Pros: V8 Power, rides like a land cruiser (almost)
Cons: V8 appetite for gas, Small back seat
The Bottom Line: Ride, Power and Looks... get one if you can afford the gas bill !
I had a 1998 Tacoma, I loved that little truck, 4 banger and all. I was curious and made the mistake of taking a V8 extended tundra for a test drive. That was it!! I stepped on it to get into traffic and had to take my foot off the gas to stop the...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: World class engine, truly well built, seamless four wheel drive
Cons: Poor visibility from side view mirrors, accelerator pedal position, interior appointment spartan
The Bottom Line: Every bit a Toyota in reliability, some compromises perhaps in other areas such as interior space.
The 2001 Tundra is a pick-up truck that has come of age. Its predecessor, the T-100, was not a deadbeat. It certainly was a Toyota product in styling and reliability, but perhaps it didn't make the grade for the North American half-ton and up truck...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: STRONG,FAST,SMOOTH,VERY OFFROAD CAPABLE, RELIABLE, COMFORTABLE
Cons: The door material is fuzzy and fuzzballs and pet hair sticks to it.
The Bottom Line: It can do anything anyother half ton can do, and it does it faster, quieter, and doesn't take up as much space.
I bought My 2001 V8 TRD Tundra a year and 3/4 ago. It has 42,000 miles on it, and I am throughly impressed with this truck. It has all the power I need to pass when and where I want, even towing a loaded trailor. The biggest load I pulled yet was about...

Pros: Smooth, Powerful and with the quality of Toyota
Cons: Backseat and factory tires
The Bottom Line: You will be pleased. Form, fit and function. It has it all!
I purchased my 2001 Toyota Tundra SR-5 Access Cab (4.7 L V8) approximately 45000 miles ago. The truck rides well and I have no complaints about the acceleration nor the handling. The engine and transmission combination is silky smooth but powerful...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: V-8 power, acceleration, smooth, size, leather interior
Cons: fuel economy, backseat space, narrow frame
The Bottom Line: If you do a lot of work like hauling stuff it's powerful and reliable. The work of the truck is as good as the looks of the truck too.
The Tundra was my first vehicle. I got it during the beginning of my senior year of high school. It was used but an excellent choice of a teenager girl, especially when I was living in a rural area where there's a lot of locations to go four-wheeling, ...

Pros: My boss, president of a courier company loves it.
Cons: Eats to much gas, high insurance rate.
The Bottom Line: If I had the money, I would buy one, no but's about it, it is one hell of a truck.
The truck is made very strong. Any truck from Toyota will take it all the way and back. I myself am a loyal Toyota owner and will continue to buy Toyota's. The only major problem with the Tundra is the cost of gas, insurance and general upkeep (because...

Pros: Bullet-proof Toyota quality, ample V8 power, Lexus-like fit & finish.
Cons: Smaller rear seat despite four door cab
The Bottom Line: If you are serious about a powerful, quality-built full size truck, test drive a Tundra. I wouldn't trade mine for anything; I'm 100% satisfied with my Tundra.
In the full-size truck world, the domestics dominate the market. But now, growing in popularity and proving its mettle: enter the Toyota Tundra. Built in Indiana, powered and equipped like its domestic competition, Toyota's big truck is giving the Big...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Amazing value, velvety V-6, excellent brakes, great fit and finish,
Cons: rides like a truck
The Bottom Line: The Tundra is an amazing value. It is well thought out and does everything well. The V-6 is smooth and strong. The brakes are exceptional. It is extremely durable.
I went looking for a bottom line work truck. I am a tile contractor and I use and abuse my trucks. I don't like getting too attached because it slows down my production. Unfortunately I easily became attached to my Tundra. I have nothing but praise for...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great Toyota quality engineering and performance
Cons: Size DOES matter - and is at a minimum here
The Bottom Line: If I didn't need more space than I can afford, this would be a great choice. Hopefully Toyota will make a REAL full size pick up.
I have owned several Toyotas and know how well they are made, so naturally when shopping for a new full size truck I went straight for Toyota. I even contacted my dealer on the internet first - Toyota has a GREAT internet shopping program, and the...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Smooth, quiet ride; awesome turbine-like v-8, cupholders, reliability
Cons: rear-seat room, paint not up to Toyota standards, weak door indents
The Bottom Line: If you value trouble-free performance, power, a smooth ride, and value over heavy duty capacity and 4 passenger comfort, choosing the Tundra is a no-brainer.
NOTE: THIS REVIEW APPLIES TO THE 2001 model, since it is virtually identical to the 2000. Unforunately, Epinions has structured the site so people looking for information on new vehicles are guided to reviews written by people who haven't owned them...

Pros: Awesome V8,quiet and smooth ride, Toyota Quality
Cons: Small backseat,lack of hieght adjustment on drivers seat
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this truck. All you Camry, Sienna, or Avalon owners out there thinking of a pickup truck need to look no further than the Tundra.
I purchased my Toyota Tundra a week and a half ago and I must say that I am totally satisfied. I have had a 1998 Toyota Camry LE for the last three years and I loved it. The Tundra rides better and quieter than the Camry, but get about half the mileage...

Cons: not a lot of leg room in the back seating area
I have always driven Toyota's. All have very high mileage and still reliable vehicles. I was ready for a truck and was very happy when Toyota came out with a full size pickup with 4 doors. I ordered the truck I wanted with the exact specifications I...

Pros: Reliability, handsome, head-turner, quiet, powerful, overall quality
Cons: Only a few models, higher priced
The Bottom Line: For reliability, ride and looks, the Tundra is unbeatable.
To my mind, I could do nothing worse when purchasing a truck than pick an unreliable lemon. And trucks that are lemons do exist. Some trucks have, from time to time, serious electrical, mechanical and handling problems. In short, if your truck won't...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: acceleration, comfort, looks
Cons: price, small bed
The Bottom Line: If you are in the market for a new truck, at least give the Toyota Tundra a test drive. It is a great truck despite the cost.
My father had a huge, full-sized Chevrolet. It was a 1993, so it was getting a bit old. No air conditioner, no radio and it randomly would shut off even while driving down the interstate. Needless to say, he got rid of it, especially having his last...
