My neighbor had a tundra that he never used and was sitting in his garage for the past 5 years and when I confronted him about it, he said he was looking to sell. I asked how much he was looking to get for it and mentioned my interest. He looked me up and down for about 20 seconds and back at his car and told me I could take it off his hands for free if I drove it and put some care into it. It’s a limited v8 with full leather interior and 135,000 miles on it. I am completely dumbfounded by it all and stumbled on your video trying to find information on the truck. Thanks for the great video!

Got a 2001 with 236,000 miles on it. Runs like a top. Just make sure to replace the timing belt at the scheduled intervals, and get the other stuff done as needed. Be warned, also, that there was a Toyota corporate recall in 2012 or so concerning improperly rust-proofed sub-frame components. A sub-contractor did not electroplate the sub-frame and some of these vehicles have accelerated rust damage to the body and frame, but that' s a body problem, not an engine problem. The dealers were supposed to inform customers of the recall, in which Toyota spent nearly a billion dollars to fix, but not everyone got the word in time.

I'd had my eye on it at auction for a couple of weeks and sat down right before it went to auction and prayed that if it was meant to be, it'd stay in my price range. I didn't want to spend more than $6,800. The Lord delivered! Cheers, friend.

He died in 2018 so his daughter registered it in her name after, making her the second owner but she didn't put a single mile on it. It had around 22k on it at this time. She end up selling it to the dealer I bought it from. Well he didn't drive it and wanted to sell it so he listed it with about 24,700ish on it. It only has 26,600 on it now.

I have a 2001 Tundra that I bought used in 2003. The only reason I found this video is because I had my first mechanical issue with the truck and I was searching KZread for the year/make. The problem I had was a leaking top tank on the radiator, which occurred after having the coolant flushed. I have always kept up with the maintenance, but I have certainly not babied my truck and have taken it off-road on some very gnarly trails and it has never let me down. I'll drive it until it dies.

I also have the 2000 Tundra. Same as this but in white. Bought it with a Tacoma recall check back in 2009 with only 65k miles on it. Fast forward to 2020 and the truck still runs stong at 186k miles. Just passed inspection but needed the right side exhaust manifold installed for $900. It made a huge diffference and the truck sounds like it did 11 years ago. Have also replaced the radiator, gas tank, rack and pinion more recently. Usual brakes and exhaust work over the years. Frame was recalled about 10 years ago. Some minor rust but still solid. I may get it painted next year as the truck will not die and deserves to look good again. BEST truck Evah!!

I own a 2002 Toyota Tundra SR5. Great truck! Thinking about purchasing a new Tacoma this year before the new ones come out. I’d love to see another video of your Tacoma and his Tundra like the snow one. Subbed! God bless!

Hi, I've owned 2 of these and you are right on many things. This is a Limited, but a base model Limited. The only thing you missed was the painted fender flares. Base has nothing, Sr5 has metal, and Trd has black plastic. Like others said the only thing to watch is the t belt and h20 pump every 90k! Best of luck!

TRD Limited has painted fender flares. I have one - a 2000 I've owned since '08, 160k on it and it only feels broken in . Love these things!

That's an excellent buy! Nicely done. A year and a half ago I got my 2001 Tundra V8 TRD with 99k miles for about $5k. Smartest purchase I've ever made. Only thing you need to look out for is the timing belt maintenance interval. Since it is an interference motor, if the timing belt snaps it will cause a catastrophic failure as a result of the pistons slamming into the intake and exhaust valves, destroying all of these parts. The service interval is once every 60k miles, but age can also effect the condition of the timing belt, so it should be inspected for cracks and replaced if not in good condition. One other thing to check is the brand of oil filter it has installed. When I went for a short test drive of the truck in the cool fall weather everything was fine, but after owning it for a while I noticed that during hot weather, with the motor at operating temperature, if I spent any time idling say waiting for a red light or sitting in a drive-thru, the motor would begin to produce a valve tick, until I would stop the tick by giving it a blip of throttle to raise the oil pressure. My mechanic told me it was totally normal and said that it's called "the Toyota tick"... I called bullshit. All of the oil pressure drama went away after the next oil change when I removed the garbage Fram oil filter and replaced it with a genuine Toyota brand filter.

I have had no mechanical failures. I will say that I do stay on top of the maintenance and even at the end of my oil change cycle the oil still looks good(so I am hoping that is another good sign). The truck has been parked outdoors in sunny San Diego for 20 years and there are no tears in the upholstery and not one crack on the dash or on any of the plastic. My steering wheel still looks brand new! I am making an appointment next week at the dealer to have my second timing belt replaced (every 100k).

My Tundra is a 2006 SR5 double cab with close to 87k on it. It was my fathers truck, he bought it new (traded in his 4Runner) and absolutely loved it. He only got to enjoy it for about 5 years, as he passed away in 2011 due to lymphoma. I got to start driving it in 2021 after having my license for 6 months, and it has been perfect. Once I graduate in June it will be mine, and it has always been my dream to have it. I will always feel a strong connection to the Toyota Tundra, and it has been an amazing work truck for shoveling rock while redoing our backyard, and has been great for camping trips with light/mid off-roading. I can’t wait for another 200k miles with it (at least, with proper maintenance), and if the engine ever goes on me, I hope I can engine swap it with another 2uz. Long story short, Tundra is an amazing truck, close to my heart, pick one up while they are still under the radar.

I love my 1st generation Tundra. It’s a 2003 SR5 with almost 90,000 miles. I just added a cab over camper for adventures camping in Alaska.

I LOVE my 2000 Tundra! I’ve had it for 6 years, and it takes me everywhere and does everything I ask it to. I just put about $2000 in maintenance and repairs because I plan on keeping it for another 10+ years!

So you did $2000 worth of maintenance on a Toyota….. let me guess the waterfall went bad and they had to take again takeoff and do the water jacket seals

@@dontfix-it786 No- water pump (?) and belts are all good. Change fluids regularly (i.e., maintenance). Lots of money has gone into suspension, as that's what I'm the hardest on.

I just recently bought a 2004 Tundra TRD 4x4 Access cab with 92k miles from a private seller for $12k. It was a one owner and clean car fax with no wrecks. And most importantly, no rust underneath. You have to watch out for rust on these trucks especially in rust belt. It drives great. I love it. Great video. Subscribed. God bless!

Dang I'm about to buy a 99K miles 2009 Tundra with the V8 4.7L for $12K and I'm still deciding if pulling the trigger or not.. 2nd generation tho!

Al Pardo 2nd gens are very reliable too. Sounds like a good deal especially if it’s a 4wd.

This same truck would sell for 15g+ right now. Shopping for one myself. Blessing for sure!!!

Lord’s been leading me to one of these as well. Wanted to replace my 94 ranger with a newer 3rd gen Ranger. Every one I thought was the one got sold. Lo and behold these fit the bill so much better. Either way, let His will be done

Just picked up a ‘01 v8 tundra for only $1500…. It’s got some brake system issues that I’m addressing right now but I’m still super stoked on it couldn’t have gotten a better deal on a first truck. Hope your brothers truck has been working out for him 🙏

It has! And that is a steal of a price, I’m going to do a 1 year update next month on the truck to show you guys the updates

Nice truck! I've got an 04 limited with 96k. Heated leather seats, sunroof, running boards. The works. I can open up all 5 windows and the sunroof and it's basically a jeep gladiator. Bought her for 12k at 83k miles. My dad has a 2000 with 350k miles on it and it's been a WORK work truck since we got it in 05. We've done nothing but regular maintenance, she still runs like new

Just hit 250K and she’s still zoooomin

A recommendation I have is taking off the two back headrests and put them in the storage compartment under the back seat. It's allows you to see a little bit more out of the back window.

bought a new 2005, still driving it today (but not daily). 240k miles. sr5 2wd. hands down the best vehicle i have ever or will ever own. Very modest interior and designing. Just how I like it. Pure toyota quality engineering. Every once in a while I think about selling it and then instantly realize how much I would regret it.

I bought an '01 Tundra this summer (First car, I turned 16 this year!😊), I'm a farm kid, so i do some towing, it pulls kinda hard with a 16' flatbed trailer, but otherwise it runs great! Like yours, mine is a Limited, and I never found out what it means to this day.

What I’ve read about this engine and towing is that it does best at high revs.

just picked up a 2000 Tundra 4x4 limited this week for 5200, w/ 197K ...parked next to my 2003 Tundra SR5 2wd with 253k I bought new , 1st Gens rule. Great vid 👍

I have a 2006 Toyota Tundra Double Cab V8 with the XSP package. I love it. I think it is the coolest truck ever made. The XSP wheels are the coolest wheels. It has 110k miles on it and it runs perfectly. Today some idiots in a newer Chevy truck had a megaphone sticking out the tiny sliding window in the back, and they were using it to make fun of my Tundra while we were at a really long stop light. In my head I was thinking, “what a bunch of idiots, this Tundra you’re making fun of will outlast your Chevy by a lot.”

You and I have almost identical trucks. I also have a 2006 Tundra with around 110k miles. Mine is a double-cab SR5 4x4. I absolutely love it. The only issue I’ve had is with the paint job; I had to get it repainted a couple of years ago.

Great video brother, and I also have a 2000 Toyota Tundra and they are great trucks still running. I was wondering what kind of stereo did you installed in your brother’s truck?

The radiator fluid and transmission coolant tubes melted together 😬 had to flush the transmission and radiator, replaces the tubes and radiator then wash them both out multiple times, all said and done about $600 I think? Not terrible, and thankfully we caught it when we did which saved us from replacing the transmission. Runs like a champ now

@@AlphaShark have you seen A1 auto most common problems for these trucks that was one of them!

We bought the exact same truck for my sons first car about a year ago. We paid 4000, but the body on ours does not look as nice as yours. So far, for preventive maintenance, we had a new timing belt, water pump, and thermostat put on. Then the steering rack started leaking. Found out the body of the rack was rusted through. New rack, tie rods, tires and alignment. Now just a couple days ago, the wipers quit working. There is a ball and socket bushing on the wiper mechanism that cannot be bought. Found out you have to buy the whole wiper rod assembly. We are still happy to own this truck and we have the same thoughts about it as you do. Ours is a limited too, but it has power leather seats.

Thanks for sharing! I'll pray you won't have to do any more maintenance for a longgg time!

That thing is CLEAN!

Limited on gen one has body color mirrors and side molding . Leather and cloth was included and power seat is standard . Limited on 03 up access cab has a power slider

I bought one back in 2000. I loved that truck.

I love cruising in my first gen tundra. 210k and still runs like a top. Edit. The interior on that truck is immaculate. Wish mine looked like that

Nice video. I have almost the same truck, but it’s a 2004. My truck is burgundy in color and it has an automatic sliding rear window. I think my bed is a little deeper but also 6.5 feet. It’s a limited too, and it looks the same as your brother’s on the inside. I got it with a dent in the back (I don’t care about the dent because it’s a work truck) and it only had 59k miles for 7 k three years ago, and I love it too. I now have 61k miles on it. Funny thing is, people ask me if I want to sell it all the time. Lol
