The 2006 Toyota Tundra continues to impress potential Ford and Chevy converts. Continuing on its "smaller full-size pickup" theme, the Tundra still comes standard with a 4.0-liter V6, with an optional 4.7-liter V8. Few changes were made to the 2006 model in anticipation of a complete redesign for 2007. There are twenty variations available for 2006, as the Tundra exemplifies Toyota's pursuit to build a truck for everyone. Three cab sizes are offered, and available trims include base, SR5, Limited, and a special Darrell Waltrip Edition. The base engine remains the 4.0-liter DOHC V6 rated at 236 horsepower and 266 lb/ft of torque. The higher-end is a 4.7-liter DOHC 32-valve V8 rated at 271 horsepower and 313 lb/ft of torque.
What owners say
"The overall feedback on the 2006 Toyota Tundra is quite positive, with many drivers praising its reliability, power, and comfort. Owners particularly enjoy the smooth performance of the V8 engine and appreciate the truck's durability and longevity.

2006 Toyota Tundra Double cab V8 4.7L 4x4. Totally awesome.
July 24, 2022The 4.7L v-8 is probably the most reliable motor produced to date. The 4x4 provides the peace of mind to get you where you need to go.
February 20, 2021Extremely reliable truck with supremely smooth engine and transmission. Great size and look compared to larger full-size trucks. Plenty of power and hauling/towing capacity for any light duty truck task. Overall wonderful truck thats fun to drive, you can trust to get any on- or off-road job done, and will be low maintenance for well over 300k miles.

July 17, 2021Toyota is always a great truck just be sure that the frame is ok
August 30, 2023Good, reliable, long lasting vehicle. I highly recommend Toyota trucks.
December 7, 2021This was the last model year before the Tundra grew in size. The 2007 and up are too big for my liking. The 4.7 V8 is a terrific motor. However it is an INTERFERENCE motor and the timing belt needs to be changed every 70,000 miles or so. If there are no service records or proof of the last timing belt/water pump replacement, then youll have to factor in the cost of installing a new timing belt and water pump into the selling price. Also Toyota wasnt as liberal with changing out the frames with the Tundras as they were with the Tacomas. In searching for a 2000 to 2006 Tundra (or any truck for that matter), consider the frame and timing belt/water pump to be your #1 concern.
June 14, 2020This truck is awesome! I haven't had any issues out of this truck. It's done everything I've asked it to do and it looks good doing it. My friends are always impressed by how much room it has, especially in the back. They also love how the back window rolls down.
August 14, 2013Excellent 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.
April 28, 2013The Tundra double cab 4x4 can range from comfortably basic to dressed like a prom queen but one thing that’s not going to change with the G1 design is the incredible durability and longevity of them. They routinely go over 300,000 miles- and STILL sell for thousands.
February 5, 2021excellent acceleration, braking when hard is noticable pulls a loaded trailer from ball hitch with ease . average of 20 to 23 MPG on Highway 14 to 18 in the city. has been used as a family transportation since it's purchase in March of 2008
