2002 Toyota Tundra LE Access Cab review from North America
"Not up to maker's reputation"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 45243 miles, auto transmission failed and stranded wife in desert.
Something loose behind dash.
Off-road suspension went from sport-car taut to no-rebound wallows at apx. 40,000 - suspension not a warranty part.
General comments?
It not only lacks towing capacity in comparison to its competition, it begins to handle dangerously while still 1000 lbs shy of its rated capacity.
It does not wear well; noticeably beginning the loss of its abilities at apx. 35000 miles.
