"The Domestics are good, but the Tundra is GREAT!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing has gone wrong.

Headlights are not very bright - replaced with Pia's and it still didn't help much.

General comments?

Wish I had the more powerful 2005 engine, but my '04 isn't really that bad.

I have the optional Borla Exhaust and it sounds fantastic!

Excellent quality truck.

Rides fantastic even with Off-Road package!

I've driven it off-road, hauled heavy loads and driven it hard and it doesn't show any signs of problems!

Best truck EVER!

You nailed it!

I have the same truck and it is by far the best truck I have owned. I have owned several ford trucks and used all the domestic American made trucks for work. This Tundra is the best by far!

No full-boxed frame, structural weakness, no low-end torque, falsified HP and Torque figures. Piston slap (engine noise) in early engine life. A pretender. Waiting for sae HP rating reviews and modifications. In one sentence, why a 235hp 4.7 jeep engine leaves a 285hp Iforce in the dust. Without sludge!!!

Car and Driver also rated Camry DEAD LAST in a comparison of Accord, Fusion, Hyundai Sonata and Camry. The Tundra isn't Toyota's ONLY loser.

22:37, Dead last at what?

More people like them than Fords, more people buy them than buy Fords, they have higher resale value than Fords, lower cost of ownership, get better gas mileage, and have won WAY more awards over the years than any Fords, so how are they dead last?

If they'd ranked the Fusion dead last (which is accurate) you guys would have said that Toyota's advertising bought them a good endorsement from Car and Driver, and that they are biased against Ford, or domestics in general. So, I can do the same: I'm guessing Ford paid somebody at Car and Driver a lot of money to even bother testing that Fusion piece of crap, and then paid them some more to say anything good about it. Because anybody with any sense knows the Camry and the Accord are at the top of that list, and any Ford car is at the bottom.

With over 90K miles on my 2004, while not my best financial decision, the comfort and sense of security I get on the road makes me feel good.

The most dangerous problem/defect with the vehicle was the ball joint. I have driven it from N.J. to Toronto Canada, N.J. to Ohio and make regular weekend trips to D.C. metro area. My average highway speed is 85m.p.h and it is scary to believe that my vehicle front end collapse to the ground driving at 20 m.p.h. a couple days after returning from Canada with my family driving at speeds over 100 m.p.h. IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD THE BALL JOINT RECALL TAKEN CARE OF, PLEASE DO NOT WAIT ANOTHER DAY.
