I'm seeing 0% for 72 months on these. Moving my needle. I keep vehicles for 10 years.

Anyone driven one of these or own one in the wild? Early research and reviews seems positive.

Wanted AC in the seats, don't think I can get that on this trim though.

10 years? Look elsewhere or find a lightly used 5.7 tundra.

I have 16k miles on a 2024 4x4 limited hybrid that has been excellent. Coming from a 2018 5.0 F150 I can say that the Tundra is far more comfortable to drive. Also pull a cargo trailer daily and a 10k flatbed every week or two. Much more stable on the road.

Interesting. F150 are pretty damn comfortable to drive. That's a strong testament

I have driven F150s since 2006 and have always loved them. Owned just about every generation through the years. Just find the Tundra to be better comfort.

I am close to 60k on a 2023 limited 4x4. It's nice, but I think an f150 is probably the best 1/2 ton out there. I have slightly larger than stock ko2's on it and right now with winter blend I am getting 15 mpg. It rides much stiffer than f150 and probably the Silverado. Remote start is subscription based. Just dumb stuff that kneecaps it compared to the competition.

My experience is a 2018 f150 lariat, 2022 Silverado LTZ and this 2023 tundra.

I've owned a 16 f150 for 8 yrs now and have ridden in a few 16-22 tundras (unfortunately, on 10 hr drives) and by far the biggest difference is the seat comfort. I can drive 12 hrs in comfort in my f150 but 1 hr in a tundra is absolutely awful. There is zero headroom, zero shoulder room, and the seat "cushions " might as well be concrete. I love Toyota reliability but will never own one until they figure out passenger ergonomics.

Thomas buses ride the best though

You sure you weren't in a GM product?

Well, was about 4k apart from the dealer today on a limited Tundra at 0% for 72 months.

They didn't come off the sticker much at all.

Side note: really enjoyed the test drive. Engine was preppy!
I would say F150 seats would be more comfortable on a road trip than the Tundra. Consider the debate over

That's because you are paying more up front to get O%. Back in the day pre covid you could get 0 for 72 through TFS and about 12% off sticker. You are probably better off using a credit union but you are still looking at a 7-8% rate with a 720 plus fico in the current rate environment. Maybe someone will chime in with current deals but i would suspect you could get at lesst 8% off sticker if not using dealership financing. Also, it's still early in the year for a 25, incentives should loosen up once we get past April.

I have a family member that is a mechanic for Toyota and has been for a very long time. He told me to, "Avoid that pile of **** like the plague" on all '22 or newer Tundras. They supposedly fixed the issue after Toyota had them replace over 100,000 engines but they still see '24s with catastrophic engine failure.

It's a damn shame they ruined the reputation that the 2007-2021 5.7 Tundra built up. Maybe they'll reboot the 5.7 after the CAFE standards are rolled back (one can dream!)

I have heard the same from a buddy that runs a yota stealership service department. Problems not fixed with engines, seeing 2024's roll in for engines still.

6'-4" and about 285, Toyota head and shoulder room is laughable for anyone near my size. Even ignoring that, the seats are just not well contoured and hard as a rock and still my dad has replaced all of his leather and padding 8 yrs in while my F150 with more miles and a much heavier driver still look and feel new.

Maybe it is just me, but at 6' 210lbs, I love the seats on my tundra. I never thought I would move from an F150, but I stick with my choice and am in 16k miles.

Local dealer still offering 0% for 72 months

Seemingly the best I can't do is no dealer adding and 1k off msrp for a limited. Maybe 1k off

Same! I have a '13 Tundra and I'm 6' 2 215 and never had an issue w/ room or comfort of seats.

This is 100% personal preference, but my 50 year old back as always appreciated the firmer Toyota seating
