'06 Tundra

I absolutely don't need another pick up. My 99 Sierra has easily another 200k left in it pretty easily. That will out last me. It also is capable of towing and carrying anything I decide to do with it. That said, my neighbor just bought a new Tundra. I have no idea why. Anyway he has an '06 Tundra with almost just under 60k on the clock. Always garaged, never worked. It was basically a grocery getter, and very well cared for. I have known the ruck since it was new. Dealer trade is ridiculous. NADA wholesale book. He has offered it to me for what the dealer is willing to give him. He didn't give it to the dealer, so still has it.
What are the known issues with these other than needing a timing belt? I have no need\ for it, but still having a hard time passing on it. No desire to profit from it either.

The 2006 Toyota Tundra is generally considered to be a reliable truck, but there are a few known issues that owners have reported:

Frame Rust: Some owners have experienced rust issues on the truck's frame, particularly in areas where road salt is used during winter months. This can lead to structural problems and affect the truck's safety and longevity. It's important to check the frame for any signs of rust and corrosion.

Transmission Problems: Some early models of the 2006 Tundra had issues with the automatic transmission. Problems reported include rough shifting, slipping gears, and even complete transmission failure. It is advisable to check the transmission thoroughly and consider a professional inspection before making a decision.

Spare Tire Winch: There have been reports of the spare tire winch mechanism failing on certain Tundras, making it difficult to lower or raise the spare tire. Inspect the winch mechanism and ensure it is in proper working condition.

Engine Vibration: Some owners have experienced excessive engine vibration or a "rumble strip" noise, especially at highway speeds. This could be caused by various factors, including faulty engine mounts or problems with the exhaust system. Test drive the truck at different speeds to check for any unusual vibrations or noises.

While these are known issues, it's important to note that not all trucks will experience them. The fact that the Tundra you are considering has low mileage and has been well cared for is a positive indication. However, it's still advisable to have a trusted mechanic inspect the truck thoroughly before making a decision to ensure that there are no hidden issues.

Ultimately, the decision whether to purchase the Tundra or not depends on your personal preferences, needs, and budget. Consider factors such as the overall condition of the truck, its maintenance history, and any potential repair costs.

I’d love to find a well kept 1st gen Tundra. Especially a single cab 4WD V6 for a work truck around my property. It would give my 4Runner a rest from ranch duty.

I've got a much older Tundra, 2001 with the 4.7 and if that is what is in your 06, it will serve you well. I have 270K miles on mine on the original motor and tranny and it has never left me stranded. It does have a timing belt that needs to be changed every 60,000 miles although I've got over 100,000 on my current. I know some of the later Tundras had V6 in them and while I hear it's reliable I trust my 4.7 and think it will go another 150-200K with maintenance.
