Tundras get an update in 2 years.
Most likely make some simple changes to get improved mpg: elect fans, elect power steering, 8 speed trans, etc.
Originally posted by CaptainDave View PostThe main problem I have with the Tundras is they are in desperate need for an update. I'd say the same for the new Tacos and Camerys as well. Toyota hasn't made any significant updates on the Tundras since like 2007. Did they do anything for 2018?
Not saying the Tundras aren't reliable, but Chevy and Ford both have them beat on MPG. Heck, I think Chevy and Ford also have nicer interiors, options, etc.
Personally, I would find a trusted dealer and purchase whatever you are comfortable with. All these vehicles are reliable. I'd also take reliability claims on the internet with a grain of salt considering how many people (regardless of brand) don't even keep a truck 10 years.

I've tried every possible combination using sport mode 4th gear, 5th gear, with and without tow/haul, etc. This is running the same stretch of Hwy77 to the valley running 70-75mph. I'm sure it could get a lot better if I staid under 65mph and 3000rpm's.

Well, just got back from test driving the Tundra's. If I go this route the only model I really liked was the 1794 edition? They are bringing one over from their Weatherford lot tomorrow so who knows?
One of my real estate buddies I used to work with has the exact same model, year, trim and has had no issues. This is the only Tundra I have seen that matches up with my King Ranch both in looks, gadgets, comfort. The others including the Platinum just did not do it for me.
I am going to hit the Chevy/GMS dealer here in the morning just to make sure. It's either the 1794 Tundra or Chevy..none others in consideration. I'll post to the OP what I decide on. Thanks to several for the PM's and advice.

Believe me, we are all about total overall cost/value.
