'05 Tundra has 50k miles and only back to dealer for one recall....thank God...Toyota dealers never treated me as well as their vehicles. Love this "light-weight" 9/10 truck that can't tow 10,000# yet suspiciously has MORE payload capacity than the new Tundra.....makes ya go hmmmmmm.
I also have an '03 Ram 3500 with over 180k miles pulling 12,000#-15,000# horse trailers nearly 100% of the miles. Big difference between that and any of the 1/2 ton out there.
Just look how Toyota's bed shakes in the durability demo. I wouldn't take the truck down a dirt road.
i'm currently looking at a 2001 tacoma, prerunner, w/ 115K miles. it appears to be in excellent condition, from original owner, asking $7,500. OR, 2003 tundra access cab, excellent from original owner, asking $8,200.
i'd like to keep the truck forever, and give it to my 10 year old son to drive when he turns 16.
THOUGHTS???
THANKS!!!!
As far as the "look", I think you would be sitting higher off the floor of that Tundra (remembering my pals '99 tacoma) so your pant legs might stay cleaner.
Hope that helps!

Do any of you know where it is?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Thanks.
Having said that, seems to me if you really like the looks of the Avalanche and you buy a Toyota, you're going to be looking longingly everytime a nice-looking Chevy goes by and feel 'geez, I really should've got one'. And you may very well have good luck with the Chevy. Suggestion...check out Consumer Reports (takes a lot of the emotion out of it) and the threads on Edmunds here (caution...more people write to complain than those who write and praise on just about anything). Regards, BGood
Another factor to consider is dealership honesty/character/quality in terms of their service reputation. I've been to 2 Toyota dealerships within 10 miles of each other over the years: one has been "fairly" honest in their maintenance/service advice and costs and did me several cost-reduction "favors" on specific service (reduced-cost oil changes regularly, a free tire rotation now and then), and always got me in when I needed to. The other has just bent over backwards to accomodate me (oil changes never take more than 20 minutes, price is always reduced to the "coupon-special" of $22 without the coupon, once accidently over-charged me on an item by $10, apologized and gave me a free oil change, work always done exactly the way I want it, minor warranty items taken care-of with no hassle, etc, etc) and that's from a BIG dealership with genuinely NICE, FRIENDLY people. I can't say enough good about them and I trust their service people. That's a BIG plus. Regards, BGood
And the person recommending the odometer reset was confused, because that's used to reset the maintenance light. Your manual covers all of this.
I just noticed an engine oil leak in my 2005 Toyota Tundra ( 2wd, dc, 99k mi ). I have been keeping it very well maintained and have never towed anything with it. The high miles (mostly highway) are due to my long commute to work.
I thought, being a toyota, it would be trouble free ( except maitenance ) for at least 200k miles.
I've seen similar complaints on lower miles tundras and it seems to be the rear main seal. Do you know how much this would cost to fix ?
Thanks

I'm trading my 2005 4.7L V8 4Runner 77000 miles for a 4X4-5.7L tundra(SR5)Payoff for 4runner is $15,200... after much searching the best deal I got from a dealer is $36,000 @ 0% for 60 months(downpayment of $3000) and a monthly payment of $600.This includes my trade-in.
I live in NY long Island.
Please kindly advice if this is worth.
Thanks
You should be buying the Tundra at or under invoice. See Edmunds pricing for the numbers. Take a look at Edmunds and KBB trade-in values for a ballpark of what they should be offering for your 4Runner. Your payoff doesn't matter in putting a value on the vehicles so leave that out of the mix.
$ 36000 includes my
1.My trade-in: 2005 4.7L V8-4Runner-which has a payoff of $15000.00(dealer told me that he would take care this payment).
2.A down payment of $ 3000.00
3.Monthy payment of $600.00 for 60 months.(0% interest)
Tunder V8 CM TRD RW package: $34,000 (invoice).
Trade value: $12,500 (this is a guess assuming SR5 4Runner V8 in good cond)
Net: $21,500
Payoff: $15,000
Subtotal: $36,500
Plus Tax on purchase price: $1,200 (this is a guess, adjust for local tax rates)
Total: $37,700
Less Downpayment: $3,000
Balance Due: $34,700
Seems like there should be $1,000 on the table unless there are more options on the truck or your trade isn't "average" for what you describe.
Thanks for the reply..I'm so in love with this truck..I couldn't resist and bought it 3 weeks ago..well I got it .. now I have to live with it..thanks though and please keep in touch.
--truck runs like crap after recall to adjust computer . Dealer says "Normal"
--Gutless towing my 2700 pound Tent Trailer. Advertised to tow 10,000 with ease (my Tacoma does a better job)
--Poor paint quality. Paint comes off truck with every little bump. Nothing you can rub out or touch up. Repaint the truck or live with the white undercoating showing through
--Radio volume does not work and stations drift off of where set
--Dash vents will not stay in adjusted position, you have a choice of full up or full down. Dealer reluctant to fix due to need to pull the dash. Says Dash will start to rattle when they fix it. Dash already rattles. So Add;
--Excessive dash rattle
--Loud engine noise similar to valve tapping. Dealer Says "normal" even though I have never heard it before, sounds like a diesel from inside the cab
--Tranny shifts hard when cold, You guessed it, the dealer says "normal" Did not happen in the first year of driving the truck
One more thing I should mention, the truck has a whopping 17,000 miles on it. Oh joy, I wonder hat happens when I reach 20,000.
I have a 2007 Tundra double cab eight foot bed. When I get into the truck, it is a gamble if the volume knob will work. I emailed Toyota to see if there was a recall on this problem.
I have a friend who also owns a 2007 Tundra. He had to take his in for the same reason, radio volume problems. He put high mileage on his quickly. So it was with the 3 year / 36000 warranty. I purchased mine March 2008 and I only have 25,000 miles on it. Please pass this on if you have friends with a Tundra. I will place this on Facebook.
I just purchased a 2007 Tundra 5.7 with 33k miles on it a couple months ago. I love the truck (even though the saddle leather is very delicate), but what's up with the tranny? Are they all this wonkey or is it just me??
