The perfect truck for adventurers, off-roaders, and fun-havers.
I love my tundra. It is perfect for living in a ski town. I have room for mountain bikes, skis, and it is very easy to camp in the back of it as well. It is comfortable, and durable. I have over 200, 000 miles on it and it runs like a champ.

Toyota tundra a great buy.
I love the performance that I get out of my truck. Its reliable dependable, and get the job done as for as hauling and trailer or camper. I love that it has rear seat to haul my grandchildren around. It's really good on gas considering it has an 8 valve engine. I love that if needed to I can accelerate onto interstate highway without hesitation. I love the Toyota brand because they are a well made brand of vehicle. I love the value that you get with the Toyota brand. I really haven't had any problems with my Toyota ever. As long as you do the routine maintenance you're good to go. So go out and try a Toyota truck they are worth every penny. Sincerely; Kathy baker.

Holds up well over time and miles
I have had my Tundra since 1999. I have 230,000 miles on it now. The engine and tranny and drive train are all bullet-proof. I only had to replace one coil in 20 years of use. Great all around truck, its the Limited TRD 4WD with leather and all options with dealer added bed liner and running boards. It still rides well with the Bilstein shocks. Only 5 problems with this truck: The front brakes tend to judder under heavy use. Its a known problem. The rear brakes needed a new star wheel to adjust properly. Fixed it myself. The transfer case was stuck in 2WD at 10,000 miles and rebuilt by the dealer under warranty. No problems with the x-fer case since then. The seat belt retractors s**k. Also a known problem. And the rear seals failed at 100,00 miles, also a known problem. Replaced them with the new model ones myself. I like the 4.7 liter engine. Some say it is under powered, but it is not in my case. Towing lots or stuff, no issues. Cascade and Sierra steep mountain driving, no issues. In the deep snow and mud in 4WD, no issues. Never got stuck off-roading, ever. I put a Glasstite canopy on it at 150,000 miles and it has held up well with a still-perfect paint match. No rust at all, like back east. No salted roads here until last year (stupid Oregon politicians). I now plan on it running to 300,000 miles.

It is well built and sound.
I bought it new. It has all the things that I needed in a pickup. No complaints after 18 years. Well built.

Very good condition no major dents.
Interior repairs due to years of use, cosmetic repairs are needed, gas guzzler, 200k plus miles but still runs great, fav thing is it is paid for!! Car tag is cheap, everything still works, have had to do minimal repairs so far, insurance is cheap too.
accountCircle Reid B
It is a very reliable vehicle.
I have had it for the past 8 years and have performed oil changes regularly. I have had to change the catalytic converter, radiator, and starter within the past year. Currently it has 230, 000 miles.
accountCircle Merritt C
My truck has traveled over 200k miles and is still humming and performing perfectly.
My truck is simply a truck. No frills and a huge bed. I chose it and love it because it is purely functional, reliable, and carries anything I need.
accountCircle Mark
Love my tundra
Has 228,000 miles and still runs like new. It's a 2000 and the only major thing I had to replace was the transmission. I put a 2004 trans in it so it's made better and shifts smoother and hauls better than before.I'll keep this truck forever

Starter Problems
My 2000 extended cab SR5 has 145,000 miles. Great truck other than I've had to put 2 starters in it. First starter was replaced at about 98,000 and now at 145,000. My bad luck i guess. I don' us it much anymore. I don' see any reviews where owners have had many mechanical problems.

Toyota tundra 2000 reviews: wouldn't suggest it
My vehicle is old but has lasted long, it has belt problems and you must replace oil frequently unless you are able to buy a good brand I would suggest buying something newer. The color is white and the door gets broken easily, we has one door handle rip off and the front door and then front broke into 3 different pieces. The car was expensive very cheap quality so I would suggest not buying it.

Good mechanically, bad cosmetically
The truck runs very well and is typically mechanically sound. All features still work as they should. Flaws are rust issues and peeling clearcoat.
accountCircle Cassy C
Reliable 4x4 truck to haul a trailer or to use as an everyday car.
It a good truck because it's a 4x4 so I feel comfortable using it when it snows. The problem I have though is that it's too loud. I think I have to change the muffler in order to make it quieter. It isn't cheap to fill up the gas tank because it's a truck but it's doable. The seats are comfortable in the front but it's kind of cramped in the back if you're a tall person. The seat belts no longer retract when you unbuckle it so it's annoying because sometimes when I shut the door, the seat belt sticks out from the bottom. Everything else at the moment works fine.
accountCircle Kathie V
It's ok - sturdy. A bit too high off the ground for me.
Love to be able to haul stuff in the truck, but sometimes there is a mechanical problem that is difficult to solve.

Reliability
This truck is better than sliced bread. Runs like a Singer sewing machine at 20 years and 168,000. Plan on being buried in the back bed. Just general maintenance. Tried driving the new 2020 much to big for a little ol lady. The back doors are a squeeze at the grocery store but other than that it is a fabulous vehicle. Just sayin
