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...

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,...

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...

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...

Pros: Nimble steering, Good power, Decent Stock equipment.
Cons: Transmission "hitch", ABS not standard, Rear drum brakes.
The Bottom Line: These are great trucks but good luck finding a used one.
I test Drove every model of truck out there before settling on this particular vehicle. There is definitely some consistency through the reviews that I will attempt to address. The truck had 65,000 miles on it when purchased, and the check engine ...

Pros: Reliable, comfortable, attractive, easy to drive
Cons: interior a bit spartan
The Bottom Line: This truck does nothing exceptionally and everything well. A pleasing experience awaits you.
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 ...

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...

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 ...

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.
I have owned four pickup trucks. I started with a 93 Truck, then a 94 T-100. I bought my first camping trailer, and bought a 00 Tundra V6 Regular Cab. Lastly, I got a bigger camping trailer and purchased the 02 Tundra SR5 extended cab with the V8....

Pros: Very smooth, Strong engine, comfortable, strong brakes

The Bottom Line: I recommend this truck to anyone and everyone. If you decide on this truck, you will have made the right choice.
I bought my 2002 tundra v8, ext cab, 4x4, with 12000 miles on it. In only 2 months I put over 6000 miles on it. I love driving that truck! It is so much more comfortable then other trucks in its class. The ride, even with 4x4, is amazingly smooth....

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Power, comfort, quality of construction
Cons: gas milage, stiff seats
The Bottom Line: I would buy this truck again in a heartbeat. The quality has to be seen to be appreciated. Even with the somewhat high price, it is a great value.
I traded a '99 F-150 and the difference in quality is unreal. Everything in the Toyota fits and performs perfectly. No rattles, quiet on the road, great stereo. The V-8 is the only way to go, a perfect match for the size of this truck. It is a little...

Author's Product Rating:  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...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: Power is awesome, ride outstanding, handling better than most
Cons: This truck has poor brakes when fully loaded.
The Bottom Line: Buy it if you want a well dressed classy 'city' truck with lots of great options and awesome V8 power.
Don't buy it if you are hauling heavy loads.
The sales people want you to believe the Tundra is a true 3/4 ton truck. It is, at best, a 1/2 ton pickup just capable of handling a 6,500 pound trailer equipped with proper trailer brakes.
The truck has drum brakes in the rear and small disk...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Looks, Ride, Reliability, Power
Cons: NONE!
The Bottom Line: The only truck I would consider trading this one in on would be another Tundra after I put my usual 300-500,000 on it!
We had always wanted a full-size pick-up but refused to buy one until either Toyota or Nissan had built one with a V8.
This truck is awesome! Handles great, rides great, looks great and of course I know it will be reliable! We have owned 4...
