Hope this is helpful to some of you. Many people have asked for a solution so I am sharing.
I have about 1250 miles on my Tundra (5.7L Dbl Cab) and no complaints so far. My only concern is that this truck is a "rocket" and I don't want any speeding tickets.
Question, considering n-fab nerf step. like the look and I don't anticipate heavy off-roading even though I have a TRD D-cab. What do you think? Anyone else want to give their two cents it would be much appreciated.
It is supposed to be for lifted setups but should work on Tundra.
Also I looked at the '07 Expedition before buying my '08 and mileage numbers are totally different ('07 14/20) ('08 12/18) same models just different years why is this???? :confuse:
For most drivers now we will all exceed the new EPA numbers.

I recently went to my Toyota dealer for service on our 05 Sequoia and "bounced" all the trucks on the lot ,, just jump on the rear bumper... All the Tundras ,except the standard cab model, did the deed It must be that the frame is too thin and springy or the bed mounting is too puny????
Oh yeah,,, I didn't notice the same effect while "bouncing" the Chevys........ See what the 08's do....

Get a lifetime tire balance warranty at a Midas or something, and have it checked if you notice a drivability problem. Might as well do the same for your alignment. Can never be too careful.
These aren't warranty issues. Stuff happens.

Cons
1. Bed bounce. I live in Southern California where we have many concrete freeways, some of them make my Tundra bounce so bad that if I'm talking my voice wobbles and my insides feel like there coming loose. The Toyota service mgr told me that the rear springs are 3/4 ton. He also suggested to me to add five 50 pound bags of sand to the rear of the bed. I did and the bounce is almost gone. My belief is that the frame flexes or oscillates. (It rode about the same as my sons F250 before the sand)
3. Towing mirrors. Totally hide small cars on your right at a 4 way intersection (very dangerous). I hate them. 4. Radio stinks and Toyota wanted $300 just for the parts to add XM. Added an Alpine with XM for slightly more than the just the parts price at Toyota, and it sounds incredible.
5. The front of the truck sat to low. (Added a 4" leveling kit to the front and now sits perfect (maybe it even helped the ride a little.)
Pros
1. The seats are by far the most comfortable I have ever sat in.
2. Love that power and sound from my 5.7 (awesome). Pulled my 5000 pound boat effortlessly. Gets better mileage than my previous Ford F150. 15.5& 18.6 (I just added an undercover tonneau cover should get about 19 on hwy)
Summary
I really love my truck, would buy again in a second.
Buttoy will tell you the truck will explode. Cover your tail.

Funny how I know more about the issues with the Tundra than a Toyota "Employee" (don't dare say salesman). But my guess is you do know about the issue, but choose to try to keep it under your hat. Typical "Employee".
It's about Tundra owners and their reactions. If I'm not mistaken you own another truck, one that's having some difficulty in keeping up with the surge in Tundra sales.
There has to be a way for you to set up a 'Let's Bash the Tundra' thread. You can have that one all to yourself.
How could you possibly know what I own? All you can assume is that it ISN'T a Toyota. Which is correct.

If you jump on the rear bumper, can you feel the same sensation????
I have to say, until the '07 Tundra came out it was always the usual "we're better" stuff on the web. Now that Toyota has come up with a machine that beats them at their own game, it seems to be like the Big 3 lovers have gone crazy. Every board you visit on the web is full of completely unbelieveable levels of Toyota bashing, complete with fake identities and sob stories later shown to be completely fabricated.
The level of fear and loathing of Toyotas in these guys makes me think that there must be something real to be afraid of. That alone made me decide to go test drive a Tundra when I get a chance. Not a fan of the looks but resale value, power, capacity, quality, and refinement all seem competitive or superior.
I'm sure Tundras have some teething problems. But ask ourself. If Toyota came out with a real dog of a vehicle that never sold, would you be seeing so many bashers lurking? My experience is 4 years with a previous Tundra and minimal problems, and a year with a Tacoma and zero problems. Can't say the same for the Dodge and Chevys I've had. Ford did ok, though.
They're still around, so I guess they're doing something right. I'd say they're worth a shot.

It's all just words on a computer screen. The true test of the new Tundra will be how the truck holds up over time. A good friend of mine has one and it's been good to him. Certainly no worse than the two Sierra :lemon: 's that he had before it...
A quick search

Plenty of high mileage Tundras out there, pretty good indicator of how they hold up over the long haul.
Toyota is probably loving the attention they're getting. All the negative postings just reinforce how strong a contender the new Tundra really is. It's the last domestic stronghold here in the states that they need to get into. And as long as they continue to build them here then I have no reason to hope for failure. :shades:
10/02/2007
October 2, 2007 - Torrance, CA - Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A. (TMS), Inc. expanded the Tundra full-size pickup truck lineup for 2008, adding 13 new model variations and enhancing standard equipment levels to create a greater value. The 2008 Tundra now offers a choice of 44 model variations in three cab styles. Since its introduction in February 2007, Tundra's share of the half-ton full-size pickup truck segment has more than doubled, going from eight to 17 percent.
"Tundra has been an outstanding success for Toyota and its dealers, and additions to the 2008 model line are intended to maintain our momentum," said Bob Carter, Toyota Motor Sales group vice president and Toyota Division general manager. "Despite tough market conditions, Tundra retail sales were up 57.9 percent through September YTD, and we are on track to achieve our goal of 200,000 unit sales for 2007."

I have changed my own oil at 3k, now 4.5k rolls around and this message appears.
Has anyone else reset this message on their own?

Go to Edmunds and price out the truck you want with all the options. Get the Dealers Invoice (Cost) and the MSRP price.
Also go to Bluebook.com and do the same thing. You will see that the wholesale and MSRP prices on both sites should be the same.
After adding all you options you want add it all up and get the dealers cost. From this figure add any profit you want to that figure. Based on the demand of the truck you want will dictate how much over their cost you are willing to pay. Forget about MSRP it is worthless and shouldn't ever come into play. The only other costs you are required to pay is the freight charges and tax and license. All the other addons are BS. Realize even if you paid the dealer his invoice price (What the Manufacturer charges him) the dealer still gets a "REBATE" from the manufacturer. Toyota I think it is around 2-4%. Since I don't know where you live I don't know what additional factory addons are required in your area of the country. That is why it is good to go to Kellybluebook.com because they break down required equipment for different areas of the country. I know the dealer you are dealing with is a crook because he is trying to get you to pay for 2% HOLDBACK which is the REBATE that the manufacturer PAYS the dealer on the sale. Now why would you pay for money that the dealer is getting from the manufacturer? I hope you didn't buy from this dealer. It is making me mad just thinking about it.
Always remember, once you have the DEALERS COST you are in the drivers seat. Now you can decide how much profit the dealer will make. Otherwise leave and go to another dealer. As I said the REBATE, or HOLDBACK is paid to the dealer by Toyota so even if he sold you the truck at invoice he would still be making money. Also,never discuss payments with a dealer until you negotiate the price of the new vehicle. The payments flow from the price of the vehicle not the other way around. Also never take the extended warrently BS. This is the highest priced insurance you can buy. I have a 7 Toyotas and I never needed any extended warrently.
Good luck to you and I hope this has helped in some small way. I bought a new 2007 Tundra DC and I paid $2,600 below the dealers cost. Since I live in Idaho the guys here only like the US makes, Chev, Ford, Dodge. I had a lot of bargaining power and it helped big time with the price.

The manual says that the odometer must be listed when turning the key to the off position.
Instead, to the following:
With the engine running or the key in the "ON" position, make sure that trip A is displayed.
Turn the key to the off position.
Turn the key to the ACC position.
Press and hold the trip reset button.
Turn the key to the "ON" position while holding the trip reset button.
Keep holding the trip reset button until the display says Maint Reqd Soon Reset COMPLETE .
This will require at least 5 seconds to hold the trip reset button down.
