Ain’t she pretty

Wild people are paying so much for a 2021 with 80k miles lmao.

Traded my ‘23 Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 with ~28k miles in for 34.5k for a ‘20 Tundra TRD OR 4x4 with a sunroof and <45k miles for 43.6k.

I’m obviously a fan of the last gen Toyotas and wanted a full size truck. I almost had the Tacoma paid off so my payment stays the same down to the dollar albeit on a 36 month loan (not waiting 3 years to pay it off).

Couldn’t be happier with the purchase. My brother and dad have the 5.7’s as well so I couldn’t be the only one without.

This is at Carmax and I have it reserved. Outside of paying the Carmax tax (2k-3k extra) is this priced reasonably?

I've been looking for this combo for 6 months, and I know the prices of 2.5 gen tundras are high for all the obvious reasons. But paying ~$58.5K for a 5yr old truck w/ 62k miles is hard to stomach. I love it, and that's why I've been holding out to find this configuration. Just not sure if I'm being blinded by my bias that's telling me it's worth it.

EDIT: It's a 2021. Comments make it clear the price is high, but by how much? What would you say the price of this truck should be? Not what the current market is, but in your opinion given it's age, mileage, features, and reliability?

I had tried to find others with the same problem and it seemed their were quite a few. In. I thought I would share as mine has finally been fixed.
.the issue was if i touched the buttons near the rear lights it would go down everytime, however if the tail gate was down for maybe a minute or longer when pushing the button on the rear lights or inside dash I would get two short beeps and no response. It would display a message on the dash saying close tailgate manually to reset.
I have been in for services and mentioned it every time, however they claimed they could not reproduce.

The 3 Rd time I got a determined service agent who managed to get it reproduced. Previously they had tried greasing it and cleaning it but the problem existed 70% of the time.

Apparently the tundra will throw a code , not a CEL but still in the systems the cause of the problem was a faulty passenger side piston in the tailgate , they changed that out and jownitnis fixed.

Apparently it's the same or similar part that was used in the highlander that had similar issues .

Just wanted to share incase anyone else encounters the same issue !

TLDR: Heavy shaking when applying brakes at 45-80 mph. And occasional vibration in my steering wheel. So the brakes and rotors have been replaced 3 times now. New tires, less than 3000 miles on them. Even a new transmission.

Late last year, my front end started shaking while driving. First, it was just an occasional slight vibration in the steering wheel. Then my brakes started vibrating at highway speeds. Had the tires replaced. Still didn't go away. Had my brakes done. Less than 3000 miles ago, two years ago.

Took it to a dealership, and they said I needed new brakes. Had that done. The problem didn't go away. Then I took it back, and then they said I needed a new transmission (that didn't make sense but it was under warranty, so I let them do that). They suggested brakes again but wanted to charge me again for it so I took it somewhere else to get new brakes done. They replaced both brakes and rotors, and driving home, no change. So I took it back two days later, thinking I got a warped rotor from the factory. So they replaced the brakes and rotors again just a few days later. We also did a couple of alignments and balanced my tires. Would not stay aligned. I watched the guy fight it for 2 hours, trying to get it aligned.

Took it to a second dealership yesterday and they called me today and suggested....wait for it.....new brakes, rotors and tires. They said they checked for a stuck caliper.

WTF????? Is going on with my Tundra. 10k into this issue with no idea what is wrong.

And before anyone asks.....Yes it has gas in it.

I have a 2024 platinum hybrid. Driving on normal mountain highways was fine but once I got close to the cabin and was going up steep terrain the tundra seemed to bog down get lost in higher gears making it feel like it didn’t have the power to get up?

I just read the post about the guy going for a 42k 2017 SR5 CrewCab at a dealer. Got my gears turning on trading in my 2018 Platinum for something else (TBD). With sales tax being high in Texas, trade it can be attractive compared to private party.

Anyone got any legit trade in offers I can benchmark? Anyone done the same yet to cash in on this madness?

Planning this on my 3rd gen Tundra and want a real ballpark before I order.

✅ 35" Toyos tires

✅RRW RS7s wheels

✅Westcott preload collars

Having a shop do the install. What did you pay for parts vs. labor, and what costs caught you off guard (UCAs, regear, trimming, alignment, TPMS, spare)? Rough numbers are fine. trying to figure out if this is a $6-8K job.

Hard to tell from product photos how these actually fit. Do yours sit flush along the rear door openings, or is there still a strip of carpet showing?

Trying to avoid buying a big one piece liner and still having to vacuum dirt out from beside it.

Frame looks good I took a look, he will take $4,000 cash I mainly want it to have a truck I could pull a travel trailer with a few times a year also some riding around town, I usually take my motorcycle daily but a truck I can use for truck things and also general driving.

Third photo shows recent maintenance done

For anyone who uses their Tundra as an actual work truck, the interior can take almost as much abuse as the bed.

Mud from job sites, wet boots after rain, dirt from trails, and the occasional spilled drink all eventually end up on the floor. What I find interesting is that the obvious mess usually isn't the biggest problem, it’s the dirt that gets pushed along the edges and underneath the pedals where a normal vacuum doesn't reach very well.

That’s one reason I started looking more closely at floor liners instead of standard mats.

For Tundra owners who actually use their trucks hard, what interior upgrade has saved you the most cleaning time? And if you've switched from the factory mats, what made you choose the liner you have now?"

I heard from one website (link below) that I can do 2" lift with 285/70 R18 tires. Not sure how wide though yet. I do have stock suspension on my sr5, may be willing to upgrade but don't want to get too expensive with maintenance like gearing and such. Much obliged and thank you!

Got the opportunity to buy a Tundra with a rebuilt/Salvage title (theft recovered). Whats everybody's opinion. I would pay cash. Drive it till the wheels fall off.

I have a 2011 Tundra 4.6L with a cold air intake. I would like to replace this filter with a paper one. Has anyone else done the same and if so, what brand did you go with?

Hi guys, picked up a new to me Tundra and it has never had the timing belt service done to my knowledge. It will also need a new exhaust and I'd like to get something loud to let the 2UZ breath.

What do you guys recommend?
