2003 Toyota Tundra consumer reviews

My dad bought this truck brand new off the lot in May of 2003. I grew up in this truck, learned how to drive in this truck and when I turned 18 was gifted the keys. By the time she was mine she was already an older girl but she sure didn't act like it. Healthy power, speed, torque and reliability you'd expect in a first gen tundra. She could haul pretty much anything within reason. I have still to this day never found a more comfortable drivers seat in any truck. To my shock she never broke down, never had any issues and kept on truckin' along. After the 300k mile mark I was sure something would go wrong with her due to her age but she thrived. I eventually lost her to a head on collision, broke the frame and crushed the front and even then her million mile engine still purred. When the paramedics showed up they informed me if I was in any other vehicle I would've been dead. I walked away from that accident without a scratch. She took the bullet for me and left such a strong impression on me. The best vehicle money can buy. I couldn't recommend them enough. I am actively hunting the market to find me another one because they are just that good!

I just discovered that there is no threads for spark plugs in this truck! Just had to pay a large sum of money to get a coil pack and spark plug out of the truck! The coil pack melted and broke half off and was stuck in the head! Came from the factory with the spark plugs soldered in. Had to have a helicoil because no threads at all! This is crazy!

I've owned my Tundra since I bought it new in 2003. Almost 200,000 miles on it with no major issues. I've kept up on all scheduled maintenance. The only repairs I've had done were replacing the front shocks and the idle pulley. Great truck for the price..... Here's to another 200,000 miles!

This is the most reliable truck I have ever owned. I bought it from a friend of mine it had 201,000 when I bought it. Very strong 💪 4.7 v 8i pull a 16 ft heavy duty trailer with a 970 John deere tractor pulls it with no problem i now have around 211,000 miles still going strong very dependent!!!

Very comfortable on long drives Great looking inside and outside Dependable solid Toyota 4WD quality Long bed allows me to carry my motorcycle and other gear

I bought it new in late 2002 off of the showroom floor. still driving it today, 235,000 miles later. Still starts, drives and runs like the day I bought it. I still tow a 4,000 boat with it. Has never burned or leaked oil. Only thing I’ve had to replace is an a/c hose that blew this past summer. Just a fantastic vehicle.

the gas tank needs to be replaced the rear axle needs to be replaced due to rusted thru and fluid needs to added often the truck is 17 years will keep it looks great still as long as repaires are under 5000 a year will keep

This Truck Is Really Amazing, The Comfort & Style Plus The Power 4.7 No Complaints. 🤟🏼💨. It Only Has 126,455 miles on it. What Ah Truck!! 😃

Minimal problems in 12 years and still going strong. So reliable and has plenty of life left! I am selling this truck but if I had the room to keep it I would. I just bought another Toyota because of how great this truck has Beto me

Truck has plenty of room (extended cab). In spite of its age and mileage, it performs well and the body is in very good condition. Brand new tires all around.
