2003 Toyota Tundra SR5 V8 TRD Extended Cab review from North America
"The Perfect Truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My 2002 Tundra SR5 TRD Ext Cab V8 2WD I owned for 24 great months. The only time it was in the shop was for oil changes.
My 2003 Tundra SR5 TRD Ext Cab V8 4WD has a new style gas cap and keeps triggering the check engine light. I Haven't had the opportunity to take it in, a loose gas cap code is what the cpu tells me, It's a one click cap, rather than the conventional screw in, but a loose cap is not the case. Other than that no other problems.
General comments?
The Toyota Tundra no matter what year is by far the baddest truck I've ever driven.
The Tundra is extremely well designed; handles vertical incline and decline like no other. The TRD series has great clearance compared to the wannabees.
It's off road capabilities continue to surprise me; it handles the toughest terrain like it were a newly paved highway.
The only negative thing I have to say about this truck is the gas mileage @ 15mpg I wish was better. But then again the extreme power and quickness this truck possesses I can't complain.
My first Tundra I leased and did not possess 4WD. That's why I bought the 2003 Tundra; this ones a keeper.
