Location: St. Germain, WI | This is what I can tell you about the tundra from my personal experience owning one. Mine is a 2010 I bought in 2012 with 40k on it, it is the double cab 6.5' box, 5.7, 6 speed auto, and 4.30-1 gears(factory). I currently have right about 125k on it, and in that time besides oil changes the only thing I had done was a tranny flush at 90k. Fuel milage was about 18-19 on the highway 16 in town and about 13-15 pulling my 20' tuffy dual console with a 150 on it. Mine has the towing package that comes with a tranny temp gauge. It has been flawless, if I had to pick on something that bothers me it is that the tranny will shift into 6th gear in town going under 40 mph, a slap of the shifter into the manual sport mode takes care of that. I have seen the long beds around but not very often. My milage has recently dropped off a little due to the 35" tires I mounted. Prior to the tundra I drove all 3/4 and 1 ton diesels, and due to a change of jobs I didn't require such a truck, I thought I would be miserable in a gasser but I have no regrets whatsoever.
