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.
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.
If my experience is any indication, take it in as soon as you can for the filler neck TSB. My dealer's service department isn't the greatest, and it only took them an hour. No more "check engine" light, and the new filler neck is WAY better than the old one.
I had the same minor issue with my gas cap. Aside from that my 2004 TRD SR5 Double Cab is the most amazing vehicle I have driven. It handles whatever I throw at it. I am hard on it, and it just keeps taking it. Great ride, great power.
The check eng light came on, on my 03 tundra. I brought it back to the dealer, and they found the filler neck was cracked. This was not the first one they found to like this. There is a TSB#EG019-03 relating to this and it recommends replacing the fuel filler neck.
