Toyota Tundra

[Dunit35]

Anyone drive a Toyota Tundra? I'm at looking at trading in my Jeep for an 06' Tundra crew cab. This particular one is 2wd with 94k miles. It is loaded and everything works. Much cheaper than my Wrangler. Which is what I'm most interested in.

Anyone know of any problems with these? My brother owns a couple but they are much newer models.

[TLO]

No idea, but you may have your man card revoked for driving a Toyota pickup. :)

[SAUTO]

I think that's the one that has the secondary air injection pump in the passenger wheel well. They take on water when n it rains and then rusts the valves. It gets expensive, i would make sure they did whay the tsb said to do with the pump and hoses

[TLO]

Does it snow very often in Oklahoma? Only having 2wd might bite you in the ass if you deal with snow more than once or twice a year? :shrug:

Wrong. One of the best pickups on the market. They are HUGELY popular down here in Texas

[Dunit35]

I've had two vehicles with 4wd and never used it on either of them. I have a work vehicle that I drive four days a week and my current vehicle sits in the driveway 3-4 days a week. I'm tired of paying $340 a month for a toy. This Tundra could be paid off in less then a year. The Jeep will take another 4 years.

Now you have me nervous. I'm reading up on this. What should I ask the dealership? It is a Toyota dealership so they should know what I'm talking about.

I don't know anything about them but there are a couple of good people on here that sell cars for a living I'm sure they will give a reply later. They helped me out a few months back.

Hope it works out whatever you decide.

[SAUTO]

Yeah any dealer should know all about it

Do it, but run a car fax on it first (ownership history can tell you a lot). My only concern would be the tires, you don't want to have to throw a whole bunch of money into the tires, truck tires are very expensive. Good luck.

Just buy a GMC Denalli Crew

$340/mo? Just buy an older Jeep for a toy.

Tires look to have a lot of tread left on them.

Make sure this truck isn't coming from TX or FL.

[Dunit35]

The Tundra would cost me $9k after trade in. I owe $21k on my Jeep. That frees up quite a bit of our debt. We already have another car payment.

Driving older vehicles always freak me out. Tundra's do last forever from what people have told me.

Meh, I'll drive a car into the ground before I have a car payment.

That's what I'm wanting to do. I'd save a load of money doing this. But it being an older truck scares me.

[Tombstone RJ]

Just an FYI for people, anybody wanting to buy a used vehicle, make sure you do a car fax, or something similar, before you buy that vehicle. Make sure that vehicle is not coming from either Texas or Florida, due to all the flooding that's been going on down there.

[Fairplay]

You could go to a local automotive repair shop and say hey I have a truck I'm looking at possibly buying how much would it cost for me to bring it in and you guys give it a look see and give me your opinion it might cost you 50 bucks but it would be worth the cost in my opinion.

[Dunit35]

I will be doing a carfax. The tag is an Oklahoma tag and I can run it at work. I'll get a carfax tomorrow. I believe an older man drove it.

They are replacing the water pump and a belt.

[Dunit35]

I will say I usually only put on around 50 miles a week. Sometimes more if I leave town to go fishing. Sometimes less.

Timing belt?

My work truck is Tacoma with 250k miles on it...

Yes.

Until I bought my current truck, I never owned a vehicle that was less than 10 years old or had less than 100k miles. Didn't have a car payment for over 20 years. I always looked for original owner vehicles with service records, didn't give a shit about mileage as long as I knew it was cared for. It's not that hard to keep them going if you're willing to do some work to them yourself.

I'll remind myself to ask my salesman if it's a one vehicle owner and not some teenage kid tearing it up.

It is super clean on the inside.

I'd have a paid off 09' Chevrolet Silverado if some jackass trash truck hadn't demolished it.

Chicks dig it...

[chieffan09]

Have a 05 double cab, 4.7. 183K. The truck is solid. Only weak point is break calipers. Replaced water pump and timing because of mileage, never needed anything else. Toyota makes a really, really good truck.

We'll thumb down that pic

I haven't had a car payment since 2003.

Carfax should show number of owners. I prefer private party sales because you know exactly who owned it before, things can get murky when you buy from a dealer. I bought my 02 Grand Cherokee from a retired older guy who bought it new, it was immaculate and he had an inch thick folder of all the service records. I've had it for 4 years and have only had to do a front brake overhaul and oil changes, it now has 170k on it and I'd drive it anywhere.

I'm going to go more in depth with my salesman tomorrow. He's a friend of mine and I have full trust in him. My family has been buying from him for several years.

It's a damn nice feeling. Only reason I spent what I did this time is because I wanted to get one that hadn't already started rusting. It's almost impossible to find a 10 year old truck in the midwest without a fair amount of rust on it.

Yep, my MO is to have a savings account going so that I can pay cash for either a car repair if needed, or just to go ahead and buy a new, used, car. I either trade my old vehicle in, or sell it for cash after I have already bought my new vehicle.

It's also nice to not have to deal with the slimy F&I guys if you do buy from a dealership. Just write a check, sign some shit and drive home.

My buddy took a white one to the bump and run races last week lol.

What years did they payout due to the rusty frames?

Toyota built a reputation on reliability, and most of their vehicles live up to it.

[rocknrolla]

I have a 2001 LTD 2WD with 360,000 on it, replaced the radiator and fan clutch. Bought it new and its best money I ever spent. I drove the first 175,000 of those miles pulling a trailer making 40 stops a day working on swimming pools. I will say its the worst in the snow, I buy 8 bags of concrete to throw in the back. Good luck, I hope this helps.

Pile of junk.

[MIAdragon]

My work truck is Tacoma with 250k miles on it...

Pfft, my Ram beater has 330k, zero issues.

[TeaQue]

We have two Tundras in our family that were bought new.

2008 double cab 5.7/4wd, 105k miles, been rock solid. Only replaced maintence items (battery, brake pads, etc)

2015 crew max, 5.7/4wd, 30k on it, not a single issue.

They are solid trucks.

[Ming the Merciless]

i drive a toyota, got it new in 08

great vehicle have had absolutely no problems with it

Toyota took a big hit with air bag issues also.

[Bugeater]

Pfft, my Ram beater has 330k, zero issues.Must be a 12 valve diesel.

Must be a 12 valve diesel.

Except for the track bar and ball joints every other year...

Nice rides - anything Toyota are good.

[Bugeater]

Except for the track bar and ball joints every other year...Well if they made everything indestructible you'd be out of a job.

24v common rail.

Absolutely any Toyota 4.7l V8 should have a SAIP bypass installed. Here's a good read on it http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/174030-secondary-air-injection-pump-failure-v8s-important.html

The user slyfox75 makes a $60 kit that I've used on three 4.7's. The 4.0l V6 has the same problem.

[BroncoDork]

If the timing belt and water pump are being replaced (90k mile service interval), the frame has no rust (or has been replaced), buy it if it suits you. Rare to find a Gen 1 Tundra with low miles.

I had an '05 Limited, smooth, quiet, comfortable truck. '05 and newer got the VVt-i V8 and 5-spd auto. I replaced the steering rack bushings with polyurethane to clean up a little shimmy, slapped a Hellwig antisway bar on the rear.

[Dunit35]

I purchased the truck. Took a long look underneath and couldn't find any leaks. Carfax checked out as well.

I bought an extended warranty on my Jeep. Apparently if you get rid of said vehicle you get your money back on the warranty. I got back $1900 on the warranty. Which was a nice surprise. I said no to any extra warranty on this Tundra.

Borrowed $7400 and freed up nearly $14k in debt. Feels great. I'll try to pay it off within a year.

[notorious]

I've had two suburbans blow past 300k, and one is still an employee's work vehicle.


Take care of your stuff and it will last.

that's true.

[btlook1]

NOt a tundra but I drive a 2014 tacoma purchased new with 70K on it, not a problem yet and I still have my mancard!! I have 2 chevy's and a dodge also and have seen issues with everyone of them especially the 2000 dodge son of a bitch is broke down everytime you look at it funny!
