so far i have 28k on it and as yet have no break downs
anyway the truck is a bit small for me when ive been in it all day.
on other boards that ive been to and looked at have noticed other owners complaining about their brakes. so far i havent touched my brakes or had any problems with the brakes. one other courier also has a tundra i heard that he had to have his brakes replaced at 10,000 miles. must be driving like its a race car.
V6 AC 4x2 V8 DC 4x4
8/1/04 web site 18/25 17/22?
9/1/04 web site 16/20 15/18
9/15/04 press release 18/22 14/17
Sticker ? 15/18
All numbers are with automatic. The 9/15 press release shows the V6 as having a 4 spd transmission. It comes with a 5 spd auto. Some dealer web sites carries the 8/1/04 numbers back in August. I have not checked to see what they are posting now.
I also did a comparison between the V6 in the Tundra and Tacoma using the press release specifications.
Tundra Tacoma
size 4.0L 4.0L
displacement 3956 3956
horsepower 245 245 both @ 5400 rpm
torque 282 282 both @ 3800 rpm
compression ratio 10.1 10.1
recommended fuel 87 91
emissions LEV LEV-II
Looks to me that the engines are the same. With identical hp, torque, and compression you would think the motors would use the same fuel. anyone from Toyota want to explain the change in MPG nunbers or why the two engines need different fuel?

Sick of paying a premium for a false idea about the current Toyotas being bullet-proof and exponentially more reliable than other vehicles. Without Lexus Toyota is 9th in quality behind Chevy, Caddy and Buick........CHEVY !!!!
$1100 for brakes, $600+ for exhaust manifold, seatbelt issues, etc. Being $close to $2000 deep in out of pocket repairs after paying a premium for a Toyota is BS and the thing that is driving me away is their attitude. Flaws are acceptable their customer service is non-existent, frankly they suck.
Too bad, the new Tacoma looks pretty nice but I just can't do it knowing they don't stand behind their designs and product, so why pay a premium.

Beware, that alternator is mounted down low, protected by the skid plate, but not from any mud that may get splashed up there and right into the brushes... note to self, mud makes a better insulator than conductor!
Again, this is BRAND NEW. I'm just driving it home.
Toyota uses the code "TO" to indicate tow package.
Interested in the MAAP Challenger running boards that Toyota sells as an accessory.
Anyone have these? How do they look? Other info?
Thnx
thnx
If it is not designed to run on premium - using it does not improve MPG - or increase power - the only thing it does is cost you $.20 more per gallon.
Does anyone have any helpful information about the 4 door Toyota Tundra?
We have a 1989 Toyota pickup that has almost 250,000. We have never had any trouble with it, but it is just not big enough for our family. I just usually drive it to/from work.
We have 2 young children and an looking for something big enough for the 4 of us, with plenty of leg room. My husband is pushing for a Toyota Sienna van, but I really want a 4 door pickup.
Just looking for some helpful information about the 4 door Toyota Tundra.
Anyone know if there is another state that has em?
Ok, do I get a $50 finders fee?
The trend in trucks is bigger and bigger while the reality of gas prices are making me want to go smaller,not bigger.The next Tundra will be bigger yet so I want one now.I am willing to buy out of state if need be. Thanks!
Another tip, get the dealer to throw in running boards, anybody under 6 feet or so will have to hop into the cab. My mother is 5'2" and I had to give her an up turned bucket to stand on, or should wouldn't have made it inside. Kids have difficulty too, especially in winter, because of snow getting on their knees.

My question is, what problems have been known for these trucks? I've seen transmission and brake issues named. Anything else? I noticed some rust on the one I'm looking at, is that common thing as well? Inside the front bumper on either side of the license plate bracket there is rust. I also noticed some rust stains (or else red mud stains) on the carpet inside the truck. The dealer says it's a Toyota Certified used truck, but it looks to me a lot like a flood victim.
I was very impressed with the ride and drive of the truck. The price they want is $15,990. Carfax showed 2 previous owners, but was clean. Any advice? Thanks,

What are some of the major differences that made you buy your truck?
I know Titan as more power but Tundra has a more refined smooth ride. I like the Titan's color choices better. With both equiped similarly it seems the Tundra is less expensive. What to do? :confuse:
