Used 2001 Toyota Tundra Consumer Reviews
Under Powered
I bought a new toyota truck and have been disapointed the longer I have had it. It is not able to pull the heavy loads that I wanted too. I bought a new trailer for my business and it just does'nt have the power to pull like I need. It is really underpowered, unless you just drive it to Lowes Hardware etc... I have also had a few problems, one is with some interior noise and an air conditioning problem. I have been underwhelmed with the performance of this vehicle.
tundra quality
In January 2001 I reutrned a 1999 4x4 Ranger to the dealer. Although I did not have any problems with the Ranger it was under-powered, noisy and very stiff riding. I looked to replace the Ranger with a Ford F150 extended Cab 4x4. However, the length would take every available inch in my garage. In additon the test drive felt awkward. I then turned my attention to the Tacoma and Tundra. In short the power, size and smoothness of the 4.7 litre won me over. Service has been fantastic and quick. The only warranty problem I had was a split leather seat which was promptly taken care of. Overall I'm very pleased

2001 Toyota Tundra with 203,000 miles
Bought the truck new in 2001. I have 203,000 miles on it and it still does not burn any more oil then it did when new. My only problem with it is the under designed brakes. Toyota admits that the braking system was under design, but would not help the consumer with the problem if the consumer was beyond the 36,000 mile warranty period. I drive a good deal of highway miles (75%), so my brake usage was not typical. But Toyota would not help me. Not even a discount on an upgrade. Consequently, the brake pads and rotors need replacing more often then necessary. Cost a lot of money.
Good Truck
Bought new in 06/2001, haven't had any problems at all. I got 41,500 miles on it and it runs just as good. The brakes do squeal a little when backing up but I've heard thats do to brake dust. The gas mileage is better when I keep my foot out of it but then again, its a truck with a V8 not a compact.
Great Truck - dissapointing Manufacturer
I bought this truck based upon another Toyota pick up that I had previously. Within 3000 miles the wheels started to rust. Both the dealer and Toyota said that's normal! So much for the rust guarantee! The dealer took 2.5 hours for an 'instant' oil change! The dealer and Toyota are a waste of time. My advice - buy the truck and then avoid the Toyota corporation completely! With a 150 mile commute and a 5 year note on this I go to work in an 89 diesel Jetta doing 49mpg.
