What does /o/ think about the Toyota Tundra?

>>17734276
first gen = best gen

I have a 2011. Awesome truck. Very powerful, capable, safe, reliable and well built.

How so?

>>17734276
Carries my 50 bmg pretty well

Because it's the one I have obviously.

It's also, imo, the perfect size truck and 90s luxury is everything you need and nothing you don't. Aftermarket is finally becoming a thing so now they can be built up. It's a seriously capable trug that can still be bought cheap because it doesn't carry the latest trendy tax associated with tacos/4runners/cruisers

The later generations got way fatter although also more powerful while maintaining god-tier reliability.

First Gen brakes are ass untill toyota fixed them

But they fit perfectly on a 3rd gen 4Runner.

Better pads and stainless lines make a surprisingly big difference. The 231mm upgrade is easy and can be done in under an hour if you can find some from an 05+ at a junkyard

Due to our regulations and tax its an impractical truck that I don't think I'd ever really want to own or live with

Nope. toyota kept the stock 16 inch wheel and 265 tire for the 05+ first gens

>>17734461

Its Toyotas answer to Canadians and Americans wanted a full size Toyota Truck

Well fuck. I have no excuse not too, beside poor af and needing to fix the rust before winter, to upgrade to tundra brakes on my 3rd gen 4Runner

It's a god tier truck, beats those piece of shit domestics in both reliability and resale value.

These trucks can make it up to 1 million miles with the original engine if you maintain it well. Try getting a Ford, Chevy, or Ram to rack that high with a gas motor. (You can't)

I'm sure it's alright at being a truck but holy fuck I hate working on them

Quite true. The Tundra just lands in this weird middle ground where having it registered as a normal truck means I can carry less and tow just a little bit more than a Hilux, and having it registered as a light truck means that I can utilize its full potential, but if so I could easily buy something thats way bigger and with a much higher carrying capacity and towing weight in the "light truck" class

I only have experience swapping it to earlier tundras. I can't say whether it's as easy on a 4runner.

>>17734276
I drove a ~'12 tundra and it was pretty horrible. It's a big, solid and extremely boring hunk of plastic. Just slight pressure on the gas pedal and it spikes up to 20+l/100 with no real power.

I just don't know if I could spend $60k on a new one when that buys you a much better domestic truck. Yeah it won't be worth as much in the end but it still gives you more bang for the buck.

>>17734276
worst in class.

It's good but big. 1st gen a best, especially because the 13WL brakes fit on my Taco
