  • T100 It keeps running & running. - 1997 Toyota T100
    By -

    I purchased my T100 in Jan 1997 with the idea that I would use it to get back and forth to work and light hauling such as my 14ft. Alumnacraft boat. In almost 11 years of ownership it has never left me stranded. Ive had two problems with the truck where the repair costs were over $150. The first was AC related and was covered by the standard warranty. The second repair was more of a wear issue, the valve cover gaskets needed replacing. The truck started leaking very small amounts of oil. All other repairs have been minor or routine maintenance. Im selling the truck to a friend because he needs a reliable fuel efficient vehicle. Good luck finding one!

    most excellent mid-size truck. I bought this truck used with 80000 miles on it and it now has 225000 mile on it and I hvent made a single repair to it and it still runs and looks great. although a v-8 would be nice. all around an awesome truck.

  • Good, reliable truck - 1997 Toyota T100

    Bought new. Only major problem was rebuild of rear axle at 59K miles covered under powertrain warranty. Probably related to pulling boat at close to 5K tow rating limit. Consistantly gets around 19mpg. Seat belt retractors suck, they never worked right from new, but thats the only real complaint. Aftermarket accessories limited compared to American big 3.

  • Bought at 10 years old - 1997 Toyota T100

    Came to me with 144,000 miles on it. Drives great on the highway, straight and true and smooth. Takes the bumps like a pickup, but then thats what its called. Previously owned a 79 4WD Toyota, and this is like a Cadillac to me. Reasonable sized rear bed with the extra back seat for shopping and inside packages. 4WD sits as tall as all its bigger brothers and sounds great! My wife drove it into the end of the garage and with a new bumper and headlight, it looks the same as before. Tough truck!

  • I love my truck - 1997 Toyota T100
    By -

    this truck is such a great vehicle, i have yet to get stuck and i got hunting, four wheeling and everything through the snow, rain, sleet, hail, and everything. i love my truck...i have been in a couple bang ups in it, and it still runs perfect with the dents and no repair. the seat belts work a little too perfect though, they always lock...which i guess is a good thing. i got the truck for my freshman year of high school and it has been with me through my graduation year. this year. and i will continue to take it to college. its a smart buy.

  • From New til Now - 1997 Toyota T100

    Bought my T-100 new in Jan 97. Best truck I have ever owned, got 120,000 and have only replaced the starter, ($120.00) Only tuned up once and still runs like a dream. Dont know much about the Tundra, but if it is half the truck this is they have got a winner.

  • 272,000 miles and counting - 1997 Toyota T100
    By -

    I bought my truck new, it had 2.5 miles on it; probably putting it on and taking it off the ship from Japan. All 271,996.5 miles are MINE. This is a great truck, the best vehicle I have ever owned, no complaints. I have replaced the clutch; taught my wife to drive a standard. Currently in the process of having the interior restored, new carpet and door upholstery. Good for another 272k!!

  • Great Deal for the $$$ - 1997 Toyota T100
    By -

    This is a no nonsense truck. Controls are easy. Drives and handles great on the road, the beach and in snow. The engine is not going to have you at the dragstrip anytime soon but it is a workhorse that is loaded with torque for towing and is very reliable.This is my 5th Toyota and it is true to the Toyota quality label.

  • perfect truck - 1997 Toyota T100

    70,000 miles and nothing has ever broken. The clock works. The stereo works. Everything works. Perfectly.
