I got the 5.7 and that was a great decision as well.

Much more comfortable truck than the GMC. Rides better, handles better, quieter and will tow anything the GMC would with it's 6.0

Best I ever did with the GMC was 16.x running empty with a tonneau cover. Best with the Tundra has been 20 even, with a 3200 mile trip averaging 18.2

I decided to trade the GMC because the rust moths were getting to it bad. I decided to try a Toyota after years of Dodge/Chevy/GMC because my 03 Toyota car was still rust free after 10 years on Maine roads and living with the coastal salt air.

Never had or drove a Tundra, but I had 2 of the smaller Tacoma types, a 90 and 91. I hauled a tandem axle flat bed trailer with 100-140 bales a little over 100 miles, up hill, with the 91 with the 4 cyl 22r engine and standard tranny twice a month for several years. I absolutely loved that truck and put over 300k on it before the NY rust got it. Bought it new and took it off the road in 05 IIRC. Then it did another 3 or 4 years as a field truck and took abuse no vehicle should take. The 90 I bought used with 180K on it, had the V6 and standard. I put 100K on it before the rust got it and it was a field truck for another 2 years before a rod let go. Both truck averaged 20 mpg. I would have gotten another toy but I simply couldn't find one I could afford. I bought an F150 which lasted 2 years before it became a field truck and no drive a 95 Suburban. The Chev has the most comfortable seating there is and I love the ride, but it's mileage stinks and it's not a PU or 4wd. The Ford was simply a terrible truck and a constant money pit.

Anyway, I think Toy makes the best quarter and half ton trucks you can get. If they had Chevy seats they'd be perfect IMO. For heavy towing I'd have to try them out, but for towing up to 5-6k and a little towing even heavier the Toy got the job done for me with no complaints.

BTW- the only things I put in the 91 were a rad, a steel rad tube, brakes and a starter in 300K.

I've got a "1 ton" 1988 Toyota pickup/RV that weighs
5800 lbs. and only has a 2.4 liter four-cylinder
engine. Has 140K and still runs fine. If this
dinky little truck can withstand this kind of use, I
suppose the Tundra will be fine with a landscape
trailer.

At 50-60# per bale that's only 5000-6000# on the trailer. No problem whatsoever for a Tundra. I'm on my 5th Toyota truck and the other four are still in the family, all running every day. When I get about 300,000 on mine, I just sign it over to one of my sons. Free. My 2010 Tundra has only 175,000 on it but in about two years it'll be ready for the old intra-family transfer and I'll get another new one. 5.7 engine is superb. 18-19 mpg highway @ 70-75mph.
