2009 Toyota Tundra CrewMax 4X4 User Reviews

Pros

Great engine, great 6 speed auto, lots of room, nice stereo

Cons

I have TRD 4x4, the ride is kidney jarring

Purchased As New

I sold my 2000 Tundra to get the new CrewMax 4x4. I didn't want TRD but that is what I could get a good deal on. Overall it is a great truck, the engine is powerful, I get 15-16 mpg with the 5.7 L V8, got about 1 mpg less in my 2000 4.7 L truck. This truck really moves witht the 403 lbs. ft of torque and 381 hp, more than I can use.
I have the upgraded stereo, the bluetooth works well and the stereo sounds nice. The electric rear window is a nice new feature, I have a german shepherd and can blow all the dog hair out the rear window.
The ride is pretty rough, this is a common complaint if you look on the tundra solutions website. I would like to get rid of the TRD suspension but can't seem to get a straight answer from the dealer if that will improve the ride quality and what the differences are.
The crewmax allows me to put my 6' 3" friends in the back seat with total comfort....read morehide

Pros

Power and Appearance in this truck are what make it special. Great clearance, power, power, power.

Cons

Gas Guzzler, sound system isn't the greatest. Toyota dealers are not the most flexible on price.

Purchased As New

I bought this truck because I am a Toyota man. I drove a 98 Tacoma for 11 years and just recently upgraded to the Tundra. The difference is amazing, the Japanese are making improvements in power and comfort every year. Forget Chevy, I test drove their 2009 models, no comparison. Its an embarrassment what has happend to our domestic producers. Furthermore if you are going to buy, try and get the dealership to throw in a 100K bumper to bumper warranty. I wish the Toyota dealers would flex more on price but you are going to pay more for a Japanese product....read morehide
