2000 Toyota Tundra Access Cab 4WD Limited from North America - Comments

1. Front rotors warped at 10,000 miles - replaced by the dealer (no cost to me under 36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty).

2. Front rotors warped again at 30,000 miles - went to a different dealer becuase the first one was expensive, unresponsive and arrogant - this time they gave me redesigned brake pads from Toyota, again at no cost to me.

3. A horrible musty smell coming out of the door panels every time it rains in warm weather.

4. Pieces of molded black plastic that cover the front bucket seat mounting bolts simply won't stay attached. And they often fall out of the vehicle and onto the ground when you're getting in and out of it. A surprising oversight from Toyota.

Everything else on the vehicle is perfect, as expected from a Toyota.

Pros:

Nearly everything - top notch build quality, power, handling & ride (for a full size pickup), excellent stereo, climate controls, ergonomics, etc.

Cons:

1. Needs heavier rear springs if you plan on hauling heavy loads in the cargo area.

2. No adjustable lumbar, side or front leg support on the front seats. Toyota is often guilty of plain-Jane styling and appointments, but they really ought to offer a better set of bucket seats in their "Limited" trucks.

3. Those silly pieces of molded plastic that cover the front bucket seat mounting bolts.

4. The back seat is extremely small and uncomfortable.

5. Please, Toyota, please - beat the competition and start supplying more tie-down points in the cargo areas of your trucks. The 50 year-old "standard" of one metal hoop in each corner of the bed really ought to become obsolete. I could use about ten or fifteen more tie down points for securing different sized loads in different positions.

Please competition! Please - keep building your trucks as tough as you've always been for the past 100 years so that the United States continues to have the toughest trucks on the road even though hype has caused everyone to believe otherwise with no supporting evidence!
