The VQ40DE engine they put in the 2005-2019 models is a great engine. The RE5R05A transmission is solid as well. If you get one make sure it’s either past 2008 I think or the radiator has been replaced. The stock radiators had a flaw where it would make strawberry milk by mixing your coolant and transmission fluid usually around 100k miles.

The Gen 3 tundras have the coolant to trans fluid heat exchanger on the right side of the tranny where the thermostat for the tranny fluid is located. Keep that in Mind.

I have a 2013. It gets shit gas mileage but I’ve never had any problems other than normal consumable parts.

It’s a truck, of course it gets shit gas mileage lol
I do wish they’d bring back the small trucks that we had in the 80s

Small trucks are the worst IMO. Yeah they are better mpg but have shit towing and ain’t much better than my Outback with carrying anything large.

Sure I’m sure there are some use cases but the half ton is just a more usable form factor without being that much worse on mpg or cost.

Gotta love how the factory lettering is just as bad as the ones the owner put on.

Yeah, what’s up with that? If anything, the custom ones look better.

Looks like he took the letters off and put them back on. Originally the lettering has a way tighter spacing.
