Pros

Quality that is second to none - Toyota has the best trucks in the world

Cons

Only reason I can give to avoid this - wait there is no reason to avoid this truck.

Best Truck I Have Owned. — My Tundra is probably the best Truck I have owned. I have over 154,000 miles on it already and no problems yet. You cannot beat the reliability of Toyota vehicles - Don't listen to the media and the witch hunts of Toyota - they are one of the best built cars on the road. The interior space in this model year is good - I spend allot of time in this vehicle and like to drive it. The fuel mileage on my tundra is about 16 mpg - mixed driving - have had 19 mpg best and if all in town driving around 15 mpg. Not bad for a 4X4 that always has stuff in the bed to weight it down.

Pros

Passenger capacity of sedan plus hauling capacity of long-bed truck + excellent towing capacity.  Quiet enough interior with windows up to use speakerphone without other party complaining of noise.  Love the rear window fully lowers; open sunroof and all 4 windows  plus rear window almost like a convertible.  Great looking truck.  Strong V8 engine.  Excellent quality truck.

Cons

Turning radius is horrid.  Gas mileage is average for a truck but not as economical as newer trucks with recent engine innovations.  Long vehicle, so parking can be a challenge.

Excellent 3rd Vehicle For Times When You Need A Truck But Want It To Be Comfortable. — Excellent ride quality and reasonable interior noise levels. Roomy and comfortable. Feel "safe" in this vehicle. Overall length can pose a challenge to find parking; Gas mileage not great, but average for full-size double-cab long-wheel base truck..Great styling and workmanship.

My Tundra — I absolutely love my truck. The only thing I wish it was better at was making turns. I need a lot of space to make turns!

Can't Go Wrong With Toyota — You really can't go wrong with this truck or this model. It's an 06 but still looks just as good as every other Tundra out on the market. You treat it good with all vehicle maintenance and it will treat you good with reliability. People see it and can't believe it's an 06.

All in all this truck has been amazing all around.  Great truck!!

Cons

Access cab has limited rear space and doors are a bit of a pain having to open the fronts to open the rear doors

Amazing Truck — Truck has been awesome since I rolled it off the showroom floor back in 2006. It has been a great all around truck for towing the boat. IN all the years I have owned this truck only thing other than service was replacing the battery.

Nothing Beats All The Space I Have For Stuff And People — Awesome flatbed space (even better with a tonneau cover, pretty good mileage for a truck this big (about 17 mpg average), plenty of passenger space (fits 5 big people easy), quiet, and super comfortable. Fun rear electric window. You can haul anything too, lots of torque.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Toyota Tundra — Sucks on gas but everything else is good. 4x4 is push button on the fly via electric transfer case. Big interior, backseat has plenty of room for 3 people. Rear window slides down. Passenger rear windows slide alllll the way down.

Overall Fun Truck To Drive, But Ride Quality Sucks By Jonathan
