Review
Ever since I bought it, this truck has been nothing but reliable. The one problem I have had has been with brake rotors. After turning the existing rotors and eventually replacing them with new ones, I've pretty much given up on a shake-free ride. However, on rough terrain, I have never owned anything more solid. My Dodge diesel feels like it's going to disintegrate if I get off the pavement, but not the Tundra. It has decent power for such a small V6, but the fuel economy isn't that great when taken in context with the small body size. I can get 20 mpg. if I baby it, but other than that, 17.5 is about average. 24-25 mpg. in high altitude, though. This is one tough little truck!

After about 6000 miles the truck started shaking when I stopped. I took it back to the dealer who did a complete brakes job. It drove great for about another 8000 miles then started shaking again. In total, I have had 3 new rotors, 2 new drums, 2 new front calipers, including the last time when they installed the updated brakes, just before the warranty ran out. now it still shakes when I stop. The dealer tells me there is nothing htey can do, since it has all the latest updates for the brakes. Also, the exhaust manifold leaked, and the check engine light has been on 4 seperate time for various emission problems that have totaled over $900.

I posted originally in 2003 about the brake problem. Well it has become progressively worse. I can only go 1 year on the front brakes before the rotors go and the calipers get stuck. It is in the shop now for its 5th or 6th (I've lost count) front end brake, caliper, and rotor job. The truck is reliable -yes- but before I tow the horse, I have to have the brakes inspected for wear. They just don't hold up.

This truck has been a disappointment.
Toyota quality is all but absent.
Granted it is the first model year,
but it has far too many shortcomings.
Overall quality is poor. The interior
has squeaked and rattled since it was
new. The suspension squeaks, chirps,
and rattles. Teeth break off the
spider gears in the rear end. Axle
seals blow for no apparent reason. The
transmission shifts hard into 3rd
gear. Fuel milage and crusing range is
unimpressive, After 4 years, toyota
has still not solved the
brake problem. The 4wd system is
failure-prone. I cannot recommend this
truck.

Overall, this truck is a good buy. The
only issue that I have had is with the
brakes. I had to have all four
replaced along with drums and such
under warranty due to warping, glazing,
and a severe shudder. They are now
having the same problem except for the
shudder which I assume will show up any
day. This means I am only getting
about 20,000 miles on the brakes,
sigh...and since I tow horses, this
creates a problem.

The Tundra is a great truck and will go
the distance with proper maint and
appropriate care. I have just passed
30000 with no major problems. The only
problem i've had is a squeak in the
rear suspension when passing bumps.
Otherwise a great performer.
