2013 Toyota Tundra Review, Problems, Reliability, Value, Life Expectancy, MPG (1)

The Good

A strong V8 engine offers excellent power for a truck its size, the Crew Max model has more room than competitors, and maintenance costs are low.

The Bad

Interior has cheaper materials than competitors, suspension is stiff and steering is loose.

Is the 2013 Toyota Tundra a Good Used Truck?

  • Overall Rating 9/10 – 2013 is a great year for the Tundra, earning a high overall rating with powerful & reliable engines and plenty of space. Owner reviews praise the towing capacity, nice interior, and dependable engine.
  • Interior, Comfort & Cargo 7/10 – Interior materials are average for a truck with a lot of durable cloth and plastic used in the cabin, the seats are comfortable, and there are three bed lengths available including short, regular, and long options.
  • Reliability 10/10 – 2013 is an excellent year for the Tundra with no widespread problems. We recommend avoiding models from 20072008 which have some mechanical complaints and going with a 20092020, which are all great.
  • Performance 8/10 – Power is only average from the V6 engine, while both V8 engine options offer excellent horsepower and torque for a truck.
  • Safety 7/10 – The Tundra is reasonably safe for a truck getting an overall rating of 4-stars in government crash tests with 5-stars in side impact and unfortunately only 3-stars in rollover risk due to the height. There are also no advanced safety features available.
  • Gas Mileage 7/10 – Fuel economy is acceptable for a large truck at 17 MPG which should give owners about 448 miles of range out of the 26.4 gallon tank. Fuel costs are around $18 cheaper than average for a large truck at $281 per month.
  • Value 8/10 – The 2013 Tundra is an expensive truck, however it’s one of the longest lasting half-ton trucks on the market, making it worth the money.

Positive Owner Reviews

Rusty S

I love my tundra and you should own one too.

My 2013 Toyota tundra has been a fantastic vehicle for myself and my family. I have not had any issues out of this truck and have only had to do normal maintenance on it for the 7 years I have owned it. I would highly recommend Toyota in particular, but especially a tundra.

summer s

It's been very dependable and I recommend it to others

I love my truck. It's dependable and has had no major problems. My only complaint is the gas mileage but what do you expect from a V8

Rebecca L

Tough and solid Toyota Tundra.

Very comfortable. Drives very smooth. The truck feels very safe and it is roomy. I have never had any mechanical issues with this vehicle. I would definitely buy another.

Dawn M

4 x 4 Toyota tundra the last truck you will buy.

Our tundra IA 4 wheel drive. The knack sheet is very large and has a lot of legroom. It is a smooth drive and very comfortable on long trips. I love the smart screen and the factory stereo sounds amazing. Would never want to own anything but a Toyota.

Christine T

Excellent tundra reliability!

Owning this a tundra has been a dream! It is very reliable and does not feel like a truck at all. It is great in med and snow! I purchased a truck for the first time with this one. It is been very helpful in many situations where a car just would not do!

Nichelle V

Performance V8 engine thundra

It can pull a trailer. It has a bigger gas tank. Better performance. V8 engine. Performance. T

John B

Reliability and comfort and great local service and fair price

It's great, very reliable and smooth running, also has excellent warranty and great local dealer

Greg D

It's drivability. The truck drives comfortably and is quiet like a car.

It's size! At 6'5" it's a vehicle that fits me. It's a crew max cab so it transports the family comfortably, and even as a truck it drives and is quiet like a sedan. Has tons of power and is very versatile.

Negative Owner Reviews

Jamie A

It was nice when I first got it.

I had this car for a year now, every since I had it is been problems with every since the transmission went out & now it is in the shop.

michael b

A very dependable vehicle

The reliability of this vehicle is off the charts. This vehicle can do pretty much anything you ask it to.

f*ck U

It is maintenance free and fast.

It is too large. The turning radius sucks. It is hard to park. It works good for hauling kayaks. The gas mileage is bad.

Sheree T

Do no have problems when you drive. It is very easy to drive. It is very easy to turn.

It is very reliable car. It is very good use car. It is no trouble car.

Marija V

Toyota trucks are comfortable.

I very much enjoy my Toyota truck because it is big and comfortable for its size. The exterior is easy to clean as it is black leather. There are seat warmers and coolers for winter and summer. The camera feature is my favorite thing in the car and it is very accurate. Another thing that is very helpful is the beeping sound when you are switching lanes and another car is too close to yours.

Madison W

We have the rock warrior edition and love it and how it handles.

I feel that I sometimes have a lot of problems with the brakes and wheels and noises that they make. I also have a problem with the rubber sealing around the doors and it causes there to be a very annoying noise when I'm driving at highway speeds. Other than those small issues we really like the vehicle and we love having the extended back seat for the dogs.

George R

So-so Toyota tundra from 2013.

My suspension has constant issues and my check engine light is always on despite there being no problems. My battery has had to be changed out twice already as well. But the ride after all these years is still smooth for the most part. Parts are easy and affordable to repair.

john M

It is a lot of car with a few faults.

No mechanical problems; gas mileage about 15 mpg. Poor visibility to rear over tailgate. Side mirrors and front corner posts block to the front quarters. Mirrors can easily conceal a full size car. Size makes it difficult to park. Truck bed holds a lot. Running board makes it easier for old folks to climb in.

What Do Critics Say About the Toyota Tundra?

  • Consumer Reports says the Tundra is now strong enough to compete with American trucks, and has very high owner satisfaction scores.
  • Edmunds gives the Tundra a 4.3/5 praising the strong V8 engines, but doesn’t like the cut-rate interior.
  • Kelley Blue Book users rate the Tundra 4.6/5 and enjoy the high towing capacity, but owners don’t like the bouncy suspension.

What Common Problems Does the 2013 Toyota Tundra Have?

The most common complaints on the 2013 Toyota Tundra include steering wobble, excessive oil consumption, and chipping paint. Overall, these problems are less severe than other full size trucks, and repair costs are more affordable as well.

A steering wobble is the most common complaint from owners at around 30,000 miles. The source of the problem is usually a loose component on the steering box. In some cases, simply tightening the parts fixes the issue, while other owners have replaced parts costing around $650.

Excessive oil consumption shows up on some Tundra models at around 50,000 miles. Toyota trucks in general tend to consume more oil than competitors. Most owners simply check the oil regularly and add oil as needed, while others replace gaskets which cost around $800.

Chipping paint is another complaint from owners at around 85,000 miles. Paint that is not properly cared for and left out in the sun becomes more brittle as the truck ages. Repainting the affected areas fixes the problem, and costs around $1,000 per panel.

There are 6 recalls, average for a truck from 2013. The most serious recall is for a power steering gear which has been known to leak oil and Toyota will replace the power steering gear assembly for free. Other recalls cover lug nuts and load-carrying labels, which are less severe.

How Long Will the 2013 Toyota Tundra Last?

A well-maintained 2013 Toyota Tundra should last over 350,000 miles, which is 100,000 miles more than other highly-rated competitors like the Chevy Silverado 1500. Regular annual maintenance costs are lower than competitors, according to data from Repair Pal at $642 per year.

Since most 2013 Tundra models will have over 100,000 miles buyers should be prepared to replace the fuel filter for $150, engine mounts costing $600, and the brake pads which cost $285.

How Is the Technology?

Technology is basic in the 2013 Toyota Tundra compared to some other full size trucks. The standard stereo system is very simple and the navigation system is outdated. There’s also no advanced safety features offered.

Is the 2013 Toyota Tundra a Good Value?

Yes, the 2013 Tundra is a good value since it’s so dependable. Blue book prices range from $15,736 to $31,684, making it more expensive than similarly equipped full size trucks like the Ram 1500 and Nissan Titan. When new, the price range was $25,455 to $48,170. Depreciation is better than average, only losing about 5% of its current value per year.

What are the Different Models of the Toyota Tundra?

There are three models of the Tundra offered for 2013 from the entry-level Base all the way up to the well-equipped Platinum.

Base is the entry-level model with:

  • 18-Inch Steel Wheels
  • Cloth Seating
  • Power Windows & Locks
  • Dual-Zone Climate Control
  • Cruise Control
  • 4-Speaker AM/FM/CD Stereo System

Limited is a step up, which adds:

  • 18-Inch Alloy Wheels
  • Power Folding Mirrors
  • Leather eating
  • Power Front Seats
  • Back Up Camera
  • Bluetooth Connectivity
  • 10-Speaker JBL Stereo System

Platinum is the luxury model and has:

  • 20-Inch Alloy Wheels
  • Chrome Exterior Trim
  • Sunroof
  • Perforated Leather Seating
  • Heated & Cooled Front Seats
  • Touchscreen Navigation System

What Engines Come In the Toyota Tundra?

  • The standard engine is a weak 4.0L V6 which makes 270 horsepower and 278 lb.-ft. of torque while getting up to 17 MPG.
  • A step up is the stronger 4.6L V8, which generates 310 horsepower and 327 lb.-ft. of torque and gets up to 16 MPG.
  • The flagship engine is the very powerful 5.7L V8 which offers 381 horsepower and 401 lb.-ft. of torque at up to 15 MPG. Performance is great, taking only 6.9 seconds to go from 0-60 MPH, and the towing capacity is high at 10,400 pounds.

What Colors Does the Toyota Tundra Come In?

How Comfortable Is the Toyota Tundra?

The seats in the 2013 Toyota Tundra are very comfortable and supportive, and hold up for a long time compared to other trucks. It’s available as a 2-door Regular, 4-door Double Cab, and larger 4-door Crew Max.

There’s plenty of room for adults in the back seats of the Crew Max, but the Double Cab is more cramped with less legroom.

How Is the Storage In the Toyota Tundra?

There are three bed lengths available, including a 5-foot-6-inch short bed, 6-foot-6-inch standard bed, and 8-foot long bed.

What Are the Differences Between Years?

The second generation of the Tundra was introduced for the 2007 model year, and replaced by the third generation in 2022.

2011: More powerful V6 engine offered, and trailer sway control is standard.

2012: Standard rearview camera on Limited model, chrome exterior trim.

2013: No major changes.

2014: Upgraded interior and Toyota Entune apps added, rearview camera standard.

2015: V6 engine discontinued, and TRD Pro model added for off-road enthusiasts.

2016: Updated stereo system, larger gas tank, and a new front bumper added.

How Does the Toyota Tundra Compare to the Competition?

The Toyota Tundra is one of the best full size trucks available for 2013 with an extremely long lasting engine, and comfortable Crew Max cabin available.

The Chevy Silverado is a competitor which costs around $4,000 more. Performance is slightly better with the larger engine in the Chevy Silverado, but the Toyota Tundra has fewer complaints from owners. We recommend the Toyota Tundra since it lasts longer, and has lower ownership costs as a used truck.

The Ford F-150 is another truck available in the same price range. The towing capacity is higher in the Ford F-150, however, the Toyota Tundra has a more comfortable cabin. We recommend the Toyota Tundra since it has lower ownership costs, although both are excellent trucks that will last a long time.

Reliable

Hello everyone. I've own my Toyota tundra 2013 v6 4.0 At first when my dad was talking me into it on sept.2013. At first I was no way going to purchase a new vehicle. So I did. Price was hard to swallow. But now.... I just paid it off. It has 210, 0000 mile. I've been all over the U.S. Towing my 21ft . Trailer. I just had my first repair. Had to replace my struts. But over all.. It's the best truck I've ever had... If you can find one..get it. It's old school and easy to work on. Thanks for reading. Toyota for life.

Kris Webster on May 11, 2023

On the 2013 Toyota tundra starter replacement

What’s the smaller V-8 engine? It is a 10 hour job to replace the starter. That makes the cost almost $2000 to change a starter. This is very poor engineering and design.

The sunroof and back window rolls down is awesome.

I haven't had any major problems and love that the back window rolls down. Performance is great. Reliability is great. Comfort is awesome. Features are awesome. The back seat reclines so when you are camping and want to watch a movie in comfort. The sunroof is also very awesome when all the windows are down while at the beach.

Katy L on February 23, 2021

Best truck around! Very spacious and reliable!

This truck is very reliable. This is our 2nd Toyota Tundra. We have our over 100,000 miles on each one. It has some simple mechanical issues that must run in Tundra... Radio issues, horn issue, dashboard lights coming on randomly when nothing is wrong. Overall great vehicle with plenty of room.

Brenda A on February 9, 2021

Toyota Tundra is an excellent vehicle.

Durable, dependable, and has many comfort features as it is the platinum edition. Handles well pulling a trailer.

Barb S on February 9, 2021

A comfortable reliable ride.

No real problems if a scheduled maintenance program is followed as suggested by the manufacturer. This truck is a very comfortable ride and is very reliable. We like that we have a split seat in the extended cab back seat. It allows us to put up the short of long length of seat or both so we can easily load groceries or other items.

Tori P on January 14, 2021

The amount of space in the cab is phenomenal.

It's extremely reliable. Average features. Except the back window also rolls down along with the other windows. The amount of space in the back seats is incredible. I can easily fit my son's car seat in the seat and the stroller on the floor in front of it and easily still have plenty of space for two more passengers in the backseat without being cramped. There are 16 cup holders in the truck which comes in really handy with the amount of drinks we take with us. The cup holders are also a great size for bigger water bottles and coffee tumblers. But also fit normal sized cups just as well.

The camera feature is my favorite thing in the car and it is very accurate. Another thing that is very helpful is the beeping sound when you are switching lanes and another car is too close to yours.

Lisa L on November 30, 2020

The back window glass can roll down!! The kids love when we roll it down, and they can look out into the back of truck if we are parked at a parade and they don't want to sit out in the cold

I absolutely love this truck, the backseat has plenty of room, 2 6ft+ men can sit back there with plenty of legroom!!

Andrew C on November 24, 2020

Reliability is a staple when it comes to Toyotas and it shows.

The Toyota tundra is a reliable and dependable truck. With routine oil changes and regular maintenance I am at 120, 000 miles with little to no issues. The tundra is able to reliably pull any trailers I need (car hauler, uhaul, horse trailer, etc.). The braking system and tow package are a definite plus for pulling anything!

Chad C on November 20, 2020

Tundra works hard so I can play even harder.

The tundra I own is very comfortable to ride in. It has warming seats. It also has split split level ac. Electric seats. The reliability of my tundra is phenomenal. It still gets the 2 miles to the gallon of gas that it did when I bought the thing. Its towing power is one of the strongest I've ever seen to date. It consistently stops in a dime and has great traction control.

John C on November 8, 2020

2013 tundra crewmax 5.7 v8 flex.

The crewmax has tons of interior room. There is more room in the back that front. Basic accessories. Easy maintenance. The beds are too small though and could be extended another 1-2 feet. Gas mileage is average at best for the bigger v8. They are fun to modify though.

billie h on October 31, 2020

Very dependable and affordable! They last for many years and not much mechanical issues.

I love my Toyota! It is the only type of vehicle I will ever own again! I have had several toyotas and they have very minimal performance issues! The vehicles are very dependable and durable! Easily get over 300,000 miles on them!

f*ck U on October 21, 2020

It is maintenance free and fast.

It is too large. The turning radius sucks. It is hard to park. It works good for hauling kayaks. The gas mileage is bad.

Adam D on October 16, 2020

Final drive ratio

I own a 2013 Doublecab SR5 CREWMAX, It has dual captain's seats upfront, but the paperwork says the final drive ratio is 3.73:1, would it have to have been custom ordered to be equipped with those options?

Loretta G on September 9, 2020

Love that the rear window rolls all the way down.

It is the best vehicle I have ever owned. This truck is everything you will ever need and more. It has the most room inside the cab. It is very comfortable to sit in and drive. It is perfect for personal or business use. I have pulled trailers with vehicles on them without ease.

Andrew H on September 5, 2020

How dependable it is. I have owned 2 Toyota Tacoma's and now a tundra. The only reason I got rid of the first Tacoma is because it was a 2 door and wanted a 4 door. As my children got older, I needed more leg room in the back and went to a tundra.

Toyota Tundra is the most dependable truck on the road. I love my truck, but wish it had more luxury things inside. They are way behind other manufacturers in terms of bells and whistles.

Ashley S on September 1, 2020

Spacious, allows room for multiple passengers with everyone able to be absolutely comfortable

Love the size, very spacious in the cab and can use the bed for carrying items. Gas mileage is not ideal.

Jamie A on August 24, 2020

It was nice when I first got it.

I had this car for a year now, every since I had it is been problems with every since the transmission went out & now it is in the shop.

Ryleigh M on August 10, 2020

Review of 2013 Toyota tundra.

I love this vehicle! I have been driving it for 7 years now and still haven't had any issues. It was somewhat difficult to drive at first because of the size but you get used to it. Other than that, no issues at all! Love this car 10/10 would recommend!

riley K on August 7, 2020

Silver tundra, looks sleek and not too high off the ground.

Extremely reliable, no issues, very comfortable, but that is because I added leather seats and navigation, the vehicle has had no issues that would be considered serious in the 4 years I have owned it. I will own a truck for the rest of my life now. When I need to buy another truck I plan on purchasing another Toyota tundra most likely.

John W on August 7, 2020

Tundra is the best truck in it is class!

I have owned f-150, ram, Silverado and now the tundra. Best truck ever! Basic maintenance and your good to go. Run synthetic oil. I do an oil change every 10 months. Had to replace the brakes and battery. Normal maintenance. Highly recommend the tundra.

Robert S on July 30, 2020

I have a silver tundra and after a fresh wash it shines like no other.

I love my tundra. There isn't another truck with the same turning radius. It is a smooth ride and great in the snow. It does only get about 14 mpg in the city. Although on the highway I tend to get around 21 mpg depending on the speed. I normally drove about 3 mph over so that's around 68 to 73 mph.

Ryan S on July 17, 2020

2013 Toyota tundra platinum crew cab short bed 4wd, the good and bad.

I have a Toyota tundra platinum crew cab short-bed 4x4. Has been a great truck for me so far. I used to be a Chevy/GMC guy but really got annoyed by the way my wheel wells would always start rusting after about 5 or 6 years. On your 8 and no rust to this point. Only thing I have had to do to it is have the rear view camera replaced, which was quite expensive as they have to take the bed off to replace the cable bundle. I had purchased the extended warranty, so it was covered by that minus my deductible. Keeps its value pretty well. I will definitely be purchasing another in the near future.

Douglas B on July 16, 2020

Great value for New England winters.

Reliable work truck that is gets good mileage. Not fancy, but very comfortable. The cab is large enough for 5 people. The bed size is six feet. The truck is pretty high off the ground and four wheel drive is selectable. Goes great in the snow. Very safe and solid.

Christine T on July 11, 2020

Jessi J on June 29, 2020

I have to say it's most important to note that my truck is reliable.

My truck may be old but with regular maintenance it is very reliable. I love trucks, especially smaller trucks, so this one fits my needs perfectly.

Allison S on June 27, 2020

2013 tundra: high miles and still going strong!

2013 tundra has been reliable and easy to care for. As far a trucks go, it is got a really smooth and quiet ride. We've experienced no issues. The truck is pretty great, for its size, with gas mileage. An aftermarket tow package, makes it convenient towing our boat 23’ deck boat.

summer s on June 25, 2020

It's been very dependable and I recommend it to others

I love my truck. It's dependable and has had no major problems. My only complaint is the gas mileage but what do you expect from a V8

Jennifer B on June 19, 2020

It can fit 6 people comfortably. It has a lot of storage on the interior.

It is a good truck to use to haul things. It has a lot of storage and is very roomy. It fits 6 people.

Barbara H on May 29, 2020

Gas mileage could be improved.

The Toyota Tundra is a joy to own. While I live in the country, I work in an urban area with a high traffic volume. Navigating between the two environments with the Tundra means I have the ability to haul needs materials for my home and to commute in comfort and safety.

Matt S on May 28, 2020

The truck is very reliable and has not had any issues since I bought it.

I haven't had any problems with my truck and it is very reliable. . It is equipped with a back up camera, touch screen radio, and has plenty of room in the from as well as the back. The seats are comfortable, but the gas mileage is not as good as I thought or hoped.

Randy R on May 22, 2020

The height of the vehicle makes it very easy to drive.

My vehicle is really reliable. Does not give me too many problems as long as I do maintenance on time. It is very good when it comes to loving things being that I have a truck. It is pretty good on gas. Being that I have a Toyota even if it gives me issues the car parts are very affordable. It is a very comfortable truck that has plenty of space to fit about 6 people comfortable. It is very reliable on taking long trips. I have taken it on about 6 long trips from Miami to North Carolina and it has not given me any problems. If anybody would ask me if is a reliable truck to purchase I would recommend it to everybody especially if you like pick up trucks.

Carson B on May 10, 2020

Toyota Tundra four wheel drive review highs and lows.

My Toyota Tundra has performed wonderful it's a very spacious truck all seats front and back recline very comfortable, it performs well in the mud the 4 wheel drive has plenty of power. The only thing that would sway my decision on buying another Toyota Tundra would be the gas mileage. The bed has plenty room, and the back up camera is a must for anyone that pools trailers regularly now that I've driven a truck with this function it will be high on my list for any future trucks.

Larry O on May 6, 2020

It is able to haul our camper

It has the power to tow my camper and we love it

Samuel G on April 3, 2020

I think the truck will make it to 300k miles.

The truck has been a great truck. Gas mileage is on the low side but the comfort level is a 10. It has not had any issues all the way up to 90000 miles which is where we are now.

Allison J on March 12, 2020

Spacious cab, hauls load smooth, no mechanical issues.

I have not had any issues with this vehicle besides regular maintenance ie oil changes, bought a new battery. The space in laid the truck is so roomy we are a family of 4 and we have plenty of room makes it comfortable for long drives. We bought this truck BC we wanted to get a pop up camper and it pulls so smooth.

Alyssa R on March 11, 2020

It is one of the most reliable vehicles I have ever owned.

I love the cab space and reliability of our truck. We have only had to bring it in for regularly scheduled maintenance. I don't like the cab space. I wish it were bigger. And the gas mileage leaves a lot to be desired.

Rebecca L on February 10, 2020

Tough and solid Toyota Tundra.

Very comfortable. Drives very smooth. The truck feels very safe and it is roomy. I have never had any mechanical issues with this vehicle. I would definitely buy another.

Danielle W on February 3, 2020

Great, beastly, reliable truck.

I bought this truck brand new in 2013. It is a tundra rock warrior. Performance wise, it is amazing. I have never had any issues with the engine or anything! Regular maintenance helped with that I am sure. Very reliable truck. My daily driver. Has about 85k miles on it now. I have 2 car seats in the back with plenty of foot room & room for groceries as well.

George R on January 23, 2020

So-so Toyota tundra from 2013.

My suspension has constant issues and my check engine light is always on despite there being no problems. My battery has had to be changed out twice already as well. But the ride after all these years is still smooth for the most part. Parts are easy and affordable to repair.

michael b on January 3, 2020

A very dependable vehicle

The reliability of this vehicle is off the charts. This vehicle can do pretty much anything you ask it to.

Joy O on December 15, 2019

Rugged truck that rides like luxury.

The tundra is very comfortable. It has the feel of a luxury car but it is still a truck and very rugged. The seats in back flip up for more cargo space. The mats and floorboards can be wiped down with ease. I am the cab the air conditioning has dual controls for passenger comfort. We haul a 25 foot camper with no issues.

Joe D on December 14, 2019

I would buy another one. Would recommend to my family and friends.

I get good mileage. Handles very well. Comfortable ride.

Nichelle V on December 13, 2019

Ian C on December 10, 2019

Love my truck so does the family.

The truck has a lot of room for a family of 5. Problem I have driver side makes a noise by window not sure why. Not bad on gas for a v8. Seat are not bad not the most comfortable but not bad either. Sound beautiful. Pick up quick run good have no issue, as I have 124,000 miles on my truck and still runs like a champ.

John B on December 7, 2019

Reliability and comfort and great local service and fair price

It's great, very reliable and smooth running, also has excellent warranty and great local dealer

Brad A on November 29, 2019

Great truck to drive any level of driver.

My only complaint about my truck is that it has the 4.7 liter v8 and sometimes getting on the highway it really does not have that much power but and more modern years they've done away with that engine so it is no longer a problem. That is absolutely the only complaint I have about that vehicle.

4 x 4 Toyota tundra the last truck you will buy.

Our tundra IA 4 wheel drive. The knack sheet is very large and has a lot of legroom. It is a smooth drive and very comfortable on long trips. I love the smart screen and the factory stereo sounds amazing. Would never want to own anything but a Toyota.
