Pros: Plenty of room, and nice ride quality.
Cons: Questionable quality.
The Bottom Line: A great truck to sit in and look at. Since it is still dead, I can not tell you what happens when it is driven.
Let me start by saying that one persons problems do not necessarily mean everyone will have the same issues. Just the same ..
We purchased a 2001 Toyota Tundra at the beginning of July in Seattle. We drove it down to Bandon, Oregon right...

Pros: Lots of power, drove like a car
Cons: Transmission problem, O2 sensor problem
The Bottom Line: If you buy a used one, make sure you can get the extended warranty that will cover the transmission.
After just 2 years and 69K miles, I started having transmission problems. I really thought I'd own this truck "til the wheels fell off". I made the mistake of not getting the extended warranty to cover the truck until 100K miles. My thought process wa ...

Pros: V8 has good power
Cons: Squeaks way too much
The Bottom Line: Overall the truck has been great. The service needs work.
My Tundra will not stop squeaking and popping. I have been to the dealer 4 times and all they will do is lube the leaf springs. Finally on the 4th visit they tell me they are not going to fix the problem because Toyota will not reimburse them for...

Pros: Quiet Ride, Smooth Accelaration, Safe
Cons: Mininmal refinements: Squeaky Dash, Center Console Height, Turning Radius
The Bottom Line: Definately the truck for the discriminating truck buyer and those that work'em. In the city or off-road this truck is near perfect not to mention it's a second year model.
I have owned my truck for 2 years now and expect that I will own it atleast another 8. I drove all trucks from the major 3 and fell in love with the Tundra. All it took was a 20 minute ride on the various roadways. I was sold on it's smooth, quiet...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: fit and finish, best looking truck on the road
Cons: lurchy transmission,weak brakes,needs a crew cab model.
The Bottom Line: The Tundra is the highest quality truck since the Land Cruiser. you can't go wrong here.
I bought my first brand new vehicle ever last year, a black Toyota Tundra Access cab V8. The truck is assembled here in the US, with power train built in supplied by Japan. the 240 HP (Ca model) has plenty of power when you need it, and the thing rides...

Pros: Safe, comfortable and versatile truck. Baby/toddler seat installs with ease and is secure.
Cons: Rear seat can be uncomfortable after long periods of sitting. But what seat isn't?
The Bottom Line: My recommendation is that you shop around. I can almost assure you that this truck will be on your short list. Best in class when it comes to safety.
The 2001 Toyota Tundra is probably the safest truck on the road. That alone is a good reason to buy this truck. The interior is roomy (even the back seat). My complaint with the back seat is not the size (it is a full size rear seat, or close to it). ...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: acceleration, comfort, looks
Cons: price, small bed
The Bottom Line: If you are in the market for a new truck, at least give the Toyota Tundra a test drive. It is a great truck despite the cost.
My father had a huge, full-sized Chevrolet. It was a 1993, so it was getting a bit old. No air conditioner, no radio and it randomly would shut off even while driving down the interstate. Needless to say, he got rid of it, especially having his last...

Pros: Bullet-proof Toyota quality, ample V8 power, Lexus-like fit & finish.
Cons: Smaller rear seat despite four door cab
The Bottom Line: If you are serious about a powerful, quality-built full size truck, test drive a Tundra. I wouldn't trade mine for anything; I'm 100% satisfied with my Tundra.
In the full-size truck world, the domestics dominate the market. But now, growing in popularity and proving its mettle: enter the Toyota Tundra. Built in Indiana, powered and equipped like its domestic competition, Toyota's big truck is giving the Big...

Pros: Awesome V8,quiet and smooth ride, Toyota Quality
Cons: Small backseat,lack of hieght adjustment on drivers seat
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this truck. All you Camry, Sienna, or Avalon owners out there thinking of a pickup truck need to look no further than the Tundra.
I purchased my Toyota Tundra a week and a half ago and I must say that I am totally satisfied. I have had a 1998 Toyota Camry LE for the last three years and I loved it. The Tundra rides better and quieter than the Camry, but get about half the mileage...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great Toyota quality engineering and performance
Cons: Size DOES matter - and is at a minimum here
The Bottom Line: If I didn't need more space than I can afford, this would be a great choice. Hopefully Toyota will make a REAL full size pick up.
I have owned several Toyotas and know how well they are made, so naturally when shopping for a new full size truck I went straight for Toyota. I even contacted my dealer on the internet first - Toyota has a GREAT internet shopping program, and the...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Smooth, quiet ride; awesome turbine-like v-8, cupholders, reliability
Cons: rear-seat room, paint not up to Toyota standards, weak door indents
The Bottom Line: If you value trouble-free performance, power, a smooth ride, and value over heavy duty capacity and 4 passenger comfort, choosing the Tundra is a no-brainer.
NOTE: THIS REVIEW APPLIES TO THE 2001 model, since it is virtually identical to the 2000. Unforunately, Epinions has structured the site so people looking for information on new vehicles are guided to reviews written by people who haven't owned them...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: V-8 power, acceleration, smooth, size, leather interior
Cons: fuel economy, backseat space, narrow frame
The Bottom Line: If you do a lot of work like hauling stuff it's powerful and reliable. The work of the truck is as good as the looks of the truck too.
The Tundra was my first vehicle. I got it during the beginning of my senior year of high school. It was used but an excellent choice of a teenager girl, especially when I was living in a rural area where there's a lot of locations to go four-wheeling, ...

Pros: Amazing value, velvety V-6, excellent brakes, great fit and finish,
Cons: rides like a truck
The Bottom Line: The Tundra is an amazing value. It is well thought out and does everything well. The V-6 is smooth and strong. The brakes are exceptional. It is extremely durable.
I went looking for a bottom line work truck. I am a tile contractor and I use and abuse my trucks. I don't like getting too attached because it slows down my production. Unfortunately I easily became attached to my Tundra. I have nothing but praise for...

Pros: Smooth, Powerful and with the quality of Toyota
Cons: Backseat and factory tires
The Bottom Line: You will be pleased. Form, fit and function. It has it all!
I purchased my 2001 Toyota Tundra SR-5 Access Cab (4.7 L V8) approximately 45000 miles ago. The truck rides well and I have no complaints about the acceleration nor the handling. The engine and transmission combination is silky smooth but powerful...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Reliability, handsome, head-turner, quiet, powerful, overall quality
Cons: Only a few models, higher priced
The Bottom Line: For reliability, ride and looks, the Tundra is unbeatable.
To my mind, I could do nothing worse when purchasing a truck than pick an unreliable lemon. And trucks that are lemons do exist. Some trucks have, from time to time, serious electrical, mechanical and handling problems. In short, if your truck won't...
