I've got a 2003 AC, with over 50k on it...and the vehicle is in fantastic working condition. In high altitude (Denver), it's seen two winters here, as well as summer...and mine continues to impress me. My tires don't wear in strange patterns...My brakes work great, my transmission shifts smoothly...I can still let go over the steering wheel and drive for a half a mile before it will begin drifting.
This is strictly my personal opinion...but sh!t does happen sometimes. It's a pain in the A$$ to deal with taking anything to a dealership...but...O_O
That's just how it works.
I had to take my streetbike in 2 months after I purchased it...several times for a faulty carb. They repaired the float which was stuck on an imperfection...went bad again, they replaced the entire thing...worked great...had a starter clutch go bad...went back.
But my opinion of Yamaha is still high due to their past.
...Just my two cents.

hey Deeb's,
You have a few given point's on your reply however some of us have had the Tundra a little bit longer vs your 03 and see a Big Problem on the way Toyota handles themselves on problem's.The Tundra isn't perfect and do us expect that not really but we do expect some reasonable feedback from them and that hasn't been the case on some of the other probmatic issues like brake's and other side related issues.It seem's to me Toyota doesnt adress thing's very well and often at time they will try to buy you off which isn't fair share when it comes to quality control issues.I think of lot of us old timers can tell you Toyota quality over the year's really need's improvement's made at dealership service level's and they need to regulate tsb's and fix the problem's vs blaming it on there customer's and taking short cut's . I think what you see is a few long time member's attitude is "get it done right " and yea other companies like Yamaha have similar issues i seem to recall my old 1998 Yamaha yzf-r1 having some little issues as well during it's first year but i still liked it too.
kept on trucking
and riding
