2000 Toyota Tundra Limited review from North America
"Wait for the full size Nissan pickup"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Toyota has never been know to produce cars with quality brakes. I would know I have had about 6 Toyota's. So, just to make sure you were a believer they produced the Tundra. I have a had 5 complete break job in the last 7,000 miles and the dealer admits no confidence in the repair.
The axle seal blew out twice
Molding falls off
They cannot fix the alignment. I need new tires every 10,000 miles.
And why can't I have a remote gas cap release. Is it too much to ask?
I only drive 4 miles to work in sunny southern California. I have never used the thing as a "truck".
General comments?
I do have to admit that the truck has a lot of power, handles and rides great.
Toyota sales: Have to be the rudest, nastiest, most condescending people on the planet.
I have been a life long advocate of Toyota. I would like to announce my departure. Good luck Toyota you will need it.
