How's you Tundra "Gone"? I had this with "GET REAL". Like you I take it from when people write down what's happening to them is the truth from as far as we know it. Now I don't call anyone a troll or whatever I related it to my bad times with new vehicles "06 Chevy, 03 F-150, 03 Crown Vic, 97 Thunderbird, 92 GMC Sonoma. The only 2 new vehicles I had that to me considered problem free was my 98 Silverado 2x fix A/C fan rattled at 800 miles and then A/C compressor and pully tensioner at 95,000 miles. Also my current vehicle which for some don't like to hear I love it because it stays on the road. I had the pass mirror fixed because it wouldn't auto close everytime at 15,000 miles. I'm currently at 22,500 miles which is almost 2 years by most people. I travel in my truck, I carry things in the back of my truck all the time. Granted it's just the wife and I but when I had people with me I want them to be comfortable with me. The Crewmax does that. I take care of my vehicles by letting the dealership do all maintenance. Yes it's expensive so is unlead premium but I do it now. So if I finally have a vehicle that works all the time I consider myself lucky and I feel good about owning this Toyota. My wife got a Prius the same time and no issues with her car. This is the 3rd Toyota I ever owned. My first car was a 74 Toyota Corona SR5. 1800cc with a 5 speed and it had an ESP panel which to me was the best at the time. It showed you by light bulb when fluids were low i.e. Battery, Brake, Radiator along with overflow bottle, winshield wiper fluid. Also when lights burned out a red light would come on. When brake shoes wore down the light would come on before you got to metal on metal. To me at the time this was impressive. Only problem Hot Rodding it cause the shift to break 2x. At that time it took 2 weeks for a part to come in. Hell I was the only guy in New Orleans at the time with 13" 4 spoke Cragar SS with a 10" deep Cragar SS in the back along with lakewood traction bars. The 2 week thing cost me 4x so I decided to sell it and went with Chevy. So this is my first Toyota Truck in it's new production type with no issues I'm happy. But I wouldn't be in a TUNDRA if Chevy and Ford wouldn't have pushed me away with their customer service. Also I have mentioned it on other treads how to go about having customer service done or Lemon Law which is a waste of time but there. I've been there and done that. Everyone has the right to post here what they want and if you want to hear about my trips and how I'm enjoying my truck I would be happy to do so. I will be the first in line if I have a problem also. I do understand both ways here that's why you got it here in the forum. It can't be just for problems and it can't be just for us cheerleaders too. That's why both sides are represented here in the forum. This is how you get all the information for someone doing research in looking at buying a Tundra.
