1st Gen Tundra 340,000 Mile Honest Owners Review / Toyota Reliability???

- Опубліковано 26 лют 2024
- Here is my 2000 Toyota Tundra that has 340k miles. This truck has been great to me but not without its issues.
Number one should be no car payment.... 😁👍
Nice, I have a 2005 tundra 4.7 access cab with 412,235 miles.
That’s awesome man!
Mines at 278k. I’m just getting started then 😌
Dope
I owned a 2000 Tundra SR5. I got 205,000 miles before selling it. I didn't know any better at the time. I replaced starter, and then the front end components at 200,000 miles. It was extremely dependable.
I now have 3 Toyota Tundras. I have another 2000 SR5, a 2003 and 2004 Limited. Here are the common issues: check engine light for oxygen sensors, door device mentioned in video for my 2000, had coil issues on 2000 but finally solved with premium OEM plugs and lifetime coils replaced all at the same time for the 2000, seat belt recoil, rear leaf springs in 2003 and 2004 replaced both with new leaf springs that have a 4th leaf and solved that issue (still rides smooth), at some point they will all have a sticking caliper so I replace both and get the Italia drilled and grooved rotors from brakeworld and get the ceramic pads they recommend so won't have to do again for a long time, no major rust issues but Toyota took beds off 2003 and 2004 and treated, upgraded radios on all 3 with modern Bluetooth, lifetime Sirius, navigation (sony was best due to using app on phone and plug into radio and never have to update navigation, since navigation stays updated on app), headlights terrible in all 3 trucks and replaced plastic and put in plug and play LED bulbs and is awesome!, upgraded interior mirrors to have garage door opener, outside temperature to monitor road condition and autodim, rear bumper replaced on 2000 due to rust.
The very first Toyota had regular oil changed at 4,000 miles regularly. These other trucks have been changed to full synthetic and 10,000 mile oil filters. The 2000 has 104,000 miles, 2003 has around 160,000 miles, 2004 has 175,000 miles. No transmission issues on any of these automatic Tundras I have owned. I do like to have a FULL flush of torque converter and transmission every 100,000 miles.
I have an 02 first gen Tundra that just turned 340,000 this week.
I originally paid $2,500.00 for it 6 years ago.
I bought it from a handyman who used it as his work truck since new, it had 283,000 on it when I bought it. It has a few dings and she needs new carpet but I'm pretty sure she's the best overall vehicle that I've ever owned.
I've changed out the water pump and starter, the timing belt and pullys, she runs like a champ!
I've owned all of them, Ford, Chevy and Dodge, both diesel and gas, and my Tundra is definitely the tough guy on the block, the thing is unbelievable.
I've had it in sub zero temperatures in snow blizzards, driving in whiteouts, with compact snow and ice and the truck performed superior just like its cousins, the 4 Runner and the Landcruser.
My little Tundra is the vehicle that I depend on as my daily go to, we love it.
I actually drive the Tundra as my daily driver and leave my 2017 L71 Duramax at home unless we're using our camper or pulling the boat.
Awesome story these trucks are great!
I just bought an 02 with 259k. Runs like a fucking beast. I’ve gotta do the struts and lower ball joints hoping that’s all for a while
I have the same story. Got my 2nd one at 285k for $2,000 with a brand new timing belt. It was an oil field worker's that beat it up on rough roads, hauling a huge generator around. 7 years later, I'm just over 400k with countless adventures and it never left me stranded. I've done a starter, an alternator, brakes, but that's pretty much it. Recently it started to struggle up hills, ones I've never had a problem with, even with a 1,200lb truck camper, so I guess it's time is near. These trucks really do just keep going. I'm buying my 3rd one any day now. I've had 5 Toyotas, two of them over 400k and one over 350k. I will never buy anything else. Toyota for life.
You should ditch the LSPV in the rear to do the manual wilwood valve mod, Im doing mine this weekend . heard its amazing especially since you have your front brakes done , even doing the T100 break booster dual diaphragm swap
That’s a great idea! I need to do that
Use a pressure washer to clean the seatbelt. You can pull it outside of the cab without disconnecting It is all the grease and grime that makes it quit retracting.
It will come to life, look and retract like new
Man, I love my tundra as well. 275k on it and I basically have all the same problems with worn out components minus the engine accessories.
It was a "budget" vehicle that is turning into not such a budget vehicle with all the modifications I've done to it over the years. But on the flip side I'm saving a ton of money on the purchase price of a new truck that I would end up spending all this mod money on as well.
Although I will say the OEM's are starting to turn out some pretty capable offroaders at the top trim levels that already have lifts, 33s etc brand new. My daughter loves camping and offroading and wants the truck so I'll wait and see where these new vehicles are when i pass this truck down
My engine accessories didn’t start going out until I went over 300k
Very nice video. Thank you for sharing that. I am the original owner of a 2001 SR5 tundra. Mine came with the 3.4 L liter dual overhead cam V6. I bought it with 4 miles on the truck. I now have 272,000 miles on the truck and it has out ran many of the other cars I’ve had in the same 24 year. Period they are just indestructible if you do minor care with them. Brakes have gone bad several times, as have catalytic converters. Had the whole top end of the engine, rebuilt, and of course every 80,000 miles I do the timing belt and water pump. Other than that, the truck is just phenomenal. And with new trucks costing $70,000, I think I will just keep fixing my Gen 1 tundra.
I agree! It would nice to have something without so many frequent issues though
Agreed. When base model trucks start at 50k, I'll fork out the cash to repair mine before greedy dealers ever see a cent from me.
About what mileage did you have to replace starter, alternator, and radiator?
@@AztekM1 my starter went out around 300k shortly after followed the radiator. At around 330k when I was 8 hours away from home my alternator went out. I replaced it in a autozone parking lot 😂
This is also the 1st year model of the Tundra, most 1st year model of any vehicle will have tons of problems. So 300k+ mile is impressive.
That’s my same thoughts as well
Love it! I've got an '05 double cab v8 myself and I've been dying to get a steel front bumper but I just recently discovered the bumper chop mod aswell as your own build! It seems like a no brainer to just cut or remove the bumper and get a similar or even better approach angle for rock climbing and off roading as compared to an aftermarket bumper. And MUCH cheaper lmao. What would you recommend to people?
You have my next truck lol I’ve been wanting to upgrade a 05-06 limited double cab! Definitely cheaper and like you said you would have just the same amount of approach angle. The only challenge is finding a way to mount a winch. For myself I went the diy route and did my own winch mount.
@Drewsoffroadgarage23 What was the process for you? Just remove the bumper, trim the excess plastic guards and paint it all black? Got any tips or any heads up on things I should know?
@@rickymedina7563 yes all I did was remove the bumper and fender liners and then I trimmed the metal behind the bumper at an angle in order to make it look better. Pretty simple, mounting the winch plate is little more complicated
@Drewsoffroadgarage23 thanks for the info it is definitely on my to do list in the next couple weeks who knows maybe I'll try to make a video about it haha. I did have a question about something though, so the guys I've seen who have cut their front bumpers all seem to remove that front metal support that you mounted your winch to. Would you recommend leaving it on or removing it? Particularly if a winch is not in the plans for right now. Do you think its structurally important for safety or anything?
@@rickymedina7563 I don’t think it matters too much. That piece is more for reinforcement and to absorb impact on crashes
Thanks
Hey man, im in middle TN and looking for a 1st gen tundra. Are you in middle tn? Would love to pick your brain on them and also live help trying to find one!
I’m in west Tennessee near Memphis. If you’re ever in the area let me know I’d be happy to talk with you. I’m actually thinking about selling mine if you’d be interested
@@Drewsoffroadgarage thanks man and I’m trying to kind of build mine from scratch I actually found one in East TN with only 177k and in Kentucky with 160 I am going to try to look at them soon. Also debating to get a double cab or not I do have two little ones and going from my 16 f150 crew cab to an access cab will be a big change
@@MikeyO615 yeah I would definitely recommend going with a double cab then. The access cab back seats are basically useless
@@Drewsoffroadgarage I just live the look of the access cabs. Idk what to do I’m torn. I do know I’m done with new trucks and ford and Chevy. Never owned a dodge but the Toyotas my family have had are still running strong
@@MikeyO615 yeah I can’t blame you although if you plan to carry anyone in your back seats I would recommend going with a double cab
170K on my 2004. 4.7 V8..
Is that the timbrim bump stop in the front?
Yes it is! Good eye
Hello, would like to get some led rock lights?
@mictuning Yes! I’ve been wanting to add some rock lights to the tundra for awhile now
your email pls@@Drewsoffroadgarage
What wheels are those?
Stock steel spare wheels that I painted gold
@@Drewsoffroadgarage 16s? They look good. I'm looking for some steelies for 1st gen sequoia
Yes they’re 16s. I love the look too
@@Drewsoffroadgarage absolutely love the old school cool. Will have to emulate
@@user-zb7nk7pp7z do it!
Our ‘15 Canyon went to 375k before it lost the oil pump with way less work than what you’ve done to this truck. Actually, very little. And you don’t even know/state what work was done the first 280k. Toyota trucks are good for sure, but also way overrated.
I love this truck and think it’s great. Compared to other Toyota guys I know mine seems to have the most issues. I wanted to make this review so people would know realistically what ownership of a 24 year old 340k tundra is. Saying all this compared to the other brands Toyota is still the most reliable and I’d get another one tomorrow.
Best thing is that a 2001 Tundra is worth more than the ‘15 canyon lol
@@brantschenkrealtorProbably. There are plenty of people that think they are a step ahead by spending time and money working on their truck every weekend rather than having a car payment.
@@Holden-McGroinLOL internet you can type whatever and it comes true! No damn Canyon ever did that many miles.
@@jaymoar3561 I guess that will be your little secret. Give me your email, and I’ll send you a screenshot of the odometer.
