2001 Toyota Tundra-I'm confused
Hi everyone, I'm looking at a 2001 Used Tundra Regular Cab for my dad at the moment. The car is Automatic and has 133,000 miles but I am not clear as to whether or not it is a Basic or SR5 model (per Edmund's TMV search). I got a TMV value of around $3K and the KBB says it is around $3900. I'm pretty confused at this point, is there a ... Read More

Re: ABS Issue? [theguze]
Hi. did you ever find out what the problem was regarding the ABS engaging? I'm having the same issue with my 2001 Tundra (190K). I just had the front brakes, front and rear struts replaced along with a wheel bearing on the front left. Now, when I'm parking the ABS pump is engaging. My mechanic took it to Toyota and the diagnositic tests showed nothing! They have replaced the speed censor, ... Read More

Re: toyota tundra total brake failure [hawkeye7]

The Tundra also does not have a fully boxed frame which leads me to question its long term durability. Oh NO not the 'it-doesn't-have-a-fully-boxed-frame' curse again. Darn didn't Toyota learn from all those dead GM's and F150's from the 80's and 90's that died from overwork because NONE of them had fully-boxed-frames. Heck they're all over the road and job sites dead as Iraqi tanks simply because they don't have fully-boxed-frames. ... Read More

Brand new DC SR5 TRD on the road.
I just used my tundra for the first 4 days. I am in the construction industry and required a 3/4 or half-ton for the job. I traded a 2001 3/4 silverado (company's truck) for a Black 07 TRD Tundra. I just put 1100 kilometers on it, it averaged 10.7 litres/100 kilometers which is about 22.0 MPG (US gal, not the 26.4 imperial). I basically gained about 120 miles of range per ... Read More

Re: Toyota Tundra Hybrid [crimsono2]

Re: 2001 Brakes / co2 Sensor / need a cap [wcc1958]
Get Powerslot rotors and Hawk (metallic!!) brake pads. You can get them through Performance Products, but I found them online even cheaper. $90 each for the rotors and $50 for the pads. That's cheaper than OEM stuff through Toyota or about the same as aftermarket stuff. The problem is that they undersized the pads on the early Tundras, causing overheating and warping of the rotors.

The two problems that you report are common on some tundras. First, the brake shimmy is due to warpped rotors on a lot of 2000 and 2001 Tundras.

GM has always built CRAP! and always will. This is my first Toyota, before that I've always had ... Read More

Are the pictures of the pistons from your Tundra? My 2001 Tundra 4x4 SR5 access cab has developed the cold start knocking problem also. On start up, sounds like light tapping against the block with a hammer. Are you saying this is because the pistons are cast? Is your knocking problem more pronounced at cold temperatures? Would changing my oil to a non-synthetic reduce the knocking tendency? I've been using Mobil ... Read More

That in Alaska where live nobody would tow r attempt anything without 4x4. The reason is Alaska is Alaska. And don't tel me you got far using 2wd. Maybe on a freshly sanded highway maybe.

Here is my take on the Toyota Tundra problems. I have the 2001 4X2 Limited, snugtop, sunroof, flowmasters, K&N filter, Westins, etc. Too much sway in the truck. Feels really sloppy. Armrest (on the right side) too short for an arm. Especially for a left hander like me. I drive with the left hand and tend to try to rest my other arm on that silly armrest. Console is too low. ...

bama, maybe you could heed your own advice???
From the GM engine knock site: #95 of 197 Ray by bamatundra Nov 30, 2001 (01:17 am) I know that you may not agree with my opinions, but resorting to personal attacks makes you look juvenile. I was responding to a GM owner who was attacking other GM owners for posting about problems with his truck. This has NOTHING to do with the fact that I don't own a GM truck. ... Read More

Wind Noise
My 2001 Tundra has a wind noise problem that sounds like flapping along the top of the windshield. It only happens at high speed and in cold weather. The dealer says that it is the design of the Toyota bug screen. They replaced it once. They have not been very helpful. They have suggested removing it. Has any one else had the same problem and had it resolved?

I used to live in LA. Actually San Pedro. I miss the weather and the beaches. I used to ride dirt bikes near Palos Verdes Peninsula. Those were the days. I have owned my Tundra 2 years.

You are making an excellent choice. The Tundra has won the J.D. Power award for initial quality in full size pickups for 2000 and 2001 (What do you want to bet they win 2002 also?) Consumer Reports has ranked the Tundra "better than average" reliability (The best rating that they have awarded to full size pickups).

Bed leaking dirt with camper shell
Well, yet another piss poor design by Toyota. I have a 2001 Tundra. I purchased a LeeR Camper Top. The problem is that when I travel off road, the sides of the tailgate have a heaping gap in it. This allows a tremendous amount of dust into the bed. Of course, it is within Toyota's spec and they have been ZERO help. After one trip on a dirt road, the bed ... Read More

The 2001 TQI (total quality index). Out of 18 categories - not ONE GM vehicle. Toyota managed to win 6 out of the 18 categories (including the Tundra of course). http://carpoint.msn.com/Browse/win_4020223.asp

What TUNDRA bashing? You CAN have Tundra info right here. For example, you can talk about the safety recall affecting more than 70,000 2000-2001 Tundras for defective trailer wiring/brake controllers. Or you can talk about the TSB for warping rotors and defective drum brakes. You can talk about the progress Toyota has made addressing past omissions, like limited slip differential, or present omissions, like 4 wheel disc brakes, and towing equipment. ... Read More

New Tundra SR5 extended cab v8
Bought a 2001 Tundra SR5 extended cab v8 yesterday; (traded in a 2000 Ford F150 extended cab 4dr 4.2L V6) So far I am very impressed by the Tundra's ride, smooth (and powerful) engine, and how quiet it is. Also, it's much better at maneuvering into tight parking spaces (than the F150). The cabin is smaller than the F150 but personally I don't mind. Three (small to average people) could sit ...

Shaking Tundra
Not to spoil the fun here - but I have a 2001 Access 4x4 which is a beautiful truck, but I am having some vibration problems that Toyota has not been able to fix. I consider this a serious quality problem and I am disgusted with Toyota right now. It is a shame because I think there are some fairly simple fixes that could solve the problem (see Tundrasolutions.com), but my ... Read More

So, how much transmission fluid does the Tundra take?
My buddy and I both have new 2001 Tundras (stop me now from waxing lyrical.......), but we've got a question for you experts. He's got 6000 miles on his (I just got mine and only have 400 miles) and decided to change the transmission fluid. He drained it and got a tad more than 4 quarts out. He checked the book and it says it takes 2.1 quarts to fill! He ... Read More

Tengubuda, your story sounds like an exaggeration
but my answer follows; 1. Stop telling mechanics you are mechanically inept, many of them are dishonest and decide you are ignorant and can be overcharged, so go to a new car dealer who you can trust for service and trust them. Also, I've been in Texas the last 55 years and mechanics here aren't any worse than any other state when it comes to being inept or dishonest. 2. My ... Read More

Is there a Tundra, Reg. cab, 4x4 for 2001?

Also, they wanted to charge me $23,200 for the truck and another $300 to bring it in from WV. hats up with this? Are these guys serious or just morons that don't know what they are selling? I ...

TUNDRA Dislikes/Likes
The Tundra V-8 Access Cab is large, solid and well built. Here I my likes dislikes... Dislikes: -No 5 speed available, Automatic transmission only with the iForceV-8! WHY?? -Tracks poorly in corners, can't take corners or windy roads. Sloppy in emergency handling. -Slow off the line (iForceV-8) -Clean but Boring interior, no toys even as options! Why no Sequoia parts bin sharing here? -I can't get comfortable in this truck for ... Read More

seems like a good truck
I bought my 2001 Tundra based on my ex. with 9 previous Toyota's. So far it seems like a good decision. Like the overall quality and looks. Lots of power. Have heard the Tundra's have some teething problem's but haven't experienced them yet. Now if I could just get it to tow like a F-350.

Dman, what color is your truck supposed to be? What year is it? If it's a 2000, you're probably talking about platinum, which looks silver but has a tint of blue in it. In 2001, platinum was replaced by silver sky, which is more gray without the blueish tint. Vince8, I don't know exactly what the hp and torque curves are for the trucks, but I know the plenum on the ... Read More
