Home and Auto Toyota Tundra - Page 3

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.

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.

Thanks. That's what I like to hear.

It's not that hard to keep them going if you're willing to do some work to them yourself.

I haven't had a car payment since 2003.

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.

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.

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.

This would be enough for me to steer clear... A Sweets endorsement

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.
