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...

Toyota Tundra: Close but no cigar

by red_dog30
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...

Tundra's weak point

by bilbur
Sep 02 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 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...

Crash test??

by henryjames
Jul 04 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

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, ...

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 ...

Toyota Reputation Surpassed!

by ohament
Dec 11 '02 

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

Pros: Great off the line & at top speeds, handles well, no rattles like other 3.
Cons: Poor location for clock, no interior gas door opener.
The Bottom Line: Get this if you want a truck that will last a LONG time. Toyota reputation along with thier ingenuity surpasses the Big 3 time & time again!

I love my Tundra! This is my first truck & it took me a year to research between the other MFG before deciding on the Tundra. The handling is excellent espressially after adding the Hellwig Anti-Sway bar in the rear!

Prior to the Tundra, I...

2002 Toyota Tundra 4x4

by rfinkle2
Dec 31 '02 

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

Pros: Excellent build quality, good power, comfortable for full size truck
Cons: transmission "clunk"...no black interior option, NO problems to date (5,500 miles)
The Bottom Line: I would absolutely get another Tundra. I am looking forward to a remodel / upgrade of the Tundra in 2004 for my next vehicle.

I own a 2002 Toyota tundra 4X4 and love it. I've had many cars in the past ,but fell in love with trucks when I bought a Tacoma in 2000. Unfortunately the Tacoma had a small 4 cylinder and was a little underpowered for me.
Hence, my Tundra...

Excellent choice

Jan 05 '03 

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

Pros: Excellent in all respects.
Cons: Rear seat comfortable, but tight for adults.
The Bottom Line: Excellent, just perfect. I do not need a crew cab or tow heavy trailers.

This is my third Toyota truck and I have had it for 8,000 miles with no problems nor did I have difficulties with previous Toyotas.

I am delighted with this truck. I test drove other trucks prior to this purchase and this was the best by...

Pros: Very smooth, Strong engine, comfortable, strong brakes
Cons: vibrating 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....

Waited 30 years for this truck! 2002 Tundra

by dsilvers
Apr 15 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 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...

My Towing Truck

by tundradude
May 27 '03 

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

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....

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...

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...

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 ...
