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"???
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
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.
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.
@@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 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
@@cesarurzua8234 if ya asking about my s10 then yes transmission beens replaced and it's been breaking down left and right after that luckily I'm a mechanic but it's getting ridiculous
@@rustedratchetgarage6788 yup bought a 2019 in mid 2018. Didn’t watch scotty’s videos till after I bought it. It’s the new 9 speed transmission they know nothing about. It’s been hunting gears since 30k miles they have no idea how to fix it. Water pump and idle pulley just went out last week at 56k..not to mention the key fob stopped working twice and tons of plastic has broken. Thought I’ll sell my old ranger with over 200k miles on it and buy brand new cause I now drive about 80 miles a day. Should have just kept the old Ford till I found a good used Toyota, then sold the old Ford to get a classic weekend car. If I would have known of Scotty then, I would have listened to him..because with his 53 years of knowledge he has been 100% correct about new Jeep’s. They are not made as good as they used to be and are rolling piles of crap. Just hope I can sell it in a year or 2 to get out before it really hurts
I myself have an 07 Avalon and I have faced this very problem. Finding used parts for it was a pain. Most junkyards I called didn't even have any Avalons at all. I gotta say these cars are amazing though. They ride like a dream and I never thought I could love a car so much
I also have a 2004 Avalon, got from my father, runs like a top. Only 80K on it. Replaced timing belt and water pump, that’s it. Only issue has been rear struts have started to make a knocking noise.
@Kanpol Mahtlactliomei you, sir, have completely neglected your car! My 2012 Chrysler with only 97k miles on it will outlast your car, because I've kept up with routine maintenance... Like replacing my engine, rebuilding my trans, replacing all suspension and steering parts, alternator, etc.
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'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.
Is it me or do the people in Tennessee know cars? I have not seen one endless money pit in Scotty's videos since leaving Texas. Not one Audi, Mercedes, BMW.
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.
Change the timing belt, water pump, tensioners, etc. etc. to the tune of $1300. Unacceptable design. There's a reason Toyota went to timing chains later.
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..
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.
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 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’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.
Scotty you never met a foreign car you did not like. You never met an American car you liked. I have had experience with both. And ever one I have had was a great car. Except for a fiat I owned once. It's all how you treat the vehicle.
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
Lol 14 Grand for that thing.... FUK NO, look at the fkin paint n body it’s all shot, idc if it still runs well it’s a Toyota what do you expect, could have got one for half the price of that that mofo got ripped off lmao

Scotty every episode about tundras "These are the worst truck! Never get one" Scotty every other episode about tundras "These are the best trucks you could ever get!!! 1"
That Toyota Tundra is not a full size truck. The first Tundra trucks were "midsize" trucks because TMC did want to compete directly with the Big Three. It was later increased in size to full size when it was accepted by the USA.
Ok, I’m looking at a 2003 Tundra with 87k from an elderly man. I’m looking at it for my son. He had the timing belt replaced 4 years ago at approximately 65k. Here is the kicker…he is asking 10k. The frame was under recall, checked out and it’s extremely solid. It’s an SR5 4x4 and the interior is mint. My question is…is 10k a fair price. I need help from you guys that are way more knowledgeable on Toyotas than I am. Thx so much.
If it’s like you said, BUY it! Really! You could keep that forever if you do oil changes at 3-5000 miles, and the regular Scotty suggested maintenance! Truly
I have a 2004 Toyota Tacoma TRD limited with 245k miles. I am the original owner. I get asked if I want to sell it on a weekly basis, and I always say "no". I live in Florida, so no rust. Truck still runs like the day I bought it. My goal is to put 500k miles on it, if I last that long, LOL.
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

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 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
What’d you pay for it ? And would you buy one with 300,000 on it ?
@@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’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.
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
Change the starter is not super fun. They had massive frame recalls with rust thru the frames.
I have a 2000 tundra and the frames rusted out other than that the trucks great I have to get rid of it because of the frames rusted
I live in southeastern Wisconsin where they put salt on the roads and now I have to get rid of it would anyone be interested in changing a frame
Hey Scotty what about rusted frames from Toyota
Scotty you never met a foreign car you did not like. You never met an American car you liked. I have had experience with both. And ever one I have had was a great car. Except for a fiat I owned once. It's all how you treat the vehicle.
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
Scotty is a savage! Keep the content coming Godbless you man you're a legend!
I Just Found the Best Truck Ever Made: It's called a 94' Celica Hatchback with the rear seat folded down.
Scotty: "Now is this man crazy or what!?"
This man: "Tim Curry villain-esque chuckle"
Very succinct answer lol.
I spit out a little bit of water when that happened lol
Lol 14 Grand for that thing.... FUK NO, look at the fkin paint n body it’s all shot, idc if it still runs well it’s a Toyota what do you expect, could have got one for half the price of that that mofo got ripped off lmao
show a toyota to my 84 f150 and they blush (84 made in canada 300 i6 and t18 manual trans)
timing gear
6 cylinders in a row
a granny low 4 spd
8.8 rear end
no electronics
Times have changed! We just seen the first guest on the channel

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.
The first yr 4.7 motor was assembled in japan and installed in america,only the 2k models!
To be honest a lot of older trucks and cars seem to be better then the newer ones
They just don't make them like they used to..
Totally agree, my brother have one with over 300k miles and that thing still runs great.
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
Ever since I saw scotty's video, my car search year model has gotten older and older years and the brand stuck to toyota..
I must be living right, I got a 2000 with 200k on ot for 1,980 out the door.
Just broken in and 400k miles to go 😀
Heyy tho the T100 is still a awesome truck...
I love my 98 toyota T100
250,000 on her and still running strong
Toyota=quality
Scotty every episode about tundras
"These are the worst truck! Never get one"
Scotty every other episode about tundras
"These are the best trucks you could ever get!!! 1"
, But he's talking about the good ones being the early ones (2000-2006) here, made by Indiana Hoosiers! 👍👍
Toyota, simply the BEST!
This video is the reason I got a 1st Gen Tundra
Got an 02 tundra and it’s been a work horse since it was bought got 390k miles and it still pulls like a champ 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
What a channel this is man. Awesome. Im just starting out on TH-cam and seeing content like this makes me hungry to do it more.
After I week he will make a video
I was wrong about Toyota Tundra 😂
Like I txt b4....if they that good.....why big landscape company's dont buy them......exactly
Im about to go pick up a 2004 double cab 170k miles. built in Indiana $4000 !
As I’m sitting in my tundra while watching this 👁👄👁
That Toyota Tundra is not a full size truck. The first Tundra trucks were "midsize" trucks because TMC did want to compete directly with the Big Three. It was later increased in size to full size when it was accepted by the USA.
Preaching to the choir Scotty.
2005 tundra with 190k and going , dont need a 80k truck when i got my 1st gen tundra!
THEY ARE BUILT TO JAPANESE SPECIFICATIONS- DON'T SAY IT'S BASICALLY AMERICAN - IT'S ASSEMBLED IN THE USA.
I have and absolutely love the first gen tundra
Bed liner everywhere but the bed!
Ok, I’m looking at a 2003 Tundra with 87k from an elderly man. I’m looking at it for my son. He had the timing belt replaced 4 years ago at approximately 65k. Here is the kicker…he is asking 10k. The frame was under recall, checked out and it’s extremely solid. It’s an SR5 4x4 and the interior is mint. My question is…is 10k a fair price. I need help from you guys that are way more knowledgeable on Toyotas than I am. Thx so much.
If it’s like you said, BUY it! Really! You could keep that forever if you do oil changes at 3-5000 miles, and the regular Scotty suggested maintenance! Truly
I just traded a four wheeler for one of these runs great. Guy didn’t know what he had
My 2000 tundra runs like new. 165k miles
I have a 2004 Toyota Tacoma TRD limited with 245k miles. I am the original owner. I get asked if I want to sell it on a weekly basis, and I always say "no". I live in Florida, so no rust. Truck still runs like the day I bought it. My goal is to put 500k miles on it, if I last that long, LOL.
$166,000 for a Dodge??????? Who?!? Just who would do that?!?!
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
Afternoon, Scotty!
afternoon!
