No one stops to ask how many miles are on your F150 or if they can buy if from you. Tundra as well as Tacoma owners experience this regularly. "These things last forever and hold their value" is the normal feedback.
funny considering that the f-150 outsells the tundra and tacoma combined not including the larger models. I've owned f-150's with 500k on it and it wouldn't die still I only sold it cuz when any vehicle has that many miles everything is a ware item!
@@mromatic17 yeah because Ford is an domestic truck that’s why it sells more, you can say anything on the internet and make it true. If your Ford did 500k miles my Toyota did a million miles. Which they actually can do.
Truly a truck that really proved its grit as time went on. that V8 Engine truly is the embodiment of RELIABILITY...someone from 2045 please reply to this comment and let me know if they're still on the road...it wouldn't surprise me at all.
@breezydagreat12 it was the first year for the Tundra, but the engines (3.4 V6 and 4.7 V8) had been in use since 1996 for the V6, and 1998 for the V8.
Done my studies after these trucks were on the road for several years. Consulted CR, transmission shops, dealerships and couldn't find major problems or major changes from 2000-2004. CR stated reliability and satisfaction were well above. No major factory recalls noted when I done my studies. Had already driven my first 2000 Tundra SR5 for 200,000 miles without major incidents. Went and immediately purchased 3 trucks, a 2000 SR5, a 2003 Limited, and an identical Limited 2004. I wanted something where not all the extra moving parts and no frequent changes in technology. I still have all 3 and never doubted this decision. Did have to replace the rear leaf springs in both the 2003 and 2004 since they were weak and should have been recalled. Put a 4 leaf back in place of the inferior leaf system and both trucks drive very comfortably. I'm 64 and plan to keep all three. The 2000 currently has 104,000 miles, the 2003 has 157,000 miles and the 2004 has 175,000 miles. I see the big 3 trucks 40 yo occasionally drive around, so I know these can outlast the big 3.
I love when people try to shit on me in my 1st gen tundra for being an "import". it's like buddy this thing Is more American then your brand new ford or chevy. Cash me outside when you stop getting shit built on mexico😂
The narrator/reviewer really has no idea what he's talking about, these trucks were over built by Toyota and will outlive those early 2000s f150s by a longshot and to say "it clearly lacks presence when next to the f150" is just simply hilarious. 🤣
@@camouflagecamaro99 That's true, but Toyota replaced them. You gotta like that. Of course, that is the past, Japs are obsessed with capturing US markets by giving people good deals: in the beginning.
Mine is 2003 , SR5 model with 234k miles on it. Still drive smoothly after 19 yrs of driving.

@@mromatic17 shut up
I would get asked about my 96 f150 all the time. The motor was bulletproof and I would buy another without hesitation.
@@jayburris6252 ya the 96 but not an 06 96 f series are classic along with the obs/gmt400 Chevys

Wasn’t this the first year they were released? Of course he wasn’t giving it the respect it deserved bc it wasn’t proven at the time

This generation of Tundra will definitely outlast any EcoBoost F150 as well as any Modern Tundra with the Twin turbo V6.
As long as it ain't rusted out.
@darnellrobeson4761 yeah seems to be a real issue with toyota, I live where rust is never issue ever though so it's fine for me
11 inches of ground clearance is excellent
Those trucks litterally beyond time it's self they never break
I love this generation of Toyota Tundra
Just hit 350k miles on my 2001 v8 tundra. Engine and trans still work as new.

My 2002 SR5 4x4 4.7l TRD w/ limited slip rear has 250k miles.

Toyota forever! I own a 2003 single cab as base as they come, 5 speed manual transmission.

Not really, the frame issues they had killed them lol
@@camouflagecamaro99 Yes, true. But a lot still live today. I see them just as often as I see those era F-150’s.
Amazingly John Davis couldn't look 23 years into the future to have your point of view.
@@camouflagecamaro99 Just get one with a replaced frame and you're set for life. The frame on my 2001 is cleaner than my father's 2015 Silverado
