2007 Toyota Tundra SR5 from North America - All Comments

14:01 had to be the most confusing comment. If you bought a full size truck, did you buy it not to ever work? Why buy a truck at all?

I see the majority of the full size import commenters as the ones that only walk up and look inside. And then comment and be an expert on non owned vehicles.

Have you driven new 2008 full size trucks before you comment? I drove new ones and commented how they drove and performed. I have yet to hear comments on how carrying loads and towing anything with Toyota owners. It seems it's off road based.

How about some long distance tow comparisons to domestics. I tow up to 2 hours in intense heat on weekends with my Silverado with my family. Serves as a family vehicle and a fully functional full size truck. It runs great and no issues.

This will no doubt invite a compact truck comment about Tacomas. If you ride around solo, like the bouncy ride and go to a off road destination that's fine. Think about why people buy and need a full size instead of a mini pickup. It's because they need it for an application. I cannot see why the added fuel expense could be anything otherwise. I cannot own a small truck that cannot accomplish its intentions that I needed it for. Your small truck does not fit, so please quit beating it to death on here.

The subject of this review (Tundra) may soon be history, and no longer a point of debate one way or the other. Tundra sales have dropped drastically due to high gas prices, and Toyota is shutting down production of both the gas-guzzler Tundra and Tundra-based Sequoia.

Well here it is Jan of 09 and "the subject of this review" is still being sold. The shutdowns ARE because of slow sales and are being reflected by automakers all around the world including the domestics. But the shutdown in question here was temporary as are other current ones elsewhere. Hope for the sake of thousands of workers that this remains true.

22:18 ...best ride, comfort and handling are far superior with new GM Silverado. Since you have likely never driven a brand new Silverado, Tundra V8's I encourage others to take them both out and pick their favorite. I also maintain the ride in my Silverado is far better than the 15 year old Tacoma's poster as well.

I've also driven many small trucks, but not recently, it was back in 2000 so I am unqualified to comment on 2009 advances... At the time though the long bed, 2 whee. drive with street radials rode much better than elevated 4 wheel drive with hard riding off road tires.

The small GM trucks extended cab long beds at that time also rode better; was more car like in its driving, yet still a small truck was better than the others including Rangers.

The worst riding truck I have ever driven was a Splash; it was cute and cool, but had a little useless bed.

At least I am not commenting on old test drive comparisons indicating any level of expertise in 2009. Or pulling out a magazine and reciting info.

This is a chunk of misinformation oft quoted by the hopeful. You are misconstruing a temporary shutdown. Most automakers are taking similar measures with other models. Toyota just unveiled the 2010 Tundra. Like it or hate it, it's going to be around for awhile.

My two cents.

I've had a Chevy 1500 for five years, a Suburban for 4.5 years and 'til last year a Tundra for almost 2 years, and the most reliable and trouble free was the Tundra, and it was its ONLY good point which is very important for many pick-up lovers.

Comfort, look, torque hauling capabilities, and pleasure to drive, from my part, belongs on Americans. Time will tell if the Tundra will be as durable, because I can still see many Ford and GM pick-up trucks from the 80's and 90's with many hundreds of thousands of miles and still going, hauling and towing very strong, and their owners takes great pride of maintaining them..

You know some men prefer blondes, some the brunettes, and some prefer Asians, And no way you're gonna convince them to change their preferences. Now my "new" love is a 1996 station wagon Buick Roadmaster, 5.7 liter, faster, and more economical than many pick-up trucks, very comfortable, ugly like the Tundra, a lot cheaper to insure and maintain, and can also haul or tow almost anything, The worst point is I cannot go in the dirt like the 4X4 I've had.. If I have the chance to own another truck, it would be the DIVINE Escalade from Cadillac, this truck turns heads, I've driven once for 3 hours and it tops them all.. and I wouldn't care to change the transmission or the engine every year.. I want one! If only I could afford it.
