Overview & Reviews

The Tundra continues into 2006 without major changes, though an adoption of new and more accurate SAE engine measuring procedures by Toyota has resulted in a slight drop in the amount of stated power for the V6 and V8 engines.

• Smooth and refined V8 engine, Toyota build quality and reliability, nimble off-road, most carlike of the full-size trucks.

• Lacks serious brawn for towing and hauling, narrow cabin, mediocre seat comfort.

  Great Driving Truck - 2006 Toyota Tundra
  By Awesome Truck - May 5 - 12:50 pm

  This truck drives better than any truck Ive ever owned. Ive owned Chevys and Fords, but this truck is better by far. Ive always owned trucks, if you want a medium towing truck this is it for sure. Heavy duty towing, Id go with a different truck that offers bigger engines and higher tourque. Overall though this truck has got to be the best at the medium level by far.

  2006 Tundra Limited 4Dr 4X4 - 2006 Toyota Tundra
  By Steven Marco - April 21 - 9:16 pm

  I bought this new Tundra because a co-worker has one with 90K hard-driving miles and stil feels "new". I love the Tundra because it has ample room for 5 comfortable passengers, has an easy-to-use 4x4 system that has gotten me out of several icy situations. It has the refinement of a Mercedes-Benz combined with the fun of an ATV! After 2000 miles I would recommend this truck to anyone who needs a truck for family/projects/towing.

  New old Tundra - 2006 Toyota Tundra
  By fossilfinder66 - January 14 - 10:20 am

  Because it was such a beast to park, we traded our 2004 Tundra crew cab for a new Frontier but later missed the cushy Tundra ride. Several weeks ago we purchased a 2006 Access Cab with only 12,800 miles. It has the very comfortable captains chairs with the short console. What a pleasure to take a trip in this baby. I was leary of getting the V-6 but the 5 speed automatic is programmed to work very well with this engine. Every power option works as a Toyota is expected to work. Even the back seats are large enough for small adults or grandchildren. This is a "real truck" without the bulk of other full size brands or the bounce of the smaller trucks.

  First V8 Truck - 2006 Toyota Tundra
  By Hayden - July 18 - 1:23 pm

  I really missed not having a truck for the past 5 years. With the $4 a gallon gas I found some amazing deals out there on barely used trucks. I usually commute on a 52mpg motorcycle so fuel mileage is irrelevant to me. Having said that I average 19.1 gallons in the tundra with a easy driving style. It will get over 20mpg on road trips @70-75 mph. I wanted a double cab with at least a 6 bed which ruled out a lot of trucks. I drove a dodge and ford but they seemed to lack refinement and power. Overall I am very happy with the truck its the limited so its loaded with very nice JBL 6 disc changer, plenty of interior room, excellent ride smooth and quiet.

  This truck rocks! - 2006 Toyota Tundra
  By Rufus - June 23 - 11:03 pm

  The more I drive it, the more I like it! I Just took a trip to a wild park north of where I live, 400 kilometers round trip, I was driving normally, using the air conditioning, I got 23.5 miles per gallon, U.S. gallons, I think that is pretty good! I use it to haul my snowmobile up to the mountains and drive to work. I just put a K&N reusable air filter on it this week, I noticed a little more snap off the line, but it was already a very quick little truck. All in all I am very happy with it.

  Get one while you can....! - 2006 Toyota Tundra
  By kmagman - April 22 - 7:06 am

  Just bought the 2006 Tundra because the 2007 model will be HUGE and probably less economical. I bought this vehicle to take the place of a Lexus RX 300 and a Mazda B4000 pickup. It handles BETTER than the RX 300 and is just as comfortable with all the same comfort features and build quality.

  By I KNOW TRUCKS - April 11 - 12:43 pm

  Well I did it, I bought this truck and am 100% satisfied. I wont be buying anymore of the big 3, I have owned all the trucks and none compare to the Tundra. I almost bought the Honda Ridgeline (had it prepped and ready for pick up) but after driving the Tundra I changed my mind. If you want a truck for truckly things the Tundra is the best deal. I was expecting a lite, lazy, over revving imitation of a truck. Not so! This is a truck in the truest sense of what trucks are supposed to be.

  Best truck I ever owned! - 2006 Toyota Tundra
  By Scott - April 10 - 11:23 pm

  Bought a 2006 Tundra 4x4 double cab TRD, and I love it! Truck is very comfortable on long trips, even with four people in. Truck gets decent fuel mileage ,I avg. 19-20 on long trips to the mtns. here in Colorado. Great sound system (JBL), one thing that helps alot with fuel I think is the camper shell I have. Back window makes for easier access to bed, the suspension is not too harsh, the TRD is a great package for going off road. All in all the best truck I ever bought.

  Surprising workhorse/pony - 2006 Toyota Tundra
  By papabotts - April 7 - 5:43 am

  I have had this surprisingly powerful workhorse for 2.5 yrs. now and and quite pleased. It hauls like a truck but drives like a car. It has power and the rear sliding window handles 20 foot boards. Ive hauled full pallets of wallstone with little sway. Perfect for work and family. Only problems have been large turning radius and transmission with cruise on gets finicky. Test drove a Titan, a Ram and F-150 and pleased with my selection. Have power everything, all works great. Cup holders 4 full crew,plenty of storage compartments all over the place. Truck NOT heavy duty, but hauls well. Fuel 16c-19 hwy
