First Gen Toyota Tundra - Still Good After 3.5 Years?

It’s a proper 1/2 ton truck.

Humanity peaked in the early 2000's. I have an unhealthy obsession with these and cobra termi's. One day I shall collect them both

I have 2 2000 toyota tundras...one with 270kms and the other with an amazing 609kms!!! Love these trucks.

Looks great! I love to get one in that condition. What kind of MPG do you get?

“Kinda low mileage for a tundra” yea no kidding, I can hardly find these under 200-250k in my area 😂

I have an ‘06 Limited with 138K on the odometer. I bought it brand new after being tired of selling my Chevy trucks every 5 years. It’s been very reliable although I have had a few issues (A/C compressor, power steering rack and tranny mount) but all worth it. I’m fixing to put some money in it now because I’m never getting rid of it. It’s white so the paint is shot, needs new leather on the front seats, new Bluetooth stereo system, needs the lower ball joint repair. I would get in this thing right now and drive across the country.

I literally got the same truck and love it the only thing it needs is mud flaps what brand are those?

I've had my 06 for 3 years at this point and it has held up amazingly. 265k miles, and all i've changed is the oil, windshield wippers, and tires. I did add an touchscreen system and bluetooth audio, as well as black out all the chrome emblems and new headlughts to update the look. Definenlty the best mid-sized truck ever made!

For sale,right?

Where did you buy the lights?

Only problem is that everything you do a bolt is definitly gonna break

How did you paint the grille?

I need a 1st gen. Double cab with the 6.5 bed.

Really nice looking truck. Just picked up a 2006. Could you provide a link to the headlights?

Wheel and tire setup? Is your truck lifted?

Hell yeah, I’ve had mines for about 2 months now and i love it

What wheel and tires are those?

Do you have a link for the head light and turn signal assemblies?

I have the same truck bro I love mine too

I just picked up mine with 193K for $10k in mint condition!!! It is not 4WD but I don’t need it since it’s mostly for hauling trash from flips I’ll be doing. I have a 100 series for the 4WD adventures. 😊 you are spot on as this truck size feels perfect!

How much did it cost you to do your timing belt?

06 best of 1st gen more HP and 5 speed auto

I have a 2004 just like yours 288,00 miles, I just had someone hit the front corner around $6000.00 damage the Insurance was talking about totaling it . but it was all cosmetic. So I had it fixed. I just had the timing belt and water pump changed every 90,000 miles for the forth time. There is no way I could replace it with anything better.

4 years ago I bought a 2002 Tundra double cab with 300K miles for a farm truck. I feel like I'm working out of a Lexus the interior is so nice. It is one tough truck though. HARD use, but it don't care, keeps right on humming.

I have an 04 that I’ve had for 13 years and I just recently replaced the radiator a couple weeks ago. I like those headlights! Can you tell me what brand they are and where you ordered them? Thanks.

Best improvement I made 06 xcab 4x4 TRD 3 inch exhaust and k an n old air 2 inch lift 275r 75 16toyo lt 10 ply tires if I do 65 mph I get al.ost 20mpg live in Nevada hu desert 5190 elevation best pu I ever owned had 2 sr5 22re and 1atgen taco v 6 06 runs circles around the orhers

I have an 06 since 2010 and the only thing I have replaced are twice the battery, three times the tires and every 5 thousand miles the oil that’s it ., right now the odometer reads 107 k miles so I m planning to keep it for many more years the best pick up truck I have own!

Tacoma's are junk straight garbage get a tundra

Bro my dad bought a 06’ darell Waltrip edition tundra, only (2,000) made. I’m 24 now it’s been my truck for the passed 2 years, has 169k miles never had to do shit besides oil change, tire rotation blah blah.

What lift do you have on this truck? What size tires?

I have a 2013 Tundra Platinum. It has 188k miles. Great truck i purchased in 2014 with 19k on it. They definitely hold their value. Mine came with a body lift and 33" tires with an 18" wheel. You can't go wrong with a Toyota!!

Very nice truck! Keep an eye out for pesky smog pump failure. A bypass kit is recommended for that.

Got one too, 04 crew cab for years now. Same color same set up. It’s a work of art.

I have a 2005 Tundra 218 k purring like a kitten . Small maintenance overall. Highly recommend oil changes and tire rotation.

Do not ever sell it please. You deserve it.

Where did you get the headlights ?

What kinda of wheels are on it?

Link for the headlights!

its basically a long bed v8 tacoma. just bought one with 62k miles love it

I have a 2006 SR5 2 wheel double cab I bought used with 33k on it in 2009 for 14k. Never did anything to it until last year when a number of maintance items needed done after 118k , Spent 4k on it , sterring, timing belt, new suspension etc. Was well worth it. Never one engine issue. It currently has 123k on it. Frame is clean living in GA. The truck has always been outside and still looks great, I do keep it waxed. The black window trim has fadded alot and I'll probably paint it this year. The front orignal head lights are getting foggy so I'll probably upgrade to the new ones you used. My wife keeps telling me to buy a new tundra but I love this truck other than the gas milage. My guess is I can still sell it for 11- 12k. The new Tundras just have not won me over yet.

Thank you so much for making this video, just came from your tundra tacoma comparison video and I think I'm sold.

Just bought an 03’ with 106k miles on it everything is stock. Any suggestions on modifications?

I'd like to know where you got the headlights, also if anybody can recommend LED bulbs for them. Thank you!

The first gen tundras are awesome. Of course they are older and so they don't have all the high tech stuff compared to the new ones but i love mine. I appreciate that the grill is not so high up like the newer ones. The only thing i don't like as much is the big headlights. I wish they were a bit more stylish. Otherwise, they are great!

Ok so now let me know where were meeting an how much the down payment is. Lol

Hi, was wondering what size lift kit and brand? What size tire u running? Thanks

1st Gen Tundra's are great, until you get denied for full coverage insurance. No one wants to write a policy for a 20 year old truck that's ready for a classic tag

Is a 2005 Toyota tundra double cap with 203k miles for 5500$ a good deal ? Inside is mint condition except for some bad body damage but it’s patched up

I'm buying a 2006 tundra with 105k miles, and could not be more excited about it!
