The best thing they’re doing with the new gen is you can get a 6.5’ bed with a crew cab. Finally!

Proud owner of a 2012 Toyota Tundra SR5 TRD PRO. It's the best truck ever. I have 170.000 miles on it.

In July 2023 I bought a 2021 1794 Tundra in the Mesquite color. It had approximately 21500 miles and had been wonderfully maintained and came from Alabama. I live in northern Indiana so I was happy to find one which had not spent its first two years in the rust belt. I have had it undercoated and have added anti sway bars in both the front and rear. I plan to have the body exterior ceramic coated. I am 79 years old so I plan on keeping this Tundra until I pass on and enjoy it until then.

I have a 2008 Toyota Tundra Crew Max with 389,000 and it’s a Beast that loves to ride the Highway!!! 💪🏾👍🏾

Proud owner of a 2015 inferno Tundra trd pro here…

I have a toyota tundra 2008 4 wd crewmax I have 289,000 miles on it and its still going strong.

I have a 2007 Toyota Tundra Crew Max with the 5.7 V8. It only has 113,00 miles on it. It has been in my garage since I bought it on April 14th 2007. It is in the great color of Sand Mica. It is so easy to keep clean. Yes I love your list. Keep the videos coming.

I had a 2003 grey sr5 stepwise. My son borrowed it and it never came back. I loved it. It currently has 245,000 miles and is going strong. I just picked up a 2007 limited and don't miss my 03 anymore.It has 235.000 miles on it and doesn't miss a beat. Great trucks!

I just got my 2015 inferno last month, first Toyota truck. I love it so much hope keep for years to come

my dad had a 2011 xsp-x tundra he drove it all around the country it never gave him any problems

I have an ‘06 step side . I often use the steps built into the bed sides. Bought new, 125,000 miles, and just love it!

I have the 2020 Red crewmax. I love it I only have 14000 miles on it. It pulls my 24 foot camper trailer very easily. thanks for your video

I bought a new 1986 Xtra cab pickup, traded later for 1991 Extra cab truck, now I own a 1994 short bed and a 2018 Crewmax Platinum. I am 71 years of age and like the gentleman before me plan to drive it until I am gone.

Good list Mark. I would say you are #1 expert on Tundra's so it is hard to argue with that list.

Love your patch collection bro

I had a 2007 Tundra SR5TRD OFF-ROAD IN Silver…Absolutely loved that truck…

I have a 2010 TRD Sport 5.7L with TRD Supercharger. Super white Xtra Cab. I enjoy it more than I did my 2018 SR5. But all in all Tundra is .#1 on my list of favorites.

I have a 08 dbl cab grade 4x4 and still love driving it everyday !!! So I strongly agree with you list 👍🏼

and YES........as another comment mentioned.....It too loves to ride the highway and mountain terrains, (I love the click down shifter)

Nice picks here!

i own a 98 T100, have for just over 15 years. It has hauled my camper, fill dirt, cow manure, building supply's, ect and currently has a 250g water tank that i use to fill my cistern regularly. I would love a Tundra but wow do they want an arm an leg for them.........I did get a Sequoia(2002) two years ago and feel that the first gen Tundra is the go to truck if you actually use it as a truck. If looks are important, which is the case for most then your list is a good one.

Been driving the 06 trd yamaha edition. I've never enjoyed a truck more. Still have to drive newer gens, but thr 1st gen is a brilliant truck

Absolutely agree on the #1 07’ Tundra!! Great choice

I think thats a good list! I personally bought a 2003 Tundra new...still drivin it daily..250 k on clock. Its an oddball so to speak..Access cab..with Tacoma runnin gear..ie...3.4 Litre V6..190 hp..5 speed manual..very few and far between. It wont win any races..21 mpg if u drive 57 or so. It has been bulletproof..vhange oil ..full synthetic..every 3500 miles. Its basic and very dependable..run forever truck..so dependable .. 21 yrs later...dont use a drop of oil..between changes...thats my pick for the best in Gen 1...Gen 1 4.7 last forever also..with diligent maintenance..but poor gas mileage. Thanx for all you do for the millions of Tundra lovers..no matter the yr👍👍

It’s funny the first house in my subdivision has one in the driveway in mint condition!!! I look at it everyday when I drive by

I have the 07 tundra and I agree with you, trd Package w/leather and 4x4

My dads Tundra is a beast. Looks awesome too

2016 Tundra TRD Pro, in Magnetic Grey. I just didn't have it in me to get something like that in red.

Here is my question … my neighbor is selling a 2008 tundra with the 5.7 v8 max cab and it has 109000 miles for $14,000 is that too much …. Sorry but I’m not knowledgeable about Toyota thanks

I’ve been searching for Toyotas and rn the best deal near me i found was a 2007 with 170k miles for $14,000 so I think your neighbor is offering more bang for buck personally

# 1. .... my opinion, (you already referred to the '15 Pro), however, I believe the 2015 year was the best year for Tundra.

I own a tundra 2007 LONGBED extended cab. I bought it new, only owner. I feel that my truck is pretty rare. Not alot of 8 foot beds out there here in CA. It only has 80K miles!!! might be a record breaker.

Love your list, don’t disagree Mark. Having said that is there a current trim, or one on the horizon, that you think could possibly vie for a future spot on that list??

I love my 2017 TRD off road double cab in quicksand. The best color for a tundra and I know I’m just being biased.

Not biased at all. That color is amazing

I have a 03 tundra grey step side with 106000. 4.7 good engine just broke in! Lots of people like it but a few say it's ugly. Each to there on!

Platnium pgk Tundra is my all time fav!

T3 Toyota Tundra 4wd is the "Best". Only 650 are made. 2001 Toyota Tundra Ivan Stewart Signature Edition. Toyota Tundra Limited.

I agree all what you have said but I thought the number 1 is the 21/22 Lunar Rock TRD Pro.

Is it like your fav beer? “The one in my hand”? I FINALLY got one and just so thrilled!!! Coming from a few 4Runners (one a v8), it’s been awesome for room, function and the fam. Went for a Crewmax in the last two weeks of a 8 months search and SO happy we did. Fam loves it! Watched a lot of this channel to help make decisions.

I have an 07 Tundra double cab sr5 4.7 v8 with 228k miles and boy does it run like a dream! Hands down best truck I’ve ever owned and won’t be getting rid of it any time soon!

RCSB was a real gem

2019 SR5 MGM...I LOVE MY TRUCK

2013 Rock Warrior is the best, but I’m biased

Definitely would go with the Rock Warrior! If I remember right I think the warrior went on till 2012

I have a 2008 crew max 5.7 Ltd. 146000 miles only one big expense was the alternator.

I own a 2007 dbl cab 2wd Sr5, I’m in Tucson, AZ

Gen 1 Toyota tundra

For me it is the 2018-2019 Trd sport with cloth interior and body color panels factory no chrome and lastly the non jbl system I would have loved options for Trd pro suspension across the line up and I believe the Trd pro in 2015-2017 were only years of the double cab with the 6.5 bed as why I ended up with 2019 Trd sport 4x4 in mgm which is the best color imo Only if they offered solar octane in the previous generation

2019 voodoo blue Trd pro DC is #1

There's a really clean 2007 for sale where I live but it has 230,000 mi on it. Good price though

The unique 1st Gen step-side deserves honorable mention for garnering the most undeserved hate from people, but the #1 best 1st Gen Tundra were regular cab long bed V8 trucks with 2wd & 4wd. The #2 best Tundra are the 2007 5.7L regular cab Tundra, 2wd & 4wd, long bed or short bed.

I would like to know what you think or know about the Tundra with a 4.6 v8?

I’ve been researching used Tundras. Several websites are saying to stay away from the 2007. Mainly mechanically and for reported problems. So you wouldn’t hesitate to buy a 2007?

My 2011 2(1) wd - 4.6 245k miles... Secondary Air Valve $$2500 - 4k out of warranty at 154k & 2 alternators. 1 was covered on warranty went out after 35k. Otherwise great Truck as long as there is no snow or mud anywhere near

Weird comment. I live in iowa and my 2016 absolutely rocks it with snow and mud. My favorite time driving it is in deep mud and snow

My favorite Tundra gen is the 2nd gen, especially the model years 2014 - 2021. I agree that the 2007 Tundra, for that time, was the one that put the Tundra on the map and paved the road ahead for Toyota and even Nissan. The mid cycle fresh further improved the truck and for truck purist, I think it is the best truck. Toyota, unfortunately, could not do that with the 3rd gen, but at least they were able to learn from their mistakes and came up with the new Tacoma, which in my opinion is still the best overall mid-size truck.

Thank you for the content. Never was a fan of the step side. Totally agree with the 2007 assessment. I’m a long time Toyota owner. I currently have the 19 Tundra SR5 TRD Off Road and a 18 Camry XSE. Both are fantastic vehicles. My previous Tundra was a 13 SR5 and also performed flawlessly. I’m still of the opinion that Toyota missed huge with the latest generation of Tundra. No front tow hook!? It’s supposed to be a pickup truck, not a SUV with a bed.

I sort of agree with the last dude, Toyota ruined the double cab leg room on the new ones …. what were they thinking ?? wish someone could get the Tundra product team on the channel to focus on the DC and hammer them. Also do you remember then 2007 in that dark green with the early sort of 1794 interior color- that one is hard to find also but totally dope ! The 01 and the 07 dark Hunter green was smoking - being back the green 😮 Ok best Tundra though? The one your driving because it’s probably still running
