2000 Toyota Tundra SR5 review from North America
"This truck is still the best overall truck out there"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing that has required service on this truck in 53,000 miles is a leaky tie rod end. It was covered under warranty. I am extremely pleased with this truck in terms of performance and reliability.
The complaint made by one reviewer about the bumper being thin was misplaced. The bumper is identical to those found on Fords and Dodges.
The reference in one review to this truck being foreign junk is just wrong. The Tundra is actually more domestic than most other trucks, most of which are assembled in Mexico or Canada. Being assembled in the USA is a good thing. Being designed in Japan in also a good thing.
If the Tundra comes with defective brakes, just replace the whole assembly. This problem also occurs in the so-called domestic trucks. At least the Tundra has a reliable transmission, unlike the Dodge, which good for about 50,000 miles if you are very lucky.
General comments?
Of all the trucks out there, Toyota is still the most reliable overall by a huge margin.
