2016 Toyota Tundra - Excellent truck.
This truck is a very nice riding truck and has a very quiet interior. I have the 4x4 Crew Max with the 5.7L and there is a ton of room in the front and rear. I was specifically shopping for a truck that had a built-in trailer controller so I wouldn't have to buy one and add it to the dash, and Toyota started putting them in the Tundra in 2016. The interior was upgraded from the gross one in 2014, and that was what got to even look at the new Tundra, and I really like it. The materials are nice, there are zero rattles, everything fits together perfectly, and it's laid out pretty well. It has wonderful power from a stop and when you get on the gas at freeway speeds, I am very happy with the way the engine and transmission work together and the transmission never seems to hunt like other ...

It has wonderful power from a stop and when you get on the gas at freeway speeds, I am very happy with the way the engine and transmission work together and the transmission never seems to hunt like other makes of vehicles I have had before. The thing I don't really like about this truck compared to other trucks in its class is the fuel economy. I hand calculate my mileage, and I have consistently gotten below 14 mpg since I bought the truck brand new. That includes highway, mixed, and city driving. I have a little over 14,000 miles on it, and I've had it 9 months. Fuel has already cost me over $1,800 here in South Carolina, while in California I would be paying much more for the same amount of driving. I bought the Tundra because we plan to get a tow behind camper soon, and a Tacoma just won't cut it for towing what we want.
We put our extra race car motor and transmission on a pallet in the back of it, and the tie down rails in the bed sure came in handy. Unfortunately, the cars owner failed to drain the oil from the motor and the engine leaked it all over my bed, which then dripped it onto my driveway. That was a fun mess to power wash away seeing as the motor was a junkyard motor that had about 180,000 miles on... (more)
We put our extra race car motor and transmission on a pallet in the back of it, and the tie down rails in the bed sure came in handy. Unfortunately, the cars owner failed to drain the oil from the motor and the engine leaked it all over my bed, which then dripped it onto my driveway. That was a fun mess to power wash away seeing as the motor was a junkyard motor that had about 180,000 miles on it and some gross burnt oil in it. Only took my about 20 minutes to clean the bottom of the truck off since it had less than 10,000 miles on it and is still easy to keep clean. But it took hours to clean my 3 year old previously unstained driveway, though.
Excellent power in the 5.7L engine. Transmission that shifts responsibly and doesn't hunt around for gears when it doesn't know what to do. Interior well appointed even for an SR5, center console is nice with shifter in it and 3 cup holders, seat cloth is excellent. Rides very well. Good turning radius.

Why are the floor mats only held down at the drivers feet? Can't we do that at the passenger side, too? My wife is 5'2" and the tips of her toes just barely touch the floor when she is sitting in the seat. When she wants to adjust how she is sitting, she has to push off and stand up on her feet and it pushes the floor mat forward and just bends it all to heck. Because I can't really see it, It has permanent bends in it already. My 4 year old sits in the back, and of course the same thing happens to the back seat floor mat, it's driving me nuts.

The floor mats are very nice rubber goodies, but they need to do something about keeping them in place. Poor gas mileage compared to the competition. SR5 doesn't have automatic headlights. For real? Every single cheap car that's $13,000 has auto headlights, and my $42,000 truck doesn't.
2016 Toyota Tundra - I love it
The car is very convenient, it is a gas saver and the seats are black just how I like it. The seats are leather and with children that is a pro. Also the seats are big and wide so I can sit comfortably. In winter time I can set the seats to a warm level. I love the radio, it syncs with my phone and it gives me a list of favorites. The radio also has navigation and I can set it up to different languages. The car is strong and it runs fast. The A/C works perfect, it gives me the option set the temperature in the back separately. The material of the carpet is great, easy to clean and in black as well so if my children spill something it not easy to see. The windows are tinted which is a plus for babies in the back seats.

We use it for politics my children were staking their heads thru the sun roof.

The car has a good A/C, navigation system, and radio. The radio links to different phones for calls, audio, and music. There is a compartment at the bottom of the back seats for storage. It comes with a strong plastic carpet to make the car easy to clean. The windows are electrical, and have tint in the glass. It comes with a car control for opening and closing doors. Outside the paint is glossy black, it looks clean and shiny. The tires are big and they have beautiful rims.

The car doesn’t come with the side bars, I am a short person and they would definitely help. The car doesn't have keyless features; I would love it if using the actual key was not necessary, since having children means my keys get lost in my purse all the time. The car doesn’t let you know if you are leaving the keys inside, either. The car needs a better quality of windshield, mine broke easily with a stone after two months. The car needs an alarm system, it doesn’t have that and when you want to add it with the dealer they don’t let you because will cause malfunction with the car key rem... (more)

The car doesn’t have a built-in TV. Almost every car has a build in TV nowadays for entertaining and long hours of driving, mostly with a big family.
