The tundra: the best truck of the early 2000s.
My Toyota is very dependable, has very high miles but still has no problems. Interior is immaculate if kept in shape. Gas mileage isn't the best out there but still not the worst either. 10/10 would recommend this truck to anyone! Like I said before, it is a high mile truck but still runs fantastic.

It is reliable and parts are easily obtainable everywhere.
No complaints as this vehicle is bullet proof mechanically. Good suspension too.

My vehicle is not high maintenance.
I really like my truck. It is a short wheel base and does not need a whole lot of space. I enjoy how it rides and drives. It is not a high maintenance vehicle. I would definitely purchase another one.

Great Truck
This 2001 Tundra is the reason I purchased a 4 Runner for the family. Toyota's are dependable,I will never buy another make. The Tundra, I use it to haul and bring in items for the house. Except for the usual water pump, radiator, the truck has endured many miles.

Drives great! Dependable and comfortable. Looks like a beater!
We've had the Toyota tundra for a long time now and it continues to drive superbly! It is comfortable and easy. I appreciate the 8 cylinders except come time to refill at the gas station. It only gets about 17 mpg, but it does get that consistently. The one other issue is that although the body still looks great, with no accidents, it was of the year when they were using a very cheap grade of paint so the paint job makes the Toyota tundra look like a beater!! I can have no pride in the way it looks! And due to age and income, cannot afford a new paint!

2001 Toyota Tundra well over 300k miles and still running
I got my Toyota Tundra V6 extended cab brand new in 2001. I've put well over 300k miles on this truck without having to do much maintenance other than brakes, master cylinder, sensors, etc. No high cost engine problems. I am still driving it today and plan on driving it until it will no longer run. I wouldn't be surprised if it makes 500k miles without major engine problems. It's been a great truck.

d***y air
No cabin air filter. Smog outside, smog inside. Enough said.

It is extremely reliable and resilient. It will get you from one place to another for a long time.
I like how reliable my truck is. I dislike how poor the gas mileage is. I also dislike how loud it is and large.
accountCircle Danny N
It is not the best on gas, not economical especially with gas prices.
It is older, I would like something more new and modern. Would also like something better on gas. Something with more room. Maybe a car.
accountCircle Chris J
That the car no matter that it is pretty old the car still runs well.
It's a great drive, the brakes work great and the drive is pretty smooth. It still works great even after this long.

Great product runs great nice interior package and exterior design.
Very dependable, low maintenance. Bought this truck new in 2001. It has provided years of great service and still runs great. I would recommend this make and model and would buy another one when I am ready for a new purchase. So if you are in the market for a new truck or car Toyota makes the best.
