Superior Half Ton Pickup Truck
Bought the 2002 Tundra Limited new in October 2001 and have driven it 212,000 miles. Like the Energizer Bunny, it keeps going and going. I enjoy looking at the simple styling of the vehicle every time I get in. It has had normal Toyota service and gets 14 - 18 mpg depending on driving type. In 16 years, it has never had a drip or bit of rust. Very comfortable ride.

Never broke down or failed to start.
15 years old and runs like new. Doesn't burn or leak a drop off oil. I will run it till you can't get parts anymore, not that it uses many parts!!!!

Most reliable truck I've owned
The 2002 Toyota Tundra is like a great spouse. It rarely ever gives you any trouble! Not the first oil leak after 89000 miles and I have never had to add oil between changes at every 7500 miles. Yes, that is correct,75k. That is what the Toyota manufacturer recommends, not what the oil change businesses want! Overall, fine engineering. Thank you Toyota

Great truck
Bought my 2002 Tundra new, best vehicle I've ever owned. Truck rides good and also has good power. The only problem I've had with this truck is one of the oxygen sensors went bad while it was under warranty, Toyota extended the warranty on the oxygen sensors. Dealer came and picked up the truck and returned it to me the same day. I've got 146,000 miles on it now and runs great! I like this truck a lot more than the Tacoma that they are making now, mine has more room and the bed is bigger.

360,000!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Dad bought a brand new 2000 tundra V8 2wd. He drove it as his personal truck for 100,000 or so. And then me and my brother TORE!!!!! it up as a work truck ALL THE WAY TO 360,000 with no problems. At 360,000 all the wheels started falling off though but no engine troubles. The timing belt was never even changed either. I've owned 2 tundras so far with no problems. PEOPLE GET A TUNDRA!!!!!! NOT A F150, CHEVY 1500, OR RAM 1500!!! JUNK JUNK JUNK

RELIABLE
In one word, this truck is reliable. I bought my 2002 new and it now has 107,000 miles. I am planning on giving this to my son in 3 years when he is a senior in high school. I will be buying another Toyota Tundra because it is safer than a Tacoma. The only issue I have is the back bench is not as comfortable as the newer fullsize bench but still ok for most passengers. We plan on holding this truck untill we get 225,000 miles as many 2002 Tundras have gone beyond that.

2002 Tundra 4.7
I bought this truck because I wanted a Tundra, but didn't want one 10 years old, but I did it. Besides putting some new shocks and brakes on it, it is one of the best used trucks I have ever owned. Back seat is a little small for adults of any size, but I like everything else about it. Plenty of power, smooth, quiet, comfortable and all the options I want. This truck has 214k miles on it when I bought it and I have already put 6k on it and woulnd't hesitate to go anywhere in it. Uses no oil, no leaks, already pulled my camper with it, this is a good truck regardless of mileage.

Where can I get a new one like this?
Specifically the tundra sp5 extended cab.The size and capability of this truck is unmatched by today's huge pickups. The pickup holds 4'x8' plywood, or a 500cc ATV. It fits in your garage [211" long]. Last gas mileage 16 MPG in city/suburbia driving, 22MPG in pure interstate cruising on the Lexus V8 engine. Toyota up-sized itself out of this niche in 2006, and become just another fat pickup undistinguished from the American names. 4x4 has given me no problem, but I'm just on forest roads, not ridge line crawling every week. Cargo bed is too small on the midsize midsized trucks of 2012.

Reliable and comfortable. A solid workhorse.
We bought this truck to haul loads of rock to build a waterfall and retaining walls. It never disappointed. It had all the power we needed and at 130k miles is still as strong and comfortable as ever. Absolutely no issues. GREAT TRUCK!
