- Reliability (5)Toyota's reputation for reliability is well-earned, and the 2021 Tundra is no exception. It's known for its robust powertrain and minimal issues, making it a very dependable vehicle.
- Maintenance (4)Maintenance costs are generally reasonable for a full-size truck. Parts are readily available, and the straightforward design means less complex labor for common service items. Fuel economy, however, is a significant ongoing cost.
- Technology (2)Technology is one of the Tundra's weaker points for 2021. The infotainment system is functional but dated, and it lacks some of the advanced features and larger screens found in competitors. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto were present, but the overall interface felt behind the times.
- Comfort (3)The interior is spacious, especially in the CrewMax configuration, and the seats are generally comfortable for long hauls. However, the ride can be a bit bouncy, especially unladen, and road noise is noticeable at highway speeds.
- Dynamics (3)The 2021 Tundra Platinum offers decent straight-line performance with its V8, but the handling and ride quality are a bit dated compared to newer rivals. It feels like a traditional truck.
