I have had my Tundra since November and it has 4,400 miles on it. No issues to really complain about so far. I have had one little paint protector sticker replaced on the rear door frame. I have towed right up to the max tow limit (10,300lbs) and it handled it great. I have hauled my CanAm 650 Outlander in the bed about 10 times with no issues. Tailgate looks to be weak design but mine hasn't failed yet. I did get some bed bounce on a choppy concrete hwy but not anywhere else. As for the frame being weak...that is BS. C-Channel is standard on heavy duty trucks all the way up to tractor trailers. I have no issue with a C-Channel frame. I have owned Dodge and Chevy's all of my life. This is the first Toyota I have owned and so far I like it. It out performs my 2001 Dodge 4x4 with ease. My 01 had just under 70,000 miles and the front end was completely worn out. It also couldn't handle a load at all. My ATV made it squat like it was fully loaded...not so in the Tundra.

I still don't have enough time or miles in the Tundra to say that it is the best truck out there yet. So far it has been a good truck and the power is unbeatable as you know.

Good luck!!
