They are reliable and easy going... maintenance is a breeze. it might just suffer going up afton mountain or towing in more adverse weather. when its time to switch, who knows what the market will look like... since Toyota is looking to go V6TT... but you dont get a lot of truck for the money.At the beginning of this year, I upgraded from my '10 SR5 Tundra to a '20 Limited Tundra and couldn't be happier. Just the interior comfort was worth it to me, especially after several days at the track. The wife likes it too and we use it for family trips, it's really a nice place to spend time. I have a steel open trailer as well as a enclosed and it does fine with either (I keep my speed below 70 mph when towing), and have no issues climbing Afton Mountain with the enclosed. MPG suck, but it's a truck, so whatever. I have the TRD rear sway bar and swapped E-sidewall tires on mine and no issues. Tow mode seems to make a much bigger difference than in my '10, and the back up camera, and more importantly, headlights are a vast improvement.
Regarding the transmission cooler. When I bought mine I had no idea it was a thing, and the window sticker says it has one installed (wonder if I can make them install one lol), but I monitor transmission temp with a scan gauge and haven't noticed any real difference between the '10 and '20 in transmission temperatures. Both had the "towing package"
