I have a 2007 Toyota Tundra Crew Max with the 5.7 V8. Bought it new. It has been the best truck I’ve ever owned. A classic. Tundra V8 5.7 FOREVER.

Just got a 2013 Toyota tundra and love it. I got it for 22k with 64k miles on it original everything. My first truck 5.7L V8… BEAST. I plan on babying it and making it last a long time.

I have a 2007 Tundra Limited 5.7L 4x4 double cab, bought it new and it is still going strong with 150,000 miles on the clock. Best truck I have ever had. I do all my own maintenance and the engine is still in great shape.

I got a 2010 crew max Trd off road package n has over 500,000 miles on it n it’s still running great. Definitely a workhorse it is n love it.

14-21 is my favorite generation. I own a 21' TRD Sport Premium, 5.7L 4x4 and it is the best truck I've ever owned. Bought brand new, have around 55k on it, the truck is flawless, not 1 problem. Yeah the truck is a bit dated in tech, being as it is the last year of this gen, but that's what makes it special. I'm going to drive this truck until the wheels fall off.

If the 07-13 truck would've had a 6.5' bed on the crew max, and an integrated brake controller it would have been literal truck perfection!

I just picked up a 2012 tundra platinum crewmax with only 55k miles in immaculate condition. I love it and couldn't be happier.

Thanks for the video. I had no idea the backseats were different from 07-13 to 14-21.

Stumbling around you tube looking for Best seat covers for my 2019 dbl cab and came across this video, and I must say I watched allot of your videos back when I first got my Tundra , and now@ 98k miles watching this video, I just want to say thank you for the Tundra enthusiasm in all the you do and all that you have done for the Tundra community.

I'll never give up my 2018 TRD DC 4x4. It's meets all of my needs. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for recognizing those of us still driving the Gen 2’s. I still absolutely love my 12 Platinum. And to hear you point out so many features on this generation that I know I love was just really cool. Thanks man

TundraDude, thanks for the trip down memory lane. I’d prefer the column shifter that I had on my 2013 DC over the console setup I have now with current 2018 TRD DC. The fold down console in the split bench was plenty big enough. I felt great on long trips to be able to move right leg around.

Great video Tundra dude! About time the early 2nd gen gets some love !

A little late to the party but this vid rocks. Great overview on Tundra & your opinions on all the options, features, and little tics are 100% shared. '07 - '13 YES! Thank you.

Agree completely! I have the 2007 DC Limited 4WD with the 5.7 L and the TRD package. People come up to me all the time and start conversations about my truck (minimal mods including 2" lift and other little things, nothing huge), and they are floored it's a 2007! I currently have 257,000+ miles on it, and I plan on driving it a couple hundred thousand more. Bed vehicle I've ever owned! Thanks for the awesome video!

I've owned 9 Tundras since 02 now own 2020 TRD Pro my favorite no problems with any of them , best most reliable trucks ever made .

Right on dude! I have an 07 regular cab short bed that i love, I use it for work and i keep it running good and clean. I'll keep it as long as i can. 340,000 miles on it

I absolutely agree, 07-14 was the best. I'm a proud owner of a silver 07 regular cab short bed 4x4 with the 4.7 only 50k miles. I have a 3' lift with nice aftermarket wheels and meaty tires. Also a Gibson dual exhaust that sound so good. This is the 2nd 07 Regular cab I've owned, the first one had the column shift while the second one has the console shift. In hindsight I prefer the column shifter, feels more roomy and is more oldschool unique by today's standards. One cool thing about the regular cab is the passenger seat folds down to make a flat surface also to access the space behind the seats which is huge for a regular cab. The seats can also recline very far back unlike the Big Three regular cabs, also how incredibly wide the doors are compared to all other Tundra configurations. The Regular cab short bed Tundra is a rare breed that I feel honored to drive. The looks and design really have stood the test of time, I constantly get compliments from random people.

100% agree! I bought a 5 year old black 2007 5.7 double cab SR5 4x4 with a column shifter. 225k. Still runs strong! Tow with it every year!

Great Channel I will Never get rid of my supercharged 16 tundra! I love that truck Zero issues and rides just as smooth as when I bought it. Im in the market for another Pick up but im not 100 percent sold on the new tundra, Happy New Year!

I know this was about the 07-13 but my parents have a 2016 Tundra TSS 4x4 with all bells whistles on a 3 inch lift with big tires and I absolutely love it! Any time I visit I make an excuse to go run an errand just so I can drive it:)

Thanks for info, I have a 2005 tacoma and love it! No issues, but a little small so I’m trying to get something with a little more towing power for weekend stuff and comfy for the fam

Love your channel tundra dude 😎

Good video. I just bought a 2007 Tundra double cab 4x4 4.7L. Low miles one owner and it drives like a new truck. Love the look of the 2 gen Tundra's.

My first Tundra was a 2008 SR5 Double cab 5.7 4x4 in Desert sand mica. Loved it. I now have a 2018 crew cab platinum black on black leather love it.

Just bought a 2013 Toyota Tundra “Rock Warrior” and man oh man am i in love already😂

I drove a 2013 Tundra Doublecab 4x4 and put 300k miles on it, and then bought a 2021 Crewmax. There was a lot i missed about my 2013. Felt the 2013 had more power and the shifting was smoother and more consistent. Interior felt more robust and tougher. Fit and finish was better than my 21. I agree that the 2007-2013 were better trucks. Not saying my 21 isnt a great truck because i absolutely love my truck! I test drove a few 22 tundra and they feel like a rattly tin can. They feel cheap despite looking amazing interior wise.

I got my 07 double cab 2 wheel drive, brand new. 5.7. Sttill rolling today at 325k miles. Oil change every 5k. Very few issues over the years. Getting 17mpg today, and rides great.

I’m in year 2 of owning a 2010 CM 4x4 Grade and freaking love it. The interior space surprises me every time especially when driving with the family. Toyota definitely got it right with these trucks

I'm a sedan guy but I'm looking to get into a truck now. I've been eyeballing the Tundra and really like the reviews on it. Thanks for your help!

...have a 2007 single cab 5.7 V8, SR5, leather, longbed, bed cover, spray bedliner, black nerf side bars & added michelin defender tires with 29000 miles. Bought it about 9 years ago with 8K miles when trucks where plentiful & no one wanted a single cab. Approx 1900+ payload & approx 1000lb hitch weight. It's a beast, great video. Thank you

My dad has a 2013 4.6 90k double cab. I just changed all fluids including transfer case/diffs. We just acquired a 2012 4.6 double cab 66k. I just did all fluids on that and painted/under coated the frame because we live in the rust belt. Love them both, they run the same...great.

I have a 2013 Toyota Tundra crew max with the 5.7 ltre engine and in the 7 years Ive owned it all i had to do is regular maintenance,oil , brakes, wipers and tires. Best most reliable truck i ever owned and i owned fords chevys and GMCs.

I just purchased a 2011 Crew Max SR5, with the 5.7 engine. It has 205,000 miles on it and runs like new. I'm given it some TLC right now, but it's still in great shape. I really like Ford and Chevy, but they don't compare to the Tundra. I have a 2023 4Runner TRD PRO, which I really like, but there is something about driving the Tundra with the 5.7 V8 that's brings out the teenager in me, (i'm 64). Love the Tundra - it's the best. I'm on my 5th one and they were all great trucks.

I have a 2013 DC SR5 two wheel drive with a 4.6. No rust, southern truck bone stock and excellent condition with only 88K miles. It’s a great truck and I’m lucky to own it.

I have a 2013 Crew Max and love it!! Best vehicle I've ever had. 20" wheels. ❤

Hey Mark. William here in Charlottesville, Va. I still have my Nautical-Blue, Double cab, SR5 2013 Tundra and in my opinion it’s the best truck I’ve ever owned. I still absolutely love it! It’s a 2013 and I still only have 56,870 ORIGINAL miles! It’s garage-kept and I’m excellent condition. I drive my old 1994 Toyota pick-up as my daily driver so that’s why I’ve been able to keep the mileage down.

I’m on my second tundra. First was a SR5 double cab 4wd. Put 62000 miles on it in one year with no issues. Went all over the country buying cars pulling my 20’ trailer. Sold it to buy something with less miles. Bought a 15 Silverado LTZ Z71….after a month I’m back in a 14 tundra but this time went with a platinum crew max. Love it

Totally get where you're coming from I own one of the first first jeans 2000 SR5 access cab freaking love the thing but I'm hoping to soon upgrade to a little bit newer one

Holy S**T! I've owned an 08 Crew Max for TWO YEARS and only now learned that the back seats recline! Good to know!

Replaced my 2006 SR5 crew cab with 2017 dble cab, 5.7, SR5 w/TRD package. Perfect truck - does everything I need, minimal tech stuff.

I still have my 2007 Tundra X-SP 2wd 5.7. leveling kit and 1" lift in the back with 34's all around. 167000 miles and she drives better today than when I got her in 2009. She's a keeper.

Interesting history of the Tundras. I really didn't pay them much mind while I drove a Taco for 15 years. I was looking for another Taco when I got talked into test driving a 20 Tundra Pro. It was love at first drive, and game changing for me. I'm still loving it.

On my second Tundra now, it's a 2008 with the 5.7 installed a catback exhaust system and a K&N air filter, I love that damn truck.

I have a 2010 tundra .I have had lots of Chevy an fords no comparison absolutely 0 problems.I’m a tundra owner from now on Love it

Long live the 2007 crewmax with the 4.8 engine, loved that truck, now have a 2020 with the 5.7

I have a 2012 Tundra CrewMax with the 5.7. One of the best vehicles I've owned! LOVE IT!

I liked your review, and might add, that I purchased a new 2007 Tundra Limited in early 2007. I still have it as my everyday truck. It had a lot of special features at the time. I was the first of my friends to get the new model Tundra, and after driving it, 3 of my friends went out and purchased the 4 door extended cab version for themselves. Now after 17 years we all still have the same truck. I believe mine is the lowest mileage at 88k, and I never intend to sell or trade. My son wants it when I eventually pass. I told him he would have to wait for awhile.

I bought the 2007 Tundra crew max 4X4 5.7. I have over 200K miles and I still love this truck

Just recently got an '09 Double Cab with the column shift. Great truck.

Bought my 2008 5.7 crew cab 4x4 about 6 years ago. 1 owner only 47k miles. Now sitting on 75k miles. Loving every moment with it. 6 seater!!

My 2011 DC was the best truck I've every owned hands down. I've owned all the brands & models over the years. And I say it driving a brand new Tundra today.

I lucky with mine , i got a 2011 tundra trd off road package with 100,000 miles , no dings ,dents , great interior no issues , double cab for 18k .. i cant complain , its been a solid reliable hard working truck and ive never had to worry if im going ti need to call tripple aa

Love Tundra's! I have a 2005. Boyfriend bought his 2013 new ... Awesome truck as well. So sad... His tundra was totaled a few days ago. Truck saved his life. He was smashed from the back and projected to the vehicle in front of him on the freeway with no warning. He and I loved that double cab adventure truck. Traveled on the road (with our kitty copilot!) for solid 2yeara with a truck camper and garage trailer (hauling motorcycle and other toys). Towed great with that load. Many ppl approached us asking how well our tundra does pulling that weight. They sounded concerned. We were not.We set it up correctly and we're good to our truck and she was good to us. It was the best tundra. So sad it gone. Many happy memories. We are Toyota people and specifically love Tundra's. Now the search is on for a new to us tundra. Probably between 2014-2021. Again it is so sad when any tubdra is creamed, let alone your own! And... One that was well cared for, no problems no rust... It was in great condition! A 6 seater. More rare. Great truck. Be safe out there. So many bad drivers. Sometimes there's No notice when someone plows into the back of your rig on a busy freeway no matter how good of a driver you are. Was so sad to see his truck smashed and the airbags went off as well. So glad he is ok Solid truck. Search is on for another.

The second gen was great, but I think the 2.5 gen (specifically the '14 to '17) tundra was the best (no TSS nanny warnings). I love my '18 SR5 DC, but I wish I had been in the market a year earlier.

I bought the '16 CM... if i had it to do over again, I would have picked up the double cab instead.. though its really not a huge deal either way. Truck is all I would ever ask for in a truck.. coming from an '01 tundra

I just recently found an '08 double cab with only 74k miles on it. Full history of dealership maintenance since brand new. Could not pass that up! It's a low trim level (Tundra Grade) but there's so much I can do with it in terms of upgrades and fun projects.

I went to Denver from Erie Pa to pick up a high mileage 213,000 , 2007 Tundra CM. I wanted something that was rust free and you can't find that in Pa, Ohio or NY so I drove my rust bucket 2013 Silverado out there to trade it in. I paid 15,900 for my 2007 and I drove it home off the lot without a hiccup. I did a lot of things to the Tundra when I got it home, and it wasn't cheap to bring all the maintenance up to date but it was worth it. The truck runs and drives like new. I wouldn't hesitate to ever buy another high mileage Toyota. The things are bomb proof if you keep up with the maintenance....

I have the same green 2010 tundra loaded TRD 130K still looks and runs great always garaged it may be my last truck you can’t go wrong

I agree on your favorite mine also I have a 2011 double cab with a six and a half foot bed second owner only had 9k miles about 130k now has a shell I used for my Plumbing business plenty of room! With the Hemi it's like a performance truck very fast even though it weights 7,000 lbs.

Just bought my used traded in dealer serviced since new w full records, no accidents. A 2012 5.7 DC 4x4 135k miles, on Feb 2023. Its now Sept 2023. No probs at all. Drives great. Like an OG luxury car.

Passed on that new computer on wheels and bought a 2021 limited with the trd-off road package in cement

Bought an '08 double cab TRD Off Road in pyrite mica about a year ago. One owner, 155,000 miles and the interior was like new. The stock suspension was shot so I installed the Eibach front coilover setup that comes with the springs and the leveling already set along with rear shocks. It rides fantastic now. Added an up to date stereo system and that's it. Put about 10,000 miles on it since I had it as a daily driver. Nothing rattles, it rides great, engine makes no noise and runs like a sewing machine, transmission shifts like new. I paid top dollar at the time, $16,000 but you would be hard pressed to find another truck like this one it the condition it is in. I see a ton of old Tundras as work trucks every day and I know why. As reference, I've owned a 2006 first gen, great trucks but the fit and finish left a lot to be desired, and a 2015 which I should have kept.

I own 2008 toyota sequoia limited love it much respect for the Tundra trucks

I've got an intersting silver 2011 SR5 DC 4x4 with the 5.7L. It's interesting because of all the add ons that I think were dealer installed like black leather interior, skid plate, spray-on bed liner and side window deflectors. From the factory it came with power seats, power rear window, back up camera, fog lamps and cold winter package. All this to say it's a loaded SR5 which I really like and it doesn't have things I don't care about like a touch screen on the center console. I've put the brushed aluminum wheels on it along with Falken Wildpeak AT3 tires. It's a great truck that's got power when you need it but is also a smooth comfortable ride that can be driven daily, the best news is mine only has 127k miles on it...

Ive owned the 2000, 2013, 2014, and 2019. One thing you didnt mention was all of the different colors you could get back then. Even interior colors were more varied. Now, look around. The SR's and SR5's can be had in any color as long as its white, black, silver, or gray. And seems you get a grey interior on everything, no variation. And yes, the interior features on an SR5 trim level on the 2nd gen were amazing. Had to upgrade to Limited or Platinum on the later models to get many of the little details that came standard on the earlier SR5's.

I'm with you on the CD's. I miss them too. I still have my collection of CD's and can't play them in my 21 TRD Pro.:(

I have the 2004 Tundra Limited with 260,000 miles. In 201I drove it from South Louisiana to Tacoma Washington and back TWICE!! Best Truck ever!

Good video! I have a 2006 tundra sr5. And looking to update.

Just got myself a 2017 crew max 4.6L with just shy of 100k miles. I live in Texas so mileage is typically high on trucks out here. Runs great interior is mint and i just love it. I don’t see myself getting rid of it

Have a 2008 5.7 w 290000 mile’s run great. Actually like it better than my 2019 limited

Have a 2008 sr5 198;677 miles pull a 7100 lbs 5 th wheel,the frame is rusting ,put yellow sumo springs on definitely helped the squat,wish payload was higher than 1345 lbs,but the 5.7 is amazing.

The technology of the new 22' tundra is really great, but you can change the inside all you want. The heart of the "older" beasts won't die. Being a first time owner of a 21' 1794 is an AWESOME experience but also satisfying in the fact that I purchased one of the best and last of the 5.7 V8 engines that won't die, unlike the new generation, but that's just my ¢3. And I'm not hating on the new generation owners, in fact I congratulate them and hope they get everything they need and hope for in a TUNDRA. ....... 5.7 LITER V8 FOREVER 🤗

I just bought a 2011 Tundra TRD Limited 4x4 with 68,000 miles for $22,000. Awesome truck with everything. Heated seats, pivoting headlights, collision avoidance, back up camera, navigation, power rear window, power adjustable seats with lumbar and leg height adjustment. Has the 5.7 liter v8 with the bulletproof 6 speed transmission. Immaculate condition. After 3 months I'm already in love with this truck!

Solid video and very interesting thank you. You’re gonna laugh but my wheels are the ones on my truck a 2005! Anyway I did have a question do any of these engines have direct injection or cylinder deactivation? It’s some thing I’m trying to stay away from. Thank you.

I have had three Tundras starting with an 07, then 12, now a 2015 I put air levelers on all three, and I've pulled max load even a little more with no problem and I now pull a goose neck trailer and my 2015 pulls 11000 lbs with no problem it is a double cab two wheel drive 6 and a half foot bed. Oh my 2015 has 315, 000 miles and it runs great. No replacing a 5.7 V8 with a six it won't last like the V8.

I came across a 2007 Toyota Tundra on a popular auction website approximately a year ago. It had a little over 14,400 on the odometer. first owner was a retired gentleman who occasionally drove it to home depot. The individual I purchased it from had clayed the paint. Other than some scratches and small dents, it is in amazing condition! All I wanted was simple trunk. I paid way too much for it, but figuring inflation, I didn't do too bad. The only issue I have is the drive tran

My favorite was my RWD 2000. Not having all the weight of a 4WD made that truck feel like a sports car on take off.

2014 double cab - I am very happy the back seats fold up for my very large dogs 😊

2012 rock warrior here, bull bar with LED, bully dog tune. 140k miles, I feel like it’s not broken in yet

Proud owner of a 2013 trd off road with bds lift kit bamf rock sliders and 18x35 inch mud terrians! 106k miles

Yes sir, if you don't want a 1st gen Tundra the 2007 to 2013 Tundra are the best. I drive a 4.7 2002 regular cab long bed, and a 5.7 2007 regular cab short bed ... BOTH are SR5 Unicorns with split bench seating. The 2002 is my dedicated work truck that my clients take comfort in seeing me drive up in these past 20 years - that's two decades driving the same work truck. My 2007 is more of a sport truck that I drive for fun, or when conditions like driving into Atlanta warrant more safety features... I would not want to part with either on of them. I replaced the head unit in the '07 for Bluetooth capability that I never use... it has a single CD player, and I will investigate adding a changer because I also love me some CDs. The 2002 has a factory 6 disc changer with amp... it works great.

I just bought a 15' sr5 double cab with the 6.5 bed. It has the 4.6. It drives great but is definitely underpowered compared to what im used to. It doesn't really get any better gas mileage than my gmc with the 6.0 on the freeway. 4x4 works great aand theres many things i like about it. I just couldn't find the same thing in my price range with the 5.7. I hope the Toyota reliability makes up for it. It will be a good mountain truck this summer.

I had a 2011 double cab. Truck was bullet proof. bought it with 7 miles on it and traded it with 123,000 miles. not one issue during ownership.

2+ gen is the best...so far. Love my 14 CM, TRD, LTD. It's been rock solid, but I'm still looking forward to my 23 1794 max.

I just scored a 2011 tundra double cab SR5 with 125k one owner, I'm excited to own this generation as I have seen its capabilities over the last 15 plus years.

I loved my 08 Crew Max. Unfortunately I had a motor failure and now I have a 2022 double cab.

I have a ‘21 Tundra sr5 cm of mgm and it is my fav because it is the 14th year of small, incremental improvements year by year. Except for the fact they took out the trans cooler, it is truck perfection!

I agree 100% gen 2 tundras are the most distinctive and most versatile version of the Tundra. They still hold their value like crazy. If only they weren't so prone to rust-out!

I have an 07 double cab limited 5.7L 2wd. Awesome truck.

I have a 2013 double cab and it's awesome. With only 93000 miles

13’ 184,000 miles and still love it !

im coming up on a year of owning my 2013 CM 5.7 and other than gas mileage, i absolute love this truck. i want a sequoia to go along with it!

I’ve had 3 tundras! And to this day my favorite was the double cab TRD miss it way more than my 1794 or my limited crew cabs

Just got 2010 tundra with vvti v6.amazing pickup

Yes, second generation of Tundra's are still my favorite!

2008 DBl Cab 5.7 Limited. Bought it new. 130k. Zero issues. Will keep it til it drops. Best vehicle I’ve owned.

I really liked the debadged, no chrome rock warrior models. I looked hard for one when I needed a new truck. That being said - I was able to find a used 2021 sr5 TRD off-road with all the upgraded amenities (radar cruise, bigger gas tank, etc) in 2022 when everyone was trying to get the new tundra. Honestly - I was between this truck and the trail version- but the trail version wasn’t readily available in my area. Either way- I’ve got everything I need with this truck, and if I end up towing more later I can add a transmission cooler. I currently use it to drive on the beach, hunt, camp, go to the range. I’ve outfitted it with go rhino running boards and decked drawers in the back. I do wish I got the double cab and not the crew cab, but I’m not getting rid of this truck any time soon

My second comment on your channel today. I love my 2011 Double Cab SR5 with 6.5 ft bed (other than the milage.) Bought it with 112,000 miles and it drives like new. I've added a cabover contractor's canopy (only 600 lbs) that serves as an economy camper and cargo hauler. I mounted solar panels on top so I have remote power and heat if I need it. The ride is excellent with minimum road noise.

Agree! 2010 DC 245,000 never spent a night in the shop for anything other than routine service. It works hard all week (lumber rack that gets USED!) and plays hard all weekend - tows a boat, overland camping and wheelin'. You didn't mention the seats... Great!!! My Runner LTD feel like a park bench in comparison. The styling is very RAMish but I don't hold that against it.
