A solid truck

by bbfirebird
Oct 18 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Powerful V8, good ride
Cons: Reputation for brake problems, driveshaft "clunk", some cheap interior trim
The Bottom Line: The Tundra is a quality truck, and although it has a few low points, is still better than the other three large pickups.

The Toyota Tundra is a pickup truck which is suited well for city driving. It provides a smooth ride and handles well. Mine is a 2WD access cab V8. The 2002 Tundra is available in two body styles- a regular cab with an 8' long bed, and an access cab...

by lyn_johnston
Mar 13 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Quality vehicle, reliable, smooth, comfortable, tough
Cons: a few minor complaints, that's all
The Bottom Line: The Toyota Tundra is a reliable, quiet riding, and overall superior pickup truck. Its performance, safety, and quality far outweigh that of any other truck on the market.

I come from a Ford family, so when I told my dad I was considering buying a Toyota, I thought he would disown me. He owns a farm and everyone there and at all of the neighboring farms drives either a Ford or a Chevy. I can say upfront that I have...

Chevy, Ford, & Dodge running scared

by my_02_cents
Mar 21 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: V8 power, smooth transmission, & the high quality to detail.
Cons: Back seats are upright, aux pwr only works with the truck on.
The Bottom Line: Bottom Line, if you look at the Tundra you will buy the Tundra.

Let me first say that I have been either a Ford or Dodge truck owner/user most my life. Several months ago I began my search for a new truck, looking at Ford and Chevy. Dodge was no longer an option for me. More on that later. I was looking for V8,...

One Awesome Tough Truck

by e5amarjo
Oct 19 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Toyota Quality and Performance
Cons: you pay for power with gas mileage
The Bottom Line: Excellent quality, looks sharp and smart, if you're thinking about buying a Chevy, fork out a little more and get a Tundra.

I traded in my 2000 Toyota Tundra for a 2002 Toyota Tundra Access Cab SR5. I LOVED my 2000 model- basically just wanted leather interior and a new color. So far, other than having the leather interior now in my new truck, I can find no significant...

We bought this truck after suffering through 3 years ownership of an Olds Alero. My wife really, really wanted a truck. I said "No, think of the expense, what are we going to use a truck for?" Thankfully my wife completely ignored me and we purchased ...

Just bought my 2002 Toyota Tundra Access Cab 4x4 with 49,000 miles on it. Has the 4.7L Iforce V8. About to get my first oil change. I haven't tried towing anything with it yet, but it seems to have plenty of power for usual 1/2 ton truck stuff. Came ...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Very strong V8, whisper quiet interior cabin with exceptionally smooth ride.
Cons: Rear brakes come standard drum instead of disc except in Limited model.
The Bottom Line: This is the best quality built truck on the market today.

Having test driven all major competitors in this vehicle class, the Tundra in the V8 version was a clear choice for me. I observed noticeable differences between the Toyota Tundra and its competition. If you are in the market for a quality truck, do a...

Pros: Engine, Comfort, Ride, Ease of Towing
Cons: Cannot have extended cab and long-bed at the same time
The Bottom Line: It is a excellent towing vehicle, and a nice ride too.

Quality truck with some needless flaws.

by tssplash
Aug 19 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: High Dependability, Great Warranty backing by Manufacturer, good MPG, and great looks.
Cons: Thin paint, some cheap fixtures, uncomfortable bench seat.
The Bottom Line: I recommend buying any Toyota vehicle as I've had many that have exceeded 220K plus trouble-free miles.

This is a great, and reliable truck, and I could highly recommend it to anyone. Mine still runs, and drives great, has 164K on it, and with no mechanical problems besides the recall repair on the balljoints as a precautionary measure. However there are ...

Aug 16 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Legendary Toyota dependability
Cons: No torque
The Bottom Line: Id take a Ford of Chevy over a Tundra.

Ive owned 2 Toyotas. They both were 4Runners. One was an '85 with over 200,000 miles and the other was a '91 with over 100,000 miles. I loved both of these vehicles. They rode nice and were as dependable as the sunrise.
However they were not...

Can You Overlook Bad Brakes?

by zisk2002
Feb 19 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 1.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Powerful, Stylish, Nice finish work and attention to detail, and super safe
Cons: The brakes are pathetic.
The Bottom Line: I bought a Toyota after hearing about their quality and reliability, and being fascinated with people's devotion to the brand. Check this issue out. This is not an isolated case.

Hmm. I was convinced that Toyota was the way to go after everything I'd heard. Looked into the Tundra. After some research (not enough), I decided on it b/c it was THE BENCHMARK for safety in crash tests, and IT WAS A TOYOTA. I bought a 2002 loaded...

I Love My Tundra

by waylan
Dec 18 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Quality, Exhaust/Engine Sound, Quit Comfortable Ride, Visors, Power, Classy
Cons: Lacks: road sensitive radio, auto-headlamps, message center,leather steering wheel and outofreach dash controls
The Bottom Line: Toyota Tundras are superb(must have)! Chevy/GMC have craftsmanship issues but they have nice options. Ford's have a school bus like ride and Dodge Rams Quality could be better.

I traded my 2000 Chevy Silverado Ext Cab 3dr for my 2002 Tundra Limited 4dr. with the TRD Package and Leather. I am overwhelmingly pleased with this truck and sometimes wonder if it’s not actually a Lexus in disguise. I am the very picky type who has...

Pros: Well made, comfortable ride, enough power with V6
Cons: Watch that air bag. Not real easy on gas.
The Bottom Line: Don't trust the air bags. Always wear your seat belt.

Two reasons I bought this truck. #1 safety, #2 it is built in Indiana by UAW workers. Buy American, ...
