2007 Toyota Tundra SR5 from North America - All Comments

22:41 Why argue with people you do not know or will never meet... 100 times you repeat an opinion? If you have great luck with your vehicle, good for you. However if I see any vehicle dramatically dropping ratings rather than showing increasing improvement, it will not be considered in our household. What do you attribute Toyotas dramatic drop in quality... or is it well Taurus is worse? Why is Honda now superior to Toyota?

Consumer Reports no longer recommends buying a V-6 Camry or a V-8 Tundra, based on the reliability problems reported by their 1.3 million subscribers.

Meanwhile, Buick, Cadillac, Lincoln, and Mercury have moved into the top five slots for quality in J.D. Powers surveys, and both show Ford as good as Honda and Toyota, save for some subjective dislike of interiors.

Looks like the party is over in Toyota-land, with Ford and GM back on top where they belong. Toyota and Honda are yesterday's news.

15:25 OK, you got me! A guess Buick getting there once is as good as Lexus (Toyota) doing it 13 straight years and counting.

When I buy a car or if it were a truck I would consider the facts such as toyota trucks are non-existent or nearly on a farm. The proving ground for such vehicles. It is a truck; it needs to be crude and rough to take the abuse like a tractor. If you use it as such you wouldn't want the cup holders or bluetooth, you want simple and cost effective. I bet the M1 tank is pretty rough around the edges, but it does its job. Also some people would complain about the g forces in a F-15; OH it isn't smooth, never mind a 90+ kills to no losses of its own.

The saddest thing is that some people, unable to roll up their sleeves and get elbow deep in working, dampen the spirit of the bread and butter vehicles of the US. They were never designed to be cars, they are trucks, workhorses, and durable. Who cares about the soft ride.

12:09 Thank you. That was the funniest comment I've ever read. Toyota and Honda, the two fastest growing, most progressive automakers in the world are yesterday's news, and FORD!! is the way of the future! Ha haaaa!!

I'll let you in on a little secret that those of us that actually do research already know: These few Ford cars that are getting decent reliability ratings; (they're not that good). They're NEW, that's why they're not falling apart just yet. Give them a few years and they'll start disintegrating just like all Ford cars do, and they'll join the ranks of every other Ford car from the last 30 years that became a discontinued nightmare.

17:25 Being in the present has more relevance than having a car that is no longer recommended. Unless you are buying used and not in the market for the newest recommended reliable models.

11:22??? Lexus is STILL there?! You want to take a look at 'cars not recommended'; let's look at somebody like Ford or Chevy: how about darn near every one of them! These Ford owners are thrilled because for once they have 1 or 2 cars that weren't reviewed as complete pieces of junk, and Toyota, for the first time in years, has made ANY car that isn't fully recommended by every publication. And the Ford owners think this means that Ford is now as quality as Toyota. Yeah, right. Toyota will straighten out the few issues that they have going on right now, and continue to make the best cars on the road, and Ford's new cars, as usual, will most likely turn out to be saturated with mechanical problems.

The truth is, I won't buy a new Camry either until I'm sure there are no issues with it, but I can for damn sure do better than a Ford; in fact, almost anything is a better choice in cars, you'd be hard pressed to find a worse one. I can't even believe, given Ford's track record with cars, that ANYONE still buys Fords. There's no sound reasoning that a person can use to come up with the decision to drive a Ford.

I find it equally funny that of the two cars recommended from Ford, these are not even really American cars anyway. Both the Mercury Milan and Ford Fusion are built on a Mazda 6 platform. They're cross-engineered from Mazda and Ford. The crank in the engine is made in India. Both cars are manufactured in Mexico.

On the other hand, the Camry and Avalon are made in Kentucky. Many of the parts come from Denso USA in TN. So for you folks who are on here waving your patriotic flags, perhaps you should get your facts straight and see just who you're waving those flags for, because these so-called "American" cars are far from it.

"Toyota will straighten out the few issues that they have going on right now, and continue to make the best cars on the road."

Sounds like the statement of a person who desperately wants to believe it. Get used to disappointment.

"There's no sound reasoning that a person can use to come up with the decision to drive a Ford."

Oh? How about a 3.0 L V-6 that gets 20/28 mpg in a well appointed mid-size sedan, for $21,500? That would be the Ford Fusion. Or how about a 3.5 L V-6 that gets 20/27 in a luxurious mid-size bordering on full-size sedan for $23,500? That would be the new Ford Taurus. Or how about the luxurious mid-size Mercury Milan for as low as $21,500, with the 4-cylinder that gets 22/30? Or how about the new Ford Focus, with a 2.0 L that gets 27/34 mpg for $17,500? They kinda make the Camry and Corolla look like a pile of puke. Sounds like lots of good reasons to buy a Ford car.

My 2007 Tundra CrewMax, with a 5.7 liter engine, is now three months old and has just over 3000 miles.

There is nothing to report, except that it has performed as advertised and I have no issues to be dealt with and I have not returned to the dealer since the day I purchased it. I'm not sure I have ever had another new vehicle that I could say this about, and that covers almost 50 years of buying new vehicles.

It has no rattles and everything works as intended. I have personally detailed this vehicle a couple of times, and you can tell a lot about how a vehicle is put together when you clean up every part of it. This vehicle is well put together and the fit and finish are excellent.

I can see some small things that could be improved, but I think you could say that of almost any vehicle that you purchase. Overall, in my opinion, it is a high quality truck with a lot of excellent features.

Just in...Toyota's US domestic sales have dropped three months in a row while GM's sales have risen each month in the same time period... also, GM regains world sales lead in emerging markets... if Toyota is so great why do their quality and sales rankings keep plummeting? Once the new Malibu is introduced, Toyota might as well shift their manufacturing to sushi or chopsticks or tinny sounding transistor radios instead of desperately trying to reverse engineer superior domestic offerings!

I'll take a F250 over a Tundra anyday...or a new Mustang Convertible rather than a bland Toyota in my opinion

I've seen the new Malibu. It is about the ugliest thing I've ever seen. The Camry is infinity times better looking, and more reliable. I guarantee this car will cause the downfall of GM (that is already pending). Oh, and Toyota is still on top, and always will be.

Your commenting on the reliability of a car that is not even on sale yet? I hate to burst your bubble, but the new Camry does not have the best track record, just check some of the reviews on this site. As far as styling goes, that is purely subjective and Toyota has never manufactured anything that will go down in history as a classic design. Not that the new Malibu is that great looking, but to say the Camry is infinitely better looking is more than a little stretch. I personally think Toyota's reign at number one will be short lived as it well should be.

14:09 F-250, huh? Does '250' mean the number of times it'll be in the shop in 3 years?

I've always get a good laugh every time Ford or GM introduces something new. The last new GM car I drove was a Chevy Cobalt, which felt like driving a dishwasher down the road, only with more plastic inside of it.

A good friend of mine just bought a brand new F-150. It's already in the shop for some weird hesitation. You push the gas pedal down, and it takes the truck about half a second before it decides whether it wants to move or not, then the drive shaft clunks and it lurches forward. I'm not impressed to say the least.

He traded in a problem ridden Dodge Ram that was in the shop for (let's see if I can remember them all) ; recalls for, wheel bearings that might cause the wheel to lock up or fall off, faulty seat belts AND air bags, a fine combination there... there were a couple of other ones, I forget them all.

Now he has a Ford. Years ago, after owning a Blazer, then an S-10, needless to say, he swore to never buy Chevy again. So he bought a Dodge. Now, he won't ever buy a Dodge again. So, he bought a Ford, which still has the new car smell, yet is broken already. The Ford garage told him the truck is SUPPOSED to hesitate.

OK. Like I said, I get a kick out of this. He's my friend, but is one of those guys, like many that comment on this site, who can't see the forest for the trees, and think that the Big 3's offerings are all he's allowed to buy. Poor guy. He keeps waiting for my Toyota's to break or go to the shop, so he can get on my case for buying one, but they never break.

Now, finally, he says his next buy will be a Toyota, and if he'd have just bought one in the first place, he wouldn't have lost money at trade in on the last five crappy domestics he traded in.
