I have an '04 double cab 4wd that I purchased in 2021 with 212k on it. The double cab first gen Tundras are a great size if you don't want a gargantuan full size truck. Mine now has 239k on it and has been an excellent truck. I like the simplicity of these first gens, though the interior style is not my favorite, but it's clean, functional and comfortable. The rear seat room is much better in the double cab vs these access cabs. I'm 5'8" and this truck fits me very well, if you're 6' you may want to avoid these.
Down here in Kentucky those trucks never took off. But the regular Toyota trucks are a dime a dozen quad cabs and regular cabs. 2500 Chevy and fords are the only two trucks you see in eastern Kentucky
@@scottdavis_34 Ignorant of you to assume I don't own one, but expected for a RU-vid debate. I also own a 05 LX470. Go on, explain why it's not one of the best trucks ever made. It's on you to disprove it considering general consensus is that they are indeed one of the best trucks ever made.
@@thexpat RUST and not just the frames, constantly replacing O2 sensors, poorly designed ball joints that are a ticking time bomb, have you had to replace your starter yet? Worst possible place to locate it. Poorly designed rotors the frequently warp for really no reason. This thing is a headache. If you haven’t had any problems with yours than great but my experience has been anything but. My Tundra is a 2002 as well not a 2005 Lexus.
I had a 2004 toyota tundra 2 years ago just like the one in this video. It was actually my dad's, but he let me drive it because I fell in love with it when he bought it at the end of 2018. The frame was rotten and had other issues that we were aware of, but we decided to put a lift kit and wheels and tires on it. Had a blast off-roading in it. Then I got my driver's license and started driving it. Then the gas tank started to go on it and then on the very last drive I had on it, the shifting linkage broke on the transmission and then we decided to scrap it because it was junk (just the frame and nothing else), so we put the stock wheels and tires on it and got rid of it. Then 2 years later, I recently wrecked my gmc. I bought a 2006 toyota tundra 4.7 v8 4 door 4wd with 237,000 miles on it and it has just about 247,000 miles on it now and I love it. I use it every day for work and it never let's me down. I'll never get rid of it.
Great review, I own a 2006 Toyota Tundra double cab 4x4 SR5. 170k miles I bought it with 142k and nothing has missed. I hope I can get 1 million miles on it lol
I have a '02 SR5 A/C 4x4 with a Ivan Stewart areo kit installed. That I purchased New, and today it has 95,000 miles on it. Has spent its whole life in a garage. Drives like it did when new...... Looks great (few bumps). I have to disagree with one thing though, My Tundra GETS UP and BOOGIES!!! I step on the gas..... and it just takes off either from a off the line or trying to pass. It rides like a "Cadillac" of trucks. Love the Interior's more compact size.... yet it feels plenty big (and I am 6'3") These are Tundras (2000 - 2006 4.7s) are know to be the MILLION MILE TRUCKS...... As long a they are taken care of. Sadly Yes, the Frames are the major problem here...... Thankfully my Tundra spent it's life in California and Oregon, So I don't have any frame rust. Great Review, Thank You
I have a 2006 with the 4.7 and 5 speed automatic. The transmission went out at about 218000 miles. Not sure why but maybe for anyone else that has that transmission change the fluid more often. Good truck otherwise.
Reviewed my truck finaly lol i have loved mine but ive hated the suspension or lack there of a whole bunch of aftermarket support other wise its been nice and im in the procces of repainting again
The problems pointed by this guy doesn't make sense. The stile is very mild and beautifull outside. Better that the new exagerated new trucks. this ia the best ruck ever. This is a relly bad reviw. The quality of this truck is unbeatable. the only problem is that will perform over 300K if you maintain.
I have an 2001 and it is a work horse. Nothing new presented here it is as if this guy has borrowed from other youtube postings that have shared the exact same information.
