About This 2017 Toyota Tundra SR5 CrewMax
At 109,900 miles, this Tundra is well into its stride — and that's actually a good thing. Toyota Tundras are legendary for their durability, and 109K on one of these trucks is barely a warm-up. The SR5 trim sits in the sweet spot of the Tundra lineup: loaded with features that make everyday driving comfortable, without the premium price tag of the Limited or Platinum. The 5.5-foot bed offers a practical balance between cargo capacity and overall truck length, making it easier to maneuver in tighter spaces without sacrificing too much hauling room. The Silver exterior is clean, timeless, and shows wear and dirt less than darker colors — a practical bonus for a work truck.
2017 Toyota Tundra Performance and Engine
The 5.7L i-Force V8 — Built for Work and the Road
The heart of this truck is Toyota's legendary 5.7L V8 DOHC 32V i-Force engine, paired with a smooth automatic transmission sending power to the rear wheels. This engine produces 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque in its stock configuration, giving the Tundra a maximum tow rating of up to 10,500 lbs when properly equipped. Whether you're towing a trailer through the Cajon Pass or hauling materials across San Bernardino County, this powertrain doesn't flinch. The rear-wheel-drive configuration keeps things simple and mechanically straightforward — fewer components mean fewer potential issues over time, and RWD Tundras are particularly popular in Southern California where all-wheel drive isn't a daily necessity. The i-Force V8 is also known for its smooth, linear power delivery — it doesn't need to be pushed hard to feel responsive.
Toyota Tundra SR5 Features and Interior
The CrewMax Difference
The CrewMax cab is Toyota's largest cab configuration on the Tundra, and it's a genuine game-changer for families and work crews alike. Rear passengers get near-luxury levels of legroom — more than most full-size sedans — making long drives out to Big Bear or across the Inland Empire genuinely comfortable for back-seat riders. The SR5 trim adds a meaningful layer of equipment over the base SR, including upgraded interior materials, a larger touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth audio streaming and hands-free calling, a rearview camera, keyless entry, and power accessories throughout. Toyota's infotainment interface is intuitive and easy to use without being overly complicated — something long-haul drivers genuinely appreciate. The SR5 also brings exterior upgrades including chrome accents, fog lights, and SR5-badged alloy wheels that give the truck a polished, professional look.
Toyota Tundra Reliability and Ownership
The Toyota Tundra has one of the strongest long-term reliability reputations of any full-size pickup truck on the market — full stop. While competitors have battled transmission recalls, engine problems, and expensive repairs, Tundra owners frequently report driving their trucks well past 200,000 miles with routine maintenance alone. J.D. Power has consistently rated the Tundra above average for dependability, and consumer satisfaction surveys routinely show Tundra owners among the most loyal in the truck segment. The 5.7L i-Force V8 in particular has an outstanding track record — it's not uncommon to find these engines running cleanly past 300,000 miles with regular oil changes. At 109,900 miles, this truck still has a tremendous amount of life ahead of it, making it one of the better-value propositions in the used full-size truck market right now.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 2017 Toyota Tundra a good buy?
Absolutely. The 2017 Tundra SR5 is one of the most reliable full-size trucks you can buy used. With the 5.7L i-Force V8, a spacious CrewMax cab, and Toyota's rock-solid build quality, it offers long-term ownership confidence that's hard to match at this price point.
Is 109,000 miles too many for a Toyota Tundra?
Not at all — in fact, for a Tundra with the 5.7L V8, 109,000 miles is considered mid-life. These trucks routinely reach 200,000 to 300,000 miles with proper maintenance. A well-cared-for Tundra at this mileage is often a smarter buy than a lower-mileage truck from a less reliable brand.
What does the SR5 trim include on the 2017 Tundra?
The SR5 is Toyota's most popular Tundra trim for a reason. It includes Bluetooth connectivity, a touchscreen infotainment system, rearview camera, keyless entry, power windows and locks, fog lights, SR5-badged alloy wheels, and chrome exterior accents — essentially everything most buyers actually use, day in and day out.
What is the towing capacity of the 2017 Toyota Tundra 5.7L?
When properly equipped, the 2017 Tundra with the 5.7L V8 can tow up to 10,500 lbs. It's one of the strongest tow ratings in the half-ton segment, making it capable of handling boats, horse trailers, travel trailers, and heavy equipment hauls with ease.
Is RWD okay for a truck in Southern California?
For most Southern California drivers, RWD is perfectly suited to the climate and terrain. Snow and ice are rarely factors in the Inland Empire, and RWD trucks are mechanically simpler, lighter, and slightly more fuel-efficient than 4WD equivalents. If you're not regularly heading into the mountains in winter, RWD makes a lot of practical sense.
