I bought this truck in 2006 with 43000 miles on it. Powerful without being bulky, smooth engine that purrs really well, The only thing this truck did was burn out some 02 sensors and warped some rotors. (just changed rotors when I did pads and it can be a easy job for someone who knows a little bit) Some people upgraded to a larger brake/Caliper package too. This truck was the love of my life, I felt safe, comfortable and loved. It was always there for me no matter what. I work at a Toyota Dealership and even the co-workers liked it. I had just had the timing belt,water pump, tires, brakes, rotors, transmission service, differential service, radiator flush, new battery done then on 6/12/19 was hit and rolled over, The truck flipped landed on its tires and was still running. It only had 125.000 on it. I found one with 147.000 on it am getting it next week. I am heartbroken to lose this truck, it was the most wonderful thing I have ever owned.

I got the stripped model 2DR V6, A/C, roll-up windows, no cruise control, approx. $18,500. This is really a fantastic vehicle except for one nagging problem. The front brake rotors consistently become warped from overheating about every 20,000 miles. The so-called fix is to buy new star adjusters for the rear drum brakes. This does not solve the problem, and Toyota refuses to issue a recall notice or assist owners with this problem. They just sell the star adjustors which do not solve the problem. In standing behind their product, Toyota is becoming more like the U.S. auto producers!

As A Commercial Truck!

This truck has a GemTop Cap with side tool doors and ladder rack. It is carrying about 450lbs of tools and equipment. It was a bid truck against a Chev 4x4 extended cab PU and came in $120 less. We like the V6, 5 Speed, and manual 4x4 transmission. To make this truck move you have to shift...and to get mileage keep a light foot on the throttle. This IS NOT a heavy duty construction type truck...better get a C20 or F250 for that. We bought this truck for the Toyota quality name and better fuel economy.

Very Happy w/ My '02 Tundra

When Toyota first advertised the new '00 Tundra, what interested me was the emphasis placed on the Tundra’s new I-Force V8 engine. After waiting two years and tracking the success of the Tundra, I decided to test drive this truck and immediately knew that this was a well build truck. I’ve driven this truck across the USA with no problems. I also have used this truck to haul wood and for towing. The 4X4 works well both off- road and on wet/snow covered pavement. The anti-locking brakes also works well on icy and gravel roads. I highly recommended the anti-locking brakes. I’m very pleased with this truck and will buy another Tundra.

If you want the best mid- to full- size pickup this is it for regular use, this is it! If you want an oversize truck for towing extra large loads (above 7500 lbs.) and are willing to compromise on quality/reliability buy a Chevy, Ford, or Dodge. This vehicle is clearly superior and is an excellent tow vehicle for loads under 7500 lbs. The Lexus derived V8 is amazing. Unlike a previous reviewer, always test drive before you buy. I am 6'1" and seating is very spacious.
