Pros: Lots of power, drove like a car
Cons: Transmission problem, O2 sensor problem
The Bottom Line: If you buy a used one, make sure you can get the extended warranty that will cover the transmission.
After just 2 years and 69K miles, I started having transmission problems. I really thought I'd own this truck "til the wheels fell off". I made the mistake of not getting the extended warranty to cover the truck until 100K miles. My thought process wa ...

Pros: Quiet Ride, Smooth Accelaration, Safe
Cons: Mininmal refinements: Squeaky Dash, Center Console Height, Turning Radius
The Bottom Line: Definately the truck for the discriminating truck buyer and those that work'em. In the city or off-road this truck is near perfect not to mention it's a second year model.
I have owned my truck for 2 years now and expect that I will own it atleast another 8. I drove all trucks from the major 3 and fell in love with the Tundra. All it took was a 20 minute ride on the various roadways. I was sold on it's smooth, quiet...

Pros: V8 has good power
Cons: Squeaks way too much
The Bottom Line: Overall the truck has been great. The service needs work.
My Tundra will not stop squeaking and popping. I have been to the dealer 4 times and all they will do is lube the leaf springs. Finally on the 4th visit they tell me they are not going to fix the problem because Toyota will not reimburse them for...

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...

Pros: Plenty of room, and nice ride quality.
Cons: Questionable quality.
The Bottom Line: A great truck to sit in and look at. Since it is still dead, I can not tell you what happens when it is driven.
Let me start by saying that one persons problems do not necessarily mean everyone will have the same issues. Just the same ..
We purchased a 2001 Toyota Tundra at the beginning of July in Seattle. We drove it down to Bandon, Oregon right...

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: Well built, tough, reliable, smooth ride, comfortable interior, quite, very good looking truck, 4 doors
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...

Well-Built, Good Design, Sucky Service
by jnrobinson
Jun 17 '04
Author's Product Rating:
Recommended: Yes
Pros: Power, Refinement, Ground Clearance, Acceleration, Handling, Fit and Finish
Cons: Small backseat, Dull Design, Poor rear visibility.
I love the design though it is a bit small in the back seat. We have driven this truck since it was new and we now have 39K on it. Gas mileage was a bit disappointing because we were hoping for a bump due to the lower weight but it was not to be. Of course when you order a truck with a V8, AT, 4x4, Extended Cab, Off Road Package, you can pretty much count on passing everything but the filling station. The service as a real adventure but I am pretty sure that has more to do with the dealership than the company.

Better than average,,,but just barely

Author's Product Rating:
Recommended: No
Pros: good engine
Cons: weak transmission, weak brakes, poor support from toyota.
2001 SR5. 85K miles. At 50K, all the o2 sensors blew. At 65k, the entire steering/shift hub assembly shattered, rendering the truck un-driveable. Toyota refused to replace it, cost $800.
Transmission has never worked correctly.
Brakes are crap, rotors too small.
But the worst is Toyota stealerships. My local one is DCH toyota of simi valley, CA. DO NOT GO THERE FOR ANY REASON. They are liars and crooks. They wanted $350 to replace an o2 sensor. I did it myself in three minutes for $80.
