A note-pad holder is now optional on SR5 and Limited, while Base regular cab trucks lose their standard cassette player. Two new colors are available, filling three slots left vacant by old colors that have been discontinued.

• Silky V8, Toyota build quality, less-than-full-size maneuverability.

  My tundra is great. My friends cant believe how much power it has. People who ride with me are astounded by the smooth ride.

  Best Truck Ive Ever Purchased! - 2001 Toyota Tundra
  By Bocefuss - April 1 - 10:00 am

  Wow, this is one heck of a solid truck. I commute from San Antonio to Austin every day. What a joy to drive! Noise levels are very low, smooth ride, very comfortable for driver and front passenger. 18+ mpg for a V8 is great. No issues and regular upkeep. Thanks Toyota!!

  Does good in the mud - 2001 Toyota Tundra
  By Doc - March 8 - 3:10 am

  Its a good running truck plenty of horse power. Already had to replace the rack and pinion bushings and just snapped the pinion gear on the ring and pinion in the snow. Not good build quality there. But its ok its getting converted to straight axle in the front to get it lifted the way I want on 38 inch tires now it sits on 33 inch mud terrains had it stuck in mud up past the doors twice now and getting a grabber green paint job. I could not ask for a better truck. I hate the push button four wheel drive and the fact you cant get a manual transmission thats gonna be chaged soon though.

  2001 Tundra - 2001 Toyota Tundra
  By paychek - November 27 - 12:43 pm

  Overall Ive been very happy with the performance & quality of this truck. Not happy with the poor gas mileage but I guess it takes fuel to make power. Also it has a vibration at certain speeds (~65mph). Ive had many attempts made at fixing the issue, including alignments, wheel balancing (including lug centric), wheel check, replacement of rotors, shocks & different brands of tires. A set of Michelins seem to make the biggest difference. With all of the work done it still has a vibration from the front end at about 65mph. Add a manifold leak to issues.

  Excellent Safety poor emergency handling - 2001 Toyota Tundra
  By Alfomega - July 24 - 2:00 am

  Got hit in the drivers side by a Camry going 60mph. Camry folded; I came out unscathed and walked two miles home. Inspite of ABS, vehicle skidded on wet street on a medium grade curve at 40mph. It was near impossible to move in direction of skid due to road surface and body weight of vehicle. It also performed poorly on icy roads. Ill buy a Tundra again with limited slip differential and 4WD, as its a life-saver. But I wont be lulled into complacency by its smooth engine and quiet interior.

  Still crazy - 2001 Toyota Tundra
  By velobella - June 27 - 10:16 am

  I purchased my 01 from a used lot w/10k on it and havent looked back! Ive put nearly 145k on this baby, commuting daily. Only drawback is gas mileage, but great work truck! Ive driven many a truck but my Toyota is like driving a couch! Sure there are problems, squeaky brakes, funky dash noises in cold weather, tinny pinging sound with engine start up in cold weather, but the ride is divine and reliability is tops. I will put another 100k on this puppy. The only thing that hasnt held up is the leather interior, but everything else is tops. Ive replaced timing belt at 150k (and it still looked good, but water pump was slightly leaking). Keep up the maintenance, you wont go wrong!

  Tundra V6 - 2001 Toyota Tundra
  By Tazdog - May 31 - 10:00 am

  I have had the truck almost 3 years now. Have had no problems of any kind. It is a very comfortable ride with plenty of power. I put a shell on it & experienced no performance drop off. Gas mileage actually improved by 1/2 mi. per gal.

  Oldie but a Goodie - 2001 Toyota Tundra
  By woof - February 7 - 7:06 am

  This is a great truck, despite the fact that the bed isnt quite 8 long. I carry hay, horse feed, fencing, manure, firewood and building supplies and pull a 2 horse trailer without any problems. My biggest complaint is its inability to move forward in heavy gravel or on any kind of slippery surface (mud), even with a load. The configuration of the back doors is awful! You have to play musical doors to put groceries in the back seat. No leg room for adults in back seat. This model came with Tacoma brakes, which created problems. Dealer installed Land Cruiser brakes at no charge. 75K miles to date, no mechanical problems, and 18 to 22 mpg with a soft foot and summer tires!

  Great 4wd. Over built engine will last a long time.

  Great Choice...very happy - 2001 Toyota Tundra
  By jcolumbu - January 29 - 10:00 am

  After being a lifer Chevy/Ford person, my wife bought a Camry and weve been hooked on Toyota since. I spens a lot of time looking around at the Big 3 and decided to go with the Tundra and Im glad I did. It has been rock solid...no problems, good power, handles great. I dont use 4WD much other than the winter, but it is nice to have. The brakes seem fine to me, I was surprised to see others complaining about them. Ive had heavy loads in the bed, it sagged down low as expected but took it fine. Id recommend this to anyone.
