Tundras can tow but the payload is nothing to brag about even for a half ton. Not to mention long beds are almost non existent. I really wish Toyota and Honda had chosen to make heavy duty pickups. Who knows what the future holds but it’s unlikely it’ll ever happen if it hasn’t by now.
(My EV Rant) > I don't want to drive a computer, i don't want a computer to drive me! I don't want to interact with my vehicle i want to drive and control the vehicle myself. I don't need any help to drive my own car. This smart vehicle (if you want to call it that) is a stupid idea. I will never own a high tech EV. i'll buy a horse instead that way i can interact with my ride in a more natural way like god intended us to live our life. Screw all this extra high technology crap cause thats what it is. The American public never wanted crap like this there pushing this junk down every ones throat. I don't want a car that will put out a boatload of (RFs) that will give me and my passengers cancer. Oh our high tech vehicles won't cause cancer! Yeah right !!!
Scotty.. just bought a 2016 Tundra 2wd double cab 4.7 with 70,000 miles. Super clean, $21,000. Anything to watch for with that year? Still consider that to be a "bullet proof truck"???
My 2004 Tundra double cab 4.7 L 330,000 miles no problems just gas and oil Oil changes. What a beast. High mileage doesn’t concern me with these trucks. As long as they had preventive maintenance throughout its life❤ ❤❤
I love this guy, ive followed your advice after 10 of not having a car. I was looking for a 09 camry after i heard its the last manual body style. Ironically i was actually looking for a tundra 1st. Then a tacoma. And after losing out on the camry i wanted un the right color i said screw it. Just get a good daily. I ended up with an 04 corolla. This little car has been amazing. So have to give it to scotty, little toyota with a manual is a great car to get around
I have a 2000 tundra in mint condition. Paid 7000 for it with 128000 miles 6 years ago. It now has 230000. Still looks and runs perfect. Best vehicle I have ever owned. And I've already had the timing belt and starter replaced too
2/1/2024 found a 2000 tundra 2WD 4.7 with 162,000 miles, garage kept, and I swear the interior is mint. I feel like I stole it for $7,800 considering what they usually sell for
I just inherited a rare Lucchese (#42 of 500) 2006 4.7l V8 Tundra and I can attest to its workability, I had 0 knowledge on how to work on vehicles at all in the 2 months I've had it, but since then I've been able to change the timing belt, lower ball joints, full fluid service, drive train service, all 8 IC/Spark Plugs, radiator, fan clutch, all 4 wheels, and even did the valve cover gaskets. Seriously, if anyone is on the fence about getting one of these, I HIGHLY recommend them.
I just bought a 2003 v8 Toyota Tundra with 189,000 miles for $5000 in Houston, Tx man can I tell you felt like a dream come true! These trucks will be with you for your grandchildren to drive one day 🙏
I have a 98 T100 4x4 I bought new that my son drives now. Has over 260k miles and runs great. The 3.4L V6 is the most reliable truck engine Toyota ever made in my opinion.
I just bought a 2004 tundra double cab four-wheel drive with 249,000 miles, made in Indiana! Got a great deal on it! I will easily get another twenty years out of it!! Super excited
@@alanrodriguez125 I got it for cheap because it needed new ball joints and a few other minor things which I did myself and it was a family friend. I would buy it with 300,000 as long as it runs good and has been maintained, make sure to change the timing belt if it hasn't been done within last 100,000 miles. Also make sure there is no serious rust on the frame. Good luck.
I'd say Fords aren't too bad either. My grandfather and uncle have been Ford guys for a long time. They seem to last quite awhile, and my uncle beats the tar out of his trucks. For me, it was a toss up between an F150 and a Tundra when my '99 Dakota went out. Was just a matter of what I came across at a good price first. Just so happened to be an '01 Tundra.
I have 2005 Base 2door with a 4.0 V6, six speed manual, only mod is super spring, to my Kubota L4330 on 16' trailer. very nice truck gets 19mpg, bought it new for 12.500.00 has 270000 miles.
I have a daily driver 05 Toyota Tundra 4.7 liter that I have had for 8 years with 344.000 miles on it and it still idles smooth and gets the same gas mileage as the day I bought it with 144,000 miles on it plus when cleaned up it looks new.
I've got an Indiana built 2002 Tundra. I bought it in 2014 with 95,000 miles. It got a new frame in 2012. I've got the V6 with a five speed manual transmission. I firmly believe it is one of the best pickups ever made.
I got a 2001 tundra with the 4.7, i haul more and off-road harder then most of friends with diesels and jeeps. The old tundra passed everything but the gas station but you can not kill them! There is not a better daily driver plus it’s a Toyota so you know it’s safe if you ever do get in an accident
I just bought one last month.... 02 Tundra access 2wd access cab with 4.7L and has 225k on it with a new timing belt 10k ago..... it was a 1 owner and I got it for 8k... absolutely mint. Runs like a champ!! 02 is the last year the motors where made in Japan! There is zero oil leaks or even seepage for that mater... absolutely bone dry on the outside of the motor, I think this motor has an easy 1/2 million to give... also zero rust... I found this on a fluke... wasn't heavily advertised. Absolute pleasure to drive....
Yeah Scotty! I just paid $13K for an 06’ Limited, crew cab with the v8. But it’s BEAUTIFUL! 140K miles, new timing belt, new water pump, new, brakes new battery and new Nitro all terrain tires! It’s amazing.
@@eugene44569 he probably means there’s only 4 used Tundras in Norway, likely imported and being that they’re so rare the value is super high no matter their configuration
I just bought a 2006 Tundra. I intentionally went for the last of the 1st gen Tundras. It rides like a cloud and is tough as nails. I bought my 06 4 door 4x4 for $9999. Love it.
My 2004 Tundra was built in Indiana with a 3.4L V-6 and five-speed manual transmission. Under the right conditions, it gets 25 MPG. It still has the original brakes and clutch. I do think that I will need brakes in a year. The only failure was the heating element on the #2 O2 sensor died. It cost me $45.00 for the replacement O2 sensor and 20 minutes of my time. Can you say "bulletproof"?
@@twill9278 I do have some mods to my truck. 1-KN performance intake, 2-TRD racing headers, 3-Gale Banks monster exhaust. I also run all synthetic lubricants including the grease in my driveline joints. I usually get 22-25 mpg on the highway and about 20 mpg in city driving. I am using a "scangauge" to read the MPG right from the ECU computer.
I snatched up a 2006 Tundra Step Side Access Cab from a dealership about a year ago. paid $12k but the thing was MINT, garage kept, 180k miles. Blacked out, raised up, thing is *chef's kiss badass. Will drive it till the wheels fall off
I own a 2003 Tundra limited 4X4. Have owned it for 18 yrs. I have had a solid vehicle without issues other than a few recalls. I would hate to ever turn her loose.👍🏼
I’ve got 176k miles on my 2004 Lexus rx330 No issues other than oil changes, tires, and brakes. Just got the timing belt changed and hoping to get at least another 5 years out of her.
I have an Indiana built 05 double cab. Bought it in 08 for 17k 47,000 miles. I have been driving it for 15 yrs still love it. My best friend has an 02 tundra TRD, bought it new. It's still daily driver with 460k miles
I bought my 2000 Tundra Limited 4x4 in 1999 when the first Tundras were released. It was a solid, super reliable truck that I drove every day for 8 ½ years until I traded it on a 2007 Tundra. Loved that truck.
Love everything Scotty say about this truck, however there is a major misstatement (2min 55) regarding the timing belt and the design of the engine. 2000 to 2004 V8 4.7l are NOT INTERFERENCE EMGINE. Therefore if your timing belt brakes, just get everything back in time and install a new belt. My son’s 2001 lost the belt at 75 mph on interstate, we bought it a few weeks back and obviously it desperately needed a new one. It was sitting for months and we should have replaced it immediately. Anyway, replaced this weekend and the Tundra is as good as new. I don’t recommend to wait until it brakes but this isn’t the end if it does. Luckily we knew 2 Toyota mechanics and they both told us not to panic, these models years are literally bulletproof. Hopefully this will help as the internet isn’t always right.
Good to know about the non interfence engine. I’m negotiating on price with a family friend about buying his 2002 tundra 4.7 2wd with 122k miles . Great mechanical condition and runs smooth..
Honestly, I probably won't put a supercharger on my 06 Tundra because I bought it specifically with longevity in mind... Getting a little extra power to push around 300hp would be pretty nice though. Oh well, maybe I'll buy a "toy" one day to play around with power numbers. It may sound silly or stupid to others, but it sounds like a fun project to me.
@@AUDACITY4Uphotographer 2002 , we have the cable throttle link , 2005/2006 r fancy as hell with the double cab and back window that lowers , I would recommend those years if you are going to get a 1st gen , only years they made the double cab
I had a 2007 ram 2500 hemi that I did a ton of work to, tires,brakes, suspension work. Towed a trailer that I think weighed around 8k 600 miles and got a transmission noise …it’s toast. This was WELL within its rating (around 11k) but it just couldn’t do it. Got an 07 tundra to make the next trip. We are moving and I need a reliable truck that won’t break every. 5 minutes ..and yes….it has the “made in USA” badge under the hood.
The Tundra prices just went up further. Lol. I have a 2004 Tundra with 94k miles. Everything works. Rides like a dream and runs like a top. Love the engine.
I have a 2002 4.7L Tundra. Has 162,000 miles on it, and it still runs and looks like new. The timing belt was changed at 91,000 miles. The fact that there are still so many of these on the road is a testament to their reliability. I've had a lot of people ask if I was interested in selling it. I absolutely love mine, and wouldn't trade or sell it for anything! Judging from the longevity other folks get from their Tundras, it'll probably out last me!
My dad's 2002 Tundra lasted 428k miles. The Engine recently blew due to poor maintenance, just had a 90k mile engine installed. These Tundra's last forever.
Owned a 2000 Tundra TRD Off Road Access Cab 4X4 V8. Put 210,000 k miles it, and needed better off road capabilities, so I bought a 2011 Tacoma TRD Off Road Double Cab with locking rear diff, A-Trac, and more! It is a beast off road, but I sometimes miss the 4.7l V8!
My favorite pickup is a Ssangyong Musso Sport. You know why? I had a business in Senegal and drove about 40.000 miles in 3 years before I sold it (still running). Equipped with a 2.9 liter 5 cylinder turbocharged diesel it can officially pull 7.5 tons incl its weight. It's a licensed Mercedes engine. I had a range of easily 1000 km on a tank filling wich is 80 liters under very hard conditions and fully loaded. I did extremely tough offroading including desert type conditions and in the jungle. Sometimes no roads just riverbeds. We put in a higher suspension in the back for 25cm more clearance and when fully loaded the trailoer hitch touched the road sometimes. It was really wild and I praise the lord for giving me this experience. You cannot imagine the road conditions over there and it never let me down. And the mechanics always could fix it because it is so simple. Btw I am a petrolhead myself, that is why I love your show.
Bought a 2000 2wd v8 Tundra last year with 317k miles and hauled a camper that was probably around 9-10k pounds for 4 hours while the tow hitch was half way to the ground. Still using that Tundra with 322k miles now as a daily driver while getting my other car (with only 68k miles on it) fixed up. That's how reliable those trucks are.
Yep - solid trucks for sure. My brother has a 2000 Tundra that he got used around 15 years ago. Normally, he's the sort of person that cycles his vehicles every 3 to 5 years (sometimes even less) but that Tundra is the one vehicle he never gets rid of. After tons of use over the last decade and a half, he said he's still spent nothing on it other than brakes and oil changes.
Had a 1997 F-250 SD with the 7.3turbo diesel, I sold it last year for $2500, I paid $4000 when it had 150k. When I sold it it had 400k+ miles. The speedometer had broken years ago. Now the amazing part. This was a work truck. On any given day it was pulling a 18k backhoe on a trailer or carrying 2 pallets of concrete bags, or tons of rebars. Last few years I was doing demolition. it would carry the full size ext bed with concrete ruble way over the top. Anyway, never replaced turbo, transmissions, rear end, or anything major. Just fuel pumps, and filters. Of course the inside and things like power handles kept breaking off. The Truck paid for itself many many times over... BTW the guy I sold it to, a mechanic, turned into a portable service truck and it is still running. So Scotty, your Toyota is not even close.
I had a 1998 T100, 4X4 for seventeen years. My nephew is still driving that truck and lives in Des Moines, Iowa. It has over 310,000 miles on it and has never had a serious problem.
Scotty, you never seen my tundra, 2003 389,000 first timing belt lasted 365,000. It was a Hoosier truck, I think the Hoosier gods sprinkled it with pixie dust, it is magic
5:47 The 2UZ has pretty thin connecting rods, so forced induction isn't really an option if you want reliable power because it can break them. This is why Toyota barely sold TRD superchargers for it. If you really want to have more power in the 2UZ, you should swap in thicker early-year (89-94) 1UZ connecting rods or forged aftermarket ones first.
I just bought a 2000 with 496k. Paid 2K, TRD package 4x4, everything works except the driver window motor is slow. Unreal how well it runs. Transmission had MINOR shudder coming out of OD, Lucas trans fix and good as new.
I got a 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500 w/4.8L 206,000mi later,...still going! All I've done was general maintenance and changed the radiator. FM part of the radio doesn't work and a coolant leak I can't find, other than that, still rides down the road. Next truck more than likely will be a...NISSAN TITAN! :p
I just bought a ‘01 Tundra extra cab for 9,000 with 113,000 miles from original owner here in California and people say i paid to much but this truck runs and looks great and I’m going to tell these people who told me I paid to much to go see Scotty channel taking about these Tundras trucks.
@@210SAi He gave me all the service records for the truck he had done at Toyota dealer and my son works for Toyota and he ran the Vin number on the truck and my son told me I got a good deal and he said trucks in this condition usually go for 12,000 in this condition
Bought my 2000 Tundra 4x4 TRD Off Road 4.7 motor in 2010 for around $9000 with 150,000 miles on it. Now have 224,000 miles and repairs were new timing belt, muffler, radiator, couple of ignitions coils, right power steering rack which rusted out. Just bought 2021 Tundra so will eventually sell the 2000 for around $8,000. Also own a 2000 Camry and 2013 Highlander.
Japanese engineering is amazing. I have 2 Honda generators and it's amazing how well they are designed. I've owned Toyotas, Hondas and an Acura for decades, all were unbelievably reliable.
He means the engines use no oil which is typical of a Toyota engine as long as you take care of it if you don’t it will break just like any other engine
I like the older tundra's I had a 95 toyota t100 with the 3.4 v6 I drove it til it was totaled in 2016 I bough a 2006 tundra for 7000 to repalce the t100 and it has the 4.0 v6 but its gone from 160k miles to 244k miles and its still a good truck. I recently went to las vegas with it and it gave me no issues.

Love those 4.7 engines!! Great low-end torque and run smooth as butter! The occasional timing belt job is more than worth it!
but they slower then the ram 1500 nd the f150

There is not a better daily driver plus it’s a Toyota so you know it’s safe if you ever do get in an accident
I was between Silverado off the lot and a 2016 tundra 65k mi. After talking dozen ppl it was an easy decision, took the tundra.
I just bought one last month.... 02 Tundra access 2wd access cab with 4.7L and has 225k on it with a new timing belt 10k ago..... it was a 1 owner and I got it for 8k... absolutely mint. Runs like a champ!! 02 is the last year the motors where made in Japan! There is zero oil leaks or even seepage for that mater... absolutely bone dry on the outside of the motor, I think this motor has an easy 1/2 million to give... also zero rust... I found this on a fluke... wasn't heavily advertised. Absolute pleasure to drive....
Yeah Scotty! I just paid $13K for an 06’ Limited, crew cab with the v8.
But it’s BEAUTIFUL!
140K miles, new timing belt, new water pump, new, brakes new battery and new Nitro all terrain tires! It’s amazing.
Hello from Norway Scotty! Of all the 4 tundras for sale here the cheapest one is a 2008 model for 40k!
I thought they were only sold in North America
@@eugene44569 he probably means there’s only 4 used Tundras in Norway, likely imported and being that they’re so rare the value is super high no matter their configuration
Holy Shi+😳
I have a 2004 Tundra and it’s a super clean crew cab and it’s been a great weekend truck and I love it. Very well built and easy to work on
I just bought a 2006 Tundra. I intentionally went for the last of the 1st gen Tundras. It rides like a cloud and is tough as nails. I bought my 06 4 door 4x4 for $9999. Love it.
Do you tow with it?
My 2004 Tundra was built in Indiana with a 3.4L V-6 and five-speed manual transmission. Under the right conditions, it gets 25 MPG. It still has the original brakes and clutch. I do think that I will need brakes in a year. The only failure was the heating element on the #2 O2 sensor died. It cost me $45.00 for the replacement O2 sensor and 20 minutes of my time. Can you say "bulletproof"?
I've got the same truck but don't come close to 25 mpg. 15 is more like it.
@@twill9278 I do have some mods to my truck. 1-KN performance intake, 2-TRD racing headers, 3-Gale Banks monster exhaust. I also run all synthetic lubricants including the grease in my driveline joints. I usually get 22-25 mpg on the highway and about 20 mpg in city driving. I am using a "scangauge" to read the MPG right from the ECU computer.
I have a 2003 4x4 tundra with the same engine and it gets 25 MPG on the open road. I will not get rid of it. Best truck and engine ever.
I snatched up a 2006 Tundra Step Side Access Cab from a dealership about a year ago. paid $12k but the thing was MINT, garage kept, 180k miles. Blacked out, raised up, thing is *chef's kiss badass. Will drive it till the wheels fall off
You can't go wrong with any year tundra I've had a 2013 and 2019 all great trucks.
I own a 2003 Tundra limited 4X4. Have owned it for 18 yrs. I have had a solid vehicle without issues other than a few recalls. I would hate to ever turn her loose.👍🏼
I’ve got 176k miles on my 2004 Lexus rx330
No issues other than oil changes, tires, and brakes.
Just got the timing belt changed and hoping to get at least another 5 years out of her.
I have an Indiana built 05 double cab. Bought it in 08 for 17k 47,000 miles. I have been driving it for 15 yrs still love it. My best friend has an 02 tundra TRD, bought it new. It's still daily driver with 460k miles
I bought my 2000 Tundra Limited 4x4 in 1999 when the first Tundras were released. It was a solid, super reliable truck that I drove every day for 8 ½ years until I traded it on a 2007 Tundra. Loved that truck.
Love everything Scotty say about this truck, however there is a major misstatement (2min 55) regarding the timing belt and the design of the engine.
2000 to 2004 V8 4.7l are NOT INTERFERENCE EMGINE. Therefore if your timing belt brakes, just get everything back in time and install a new belt.
My son’s 2001 lost the belt at 75 mph on interstate, we bought it a few weeks back and obviously it desperately needed a new one. It was sitting for months and we should have replaced it immediately. Anyway, replaced this weekend and the Tundra is as good as new.
I don’t recommend to wait until it brakes but this isn’t the end if it does.
Luckily we knew 2 Toyota mechanics and they both told us not to panic, these models years are literally bulletproof.
Hopefully this will help as the internet isn’t always right.
Good to know about the non interfence engine. I’m negotiating on price with a family friend about buying his 2002 tundra 4.7 2wd with 122k miles . Great mechanical condition and runs smooth..
Was the owner the guy leaning sexy on your beautiful celica? Lol
I know lol
Have seen many people in the background of his video's in TN
My guess is they are the labor force working on his house.
He introduced him on the video
@@brianklamer3328 "Working"?????
I don't even need a Toyota pick up but Scotty says they're good I want one Ill just put my other car in the back of it🤣👍
Did Scotty just give me permission to put a supercharger on my Tundra?
I think he gave you permission to put a supercharger on THAT Tundra.
When I bought my 2003 Tundra 4.7L, a supercharger was a dealer option.
Honestly, I probably won't put a supercharger on my 06 Tundra because I bought it specifically with longevity in mind... Getting a little extra power to push around 300hp would be pretty nice though. Oh well, maybe I'll buy a "toy" one day to play around with power numbers. It may sound silly or stupid to others, but it sounds like a fun project to me.
@@caedmonjones9982 nah, just slap a supercharger on the one u got now and send it
2uz loves boost id turbo it
Saw the headlights in the thumbnail, I knew it was a 1st gen , proud owner of one
What year do you own? I'm looking at getting a first gen double cab limited 2005/2006
@@AUDACITY4Uphotographer 2002 , we have the cable throttle link , 2005/2006 r fancy as hell with the double cab and back window that lowers , I would recommend those years if you are going to get a 1st gen , only years they made the double cab
Me tooooooo 04
I'd pay good money to see a video of Scotty getting into that Celica trunk.
I have and absolutely love the first gen tundra
That is great to hear. Bought my 2000 Tundra in 2018 for $9000 w/ 130K mi. Runs great,
Have multiple buddies who retired from the Princeton, IN Toyota plant. They all said the drivetrains were better in the old 4.7V8 vs the newer 5.7
I had a 2007 ram 2500 hemi that I did a ton of work to, tires,brakes, suspension work. Towed a trailer that I think weighed around 8k 600 miles and got a transmission noise …it’s toast. This was WELL within its rating (around 11k) but it just couldn’t do it. Got an 07 tundra to make the next trip. We are moving and I need a reliable truck that won’t break every. 5 minutes ..and yes….it has the “made in USA” badge under the hood.
The Tundra prices just went up further. Lol. I have a 2004 Tundra with 94k miles. Everything works. Rides like a dream and runs like a top. Love the engine.
Scotty has turned Clarksville into another must see town when you visit Tenn.
I think it just surpassed Dollywood on the list of "must see" destinations in the country.
I have a 2002 4.7L Tundra. Has 162,000 miles on it, and it still runs and looks like new. The timing belt was changed at 91,000 miles. The fact that there are still so many of these on the road is a testament to their reliability. I've had a lot of people ask if I was interested in selling it. I absolutely love mine, and wouldn't trade or sell it for anything! Judging from the longevity other folks get from their Tundras, it'll probably out last me!
My dad's 2002 Tundra lasted 428k miles. The Engine recently blew due to poor maintenance, just had a 90k mile engine installed. These Tundra's last forever.
My pops got one with 323k miles still running strong
I have a 96 T100 4x4 3.4 V6 and I love it they’re so rare so happy when Scotty talked about it never thought he knew about t100s lol
1:33 are we just gonna ignore the guy that's leaning on Scotty's celica?
Owned a 2000 Tundra TRD Off Road Access Cab 4X4 V8. Put 210,000 k miles it, and needed better off road capabilities, so I bought a 2011 Tacoma TRD Off Road Double Cab with locking rear diff, A-Trac, and more! It is a beast off road, but I sometimes miss the 4.7l V8!
I want someone talk about me the way Scotty talks about Toyotas
Nice rear window you got here.
Lemme wash it boi
My favorite pickup is a Ssangyong Musso Sport. You know why? I had a business in Senegal and drove about 40.000 miles in 3 years before I sold it (still running). Equipped with a 2.9 liter 5 cylinder turbocharged diesel it can officially pull 7.5 tons incl its weight. It's a licensed Mercedes engine. I had a range of easily 1000 km on a tank filling wich is 80 liters under very hard conditions and fully loaded. I did extremely tough offroading including desert type conditions and in the jungle. Sometimes no roads just riverbeds. We put in a higher suspension in the back for 25cm more clearance and when fully loaded the trailoer hitch touched the road sometimes. It was really wild and I praise the lord for giving me this experience. You cannot imagine the road conditions over there and it never let me down. And the mechanics always could fix it because it is so simple. Btw I am a petrolhead myself, that is why I love your show.
Bought a 2000 2wd v8 Tundra last year with 317k miles and hauled a camper that was probably around 9-10k pounds for 4 hours while the tow hitch was half way to the ground. Still using that Tundra with 322k miles now as a daily driver while getting my other car (with only 68k miles on it) fixed up. That's how reliable those trucks are.
Yep - solid trucks for sure. My brother has a 2000 Tundra that he got used around 15 years ago. Normally, he's the sort of person that cycles his vehicles every 3 to 5 years (sometimes even less) but that Tundra is the one vehicle he never gets rid of. After tons of use over the last decade and a half, he said he's still spent nothing on it other than brakes and oil changes.
Had a 1997 F-250 SD with the 7.3turbo diesel, I sold it last year for $2500, I paid $4000 when it had 150k. When I sold it it had 400k+ miles. The speedometer had broken years ago. Now the amazing part. This was a work truck. On any given day it was pulling a 18k backhoe on a trailer or carrying 2 pallets of concrete bags, or tons of rebars. Last few years I was doing demolition. it would carry the full size ext bed with concrete ruble way over the top. Anyway, never replaced turbo, transmissions, rear end, or anything major. Just fuel pumps, and filters. Of course the inside and things like power handles kept breaking off. The Truck paid for itself many many times over... BTW the guy I sold it to, a mechanic, turned into a portable service truck and it is still running. So Scotty, your Toyota is not even close.
Just bought a 2000 tundra 67,000 miles $3000.00.. Im a blessed man..Love it.
My wife just walked in. “why is that guy yelling”......
Haha my wife just walked by and said “can you put headphones on or something?”
Lmao
I had a 1998 T100, 4X4 for seventeen years. My nephew is still driving that truck and lives in Des Moines, Iowa. It has over 310,000 miles on it and has never had a serious problem.
High way miles 😂
Straight Mobbin’ with Scotty
You are my hero Scotty Kilmer! I have a 1993 F-250 with 130K miles...LOVE those OLD trucks
I have 2003 Tundra with 234T miles on it. It still runs like new. Love it. . .
My 2000 has 310k and runs perfect! Recent road trip 3300 miles and burned or leaked zero oil! And that is pushing 35" mud tires!
Last time I was this early, Scotty still had his own TV-show
There are three Tundras with over a million miles. Two 4.7 liters and one 5.7 liter. Cant wait to see what the new 2022 redesign has to offer.
A friend of mine bought a 2011 4x4 in 2013. Been trouble free. He told me they were real proud of them.
Scotty, you never seen my tundra, 2003 389,000 first timing belt lasted 365,000. It was a Hoosier truck, I think the Hoosier gods sprinkled it with pixie dust, it is magic
This video is the reason I got a 1st Gen Tundra
I picked one up. a 2010 with 50,000 klm with the 4.6 two years ago and have not looked back. Best truck I have owned yet. Cheers
5:47 The 2UZ has pretty thin connecting rods, so forced induction isn't really an option if you want reliable power because it can break them. This is why Toyota barely sold TRD superchargers for it. If you really want to have more power in the 2UZ, you should swap in thicker early-year (89-94) 1UZ connecting rods or forged aftermarket ones first.
I got an 03 Tundra for my first truck a few months ago and I love it
My 2000 V8 Tundra just went up $2k!!
I just bought a 2000 with 496k. Paid 2K, TRD package 4x4, everything works except the driver window motor is slow. Unreal how well it runs. Transmission had MINOR shudder coming out of OD, Lucas trans fix and good as new.
I got a 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500 w/4.8L
206,000mi later,...still going!
All I've done was general maintenance and changed the radiator. FM part of the radio doesn't work and a coolant leak I can't find, other than that, still rides down the road.
Next truck more than likely will be a...NISSAN TITAN! :p
wrong comments section
The early T100 we're indestructible too!
Can this truck ram through a cement barrier 🤔🤣
Yeah and still chug like it was nothing!!😂
"It still purrs like a kitten" 😂🤣 hahahah
🤣
pre 1997 Toyota Hilux's are the best ute ever made hands down.
i was about to comment this exact thing
Last week it was the f150 that was your fav truck. Make you mind up dude
I like the Toyota Tacoma, Honda Ridgeline, and Toyota Tundra 👍
I just bought a ‘01 Tundra extra cab for 9,000 with 113,000 miles from original owner here in California and people say i paid to much but this truck runs and looks great and I’m going to tell these people who told me I paid to much to go see Scotty channel taking about these Tundras trucks.
Better have been an original owner in mint condition with all service records
@@210SAi He gave me all the service records for the truck he had done at Toyota dealer and my son works for Toyota and he ran the Vin number on the truck and my son told me I got a good deal and he said trucks in this condition usually go for 12,000 in this condition
I just bought a 2004. Toyota Tacoma Tacoma has a upgraded lift kit and suspension. Only 160k miles
Bought my 2000 Tundra 4x4 TRD Off Road 4.7 motor in 2010 for around $9000 with 150,000 miles on it. Now have 224,000 miles and repairs were new timing belt, muffler, radiator, couple of ignitions coils, right power steering rack which rusted out. Just bought 2021 Tundra so will eventually sell the 2000 for around $8,000. Also own a 2000 Camry and 2013 Highlander.
Love it when Scotty gets excited 😁
The reason why I went with a 1st gen Tundra. Simplicity and ease of working on it.
14k for a Tundra in my area will still have 250k miles.
Daàaaaaamn ....😆😆😆😆
Oh my god! I own a 2004! It has 300k on it and it runs like a champ!
I have had yhis truck for yeats and I can say: it has been worth every penny.
Japanese engineering is amazing. I have 2 Honda generators and it's amazing how well they are designed. I've owned Toyotas, Hondas and an Acura for decades, all were unbelievably reliable.
My company has all tundras and they run on no oil and they still good af
Haha ...no oil?
He means the engines use no oil which is typical of a Toyota engine as long as you take care of it if you don’t it will break just like any other engine
Times have changed! We just seen the first guest on the channel
Frfr
I like the older tundra's I had a 95 toyota t100 with the 3.4 v6 I drove it til it was totaled in 2016 I bough a 2006 tundra for 7000 to repalce the t100 and it has the 4.0 v6 but its gone from 160k miles to 244k miles and its still a good truck. I recently went to las vegas with it and it gave me no issues.
Girl I work with has one with over half a million miles & she practically never has any maintenance done since she got it 10 years ago.
94 Celica.. best truck ever built
