My brother quit buying Tundras because they just didn’t hold
up to hauling. He uses them as a contractor’s truck and sometimes has to pull a
flat bed with equipment on it. He said he had to replace the rear axle in every
one he has had, 2x on one of them. He bought a GMC to replace his last Tundra
[and they were a 100% Toyota
family]. Maybe some hauling capacity has improved in the last model year or so,
he went to GMC mid-2006.
BTW my Pathfinder says run only premium gas in it. I don’t.

The reports I heard on the news the other
day crucified the new Tundra saying that the tailgates were very defective,
mechanically they are a mess and the bed has been falling apart. I’d be
leery of purchasing one until Toyota
deals with the issues. They were also saying it appeared to be a Toyota problem overall for
2008 as the Camry has been fraught with issues as well (and that has always
been a very stable and top selling car).

When
I bought my last truck in 2004, the Toyota Tundra required 93 octane gas.
I.e., what
you might gain in mileage, you lose paying an addition 20 cents
per
gallon. Is this still true of the new Tundra?
