Any complaints about the tundra

[mwebber78]

Your going to come in here on your high horse and preach to us about wasteful vehciles and not even get the facts straight?

The Tundra is made here in America using American sourced parts and American workers in towns that get paid in AMERICAN dollars for the taxes they charge Toyota.

Many of Chevy/GMC's products now have parts sourced from Chinese suppliers that GM funds so that they can grab more market share in China... Some of Chevy's SUV's/van's even use a V6 that is built only in China with Chinese workers and Chinese parts (Equinox, Blazer and their new Venture van). GM's full sized trucks are made of American, Mexican and Canadian sourced parts and some trucks are fully assembled at GM's Canadian operations.

But anyways, I see an awful lot of professional Woman and Men driving full size Suburbans and Blazer's and Silverado's with no one in their except the driver, so why bash Japanese owners?

P.S> The last line of your post about Imports and the economy really hurts your overall image , it reflects the lack of depth you have about where cars/trucks are built and in which countries.....

So you think toyota is just giving money to the US? No. They get money for each vehicle that is assembled here, they're not paying us to take them... although they'd have to pay me to take one. I know many "American" vehicles are built elsewhere. What I mean by "import" is any vehicle that has a VIN starting with anything other than a "1"

You're right, many of the full size American vehicles are used for city driving only. That makes me mad too. You said the tundra is built in the US of US parts... Why refer to yourself as a "Japanese" owner?

P.S> That is the last line of my signature, not part of the post. I think it's funny that you'd capitalize import where you used it in that sentence, since it's not the first word.

I'm done with this thread, you're all too argumentative. Also seems only one of you has ever driven a toyota TRUCK. The rest of you, go buy a corolla or something. Quit compensating with big vehicles.

So that line is actually part of your signature? Well thanks for clarifying your views........

I am happy to proudly refer to myself as a Japanese owner. I make a distinction becuase I've owned "American" branded vehicles and quite frankly think they are not equal to their Japanese competition. Who really considers buying a Chevy Malibu or Ford Taurus when they are shopping for a car? Not the same person who considers owning a Camry or Accord. You couldn't get those people to eat the depreciation those junkers have or the problems they've had.

By the way, no one's being confrontional, we just want an equal opportunity to post reply's to your ramblings...........

Who's compensating? I was just reading your list of Mod's to your truck...

19 years and only 159k miles? only 8400 miles a year? I put that on my Toyota in 3 months. Stop trolling on the Tundra site.

Some people never cease to amaze me.

I've got a 2001 TRD, 2wd. My biggest complaint is I wish I'd gotten captain's chairs......but that was my fault.

The bed on my truck is only 17" deep vs. 21" on the newer models, and believe me..........4" does make a difference!!!!

The driver's side shoulder belt doesn't retract like it should and that pizzes me off everytime I get out of it and the dang door won't shut!!

O2 sensors went out, but they replaced them at no charge.

The BIGGIE.......fuel pump went out at 61,500 miles!!!!!! Thank goodness for AAA towing and extended warranty......it happened the day after Christmas.........just when you REALLY don't want to be shelling out about $500.00 for a new fuel pump and towing!!!!

Ok........do I like my truck? HECK YEAH!! By far this is the best running and best truck I've ever owned. If things go as planned, my next truck will be another Tundra and hopefully by then the 3/4 tons will be on the road for awhile and the bugs worked out of them AND they're not selling for sticker+++ prices. I've started pulling a 16ft, 2 horse trailer and I'd like a little more suspension and horsepower.

Get the truck..........you'll love it! Welcome to the club!

I am glad to see that I have had the same problems as mentioned already on this thread.

I own a 2000 SR5 4x2 and I bought it is AUg 1999. Things that have gone bad:
1) Breaks needed replaced
2) Both seat belts needed replaced 2 times!
3) o2 sensors went out

I want to know if the Tundras have a problem with the tranny or motor at 100k or 120k etc.

I tow a sandrail around on a 16 foot trailer.

If you want to burn out, power brake a bit and romp it!

The only complaint I have about my 2000 Sr5 Tundra is that chicks keep jumping in my truck. My wife hates that.
