    I too had the brake problems from day one, front and rear. Also had both exhaust manifold crack. In addition, over the past year it began blowing O2 sensors on a regular basis. When the transmission began slipping, I had enough. The Toyota dealers refuse to believe that there is something wrong with these trucks. My last Toyota.

  • Met expectations - 2000 Toyota Tundra

    I was very concerned with the reported steering vibrations when I was buying my truck. I just got something installed that Toyota developed to eliminate the problem. I have no complains so far, my dealer was able to fix all issues for me, e.g. arm rest storage space lid flying open when upright, initial tire wear (got new Michelins) etc.

    I bought my Tundra in mid 2002 with 44K miles. Drove it approx 35K per year pushing oil changes to every 10K. Replaced one set of front rotors, one fuel pump (it was blowing the EFI 1 fuse) and one set of spark plugs. It was an outstanding truck. I say was because it was totaled in an accident with 206K. Had it not met an early demise I believe it would have easily rolled 300K plus. I missed it so much I replaced it with another one with a young 148K on it.

  • What a great truck! - 2000 Toyota Tundra
    By -

    Bought in 2004. 68,000 mi. Now 160,000 mi. Contemplated trading for 07 Tundra, but couldnt. Love it too much, plus its paid for. Drives like a Camry. Comfortable. Quite too. Only had to replace radiator and valve cover gaskets. No other issues. Only gripe is the front brake rotors warping every year. I can switch out the front rotors in 30 minutes Ive done it so often. Interior has held up very well. Known to have transmission issues with OD gear. I never tow heavy loads like my 30 RV in OD, but I tow a 12 cargo trailer full of tools and sometimes cabinets all the time in OD. No issues so far. Needs paint job, but thats my fault. Never once washed or waxed it.

  • I love my Tundra - 2000 Toyota Tundra

    This was my first purchase for a truck. I was originally going to look at the Tacomas but once I glanced at the Tundra it was love at first site. Then after I test drove it there was no going back. I wouldnt even consider test driving any other truck. Ive had my Tundra for six and half years and it still drives like its brand new. Ive had absolutely no problems with my Tundra.

  • Good little truck - 2000 Toyota Tundra
    By -

    Ever since I bought it, this truck has been nothing but reliable. The one problem I have had has been with brake rotors. After turning the existing rotors and eventually replacing them with new ones, Ive pretty much given up on a shake-free ride. However, on rough terrain, I have never owned anything more solid. My Dodge diesel feels like its going to disintegrate if I get off the pavement, but not the Tundra. It has decent power for such a small V6, but the fuel economy isnt that great when taken in context with the small body size. I can get 20 mpg. if I baby it, but other than that, 17.5 is about average. 24-25 mpg. in high altitude, though. This is one tough little truck!

  • Hmmmm - 2000 Toyota Tundra
    By -

    Ball joints went out without any warning of indication they were bad. The drivers side suddenly dropped to the ground. The brake routers have not held up very well at all. My 4 wheel drive went out, had to replace a small electrical box by the passengers side floor area. 2 Ignitions coils went bad and the CD player suddenly stopped working. I have had the truck serviced by the dealer every 3 to 5 thousand miles. I called Toyota and they said sorry, and that was it. I think I will go back to Ford!

    need to change the gas tank lid so you dont have to turn the truck off to fill up.also,the rear passenger seat sets to erect,and could use more room in the rear seat area

  • My Tundra is GREAT! - 2000 Toyota Tundra
    By -

    Have owned and loved Toyotas since 85. This was my first big Toyota pickup. It rides cushy but handles great and is quiet at higher (Colorado) speeds which run 75-90 most times. Reliability is perfect - hard to get better than that. Bought it used with 19K miles. Drove it 50K miles so far with just oil changes (synthetic oil) and 1 brake job - no repairs needed. Have to sell it cause I now need a salesman car not a construction guy truck. Resale value is great. Getting 18.5K now after paying 21K 2 years ago. Try that with a Chevy or Ford or Dodge. Snow and ice no problem w/4WD. In short, I love this truck!
