2000 Toyota Tundra Limited 4x4 review from North America
"A great, albeit pricey, truck - with class"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Check engine light came on at 20,180 miles. Dealer replaced both O2 sensors under warranty, although warranty expired the prior month.
Tires are pitiful; came with BF Goodrich Rugged Trails that are now completely worn out. Alignment has been maintained, and I do not drive this truck hard or off-road. They are just poor tires; for a $36K truck you would think they would put decent tires on them from the factory.
Slight rattle from the in-dash CD changer; no fix for this problem, but it is only noticeable under heavy acceleration.
Seat belts don't retract well - tend to get caught in the door jambs if you don't check them prior to closing the door.
General comments?
I love this truck!
I've had no real mechanical issues with it, and body integrity seems to be good.
Good acceleration, great towing capacity and excellent handling in the snow.
Fuel mileage is pathetic - 13.7 mpg in town, with 16.7 highway at its' best.
Comfortable, quiet and rides great - people who've ridden with me always comment that you would never know you're in a truck from the ride and low level of wind/road noise.
