2004 Toyota Tundra consumer reviews

Bought new in San Diego area 2/'04 for $23,056 OTD. V-6, 5-speed, SR-5 Access cab. 91,000 miles as of 3/'23. I Completely standard. Seats are hard on the back, but I use a "McCarty" metal frame orthopedic seat and that fixed the problem. The manual gearchange is notchy, not as good as most others I've driven. First gear a bit higher than I like. I have driven it with the bed full of equipment and towing a Buick LeSabre and never felt underpowered. The 3.4 V-6 has adequate power and is very smooth. I average 20 mpg. No repairs, and never in snow and almost never in rain. I do my own maintenance and the truck has proven very inexpensive to own. It's beautifully made, in Gary, Indiana. I wish it had had the option of a 4-liter Diesel. A wonderful truck and great value for the money.

2004, purchased with 130,000 miles, now has 198,000, miles. Only major repair was ball joints. Watch out for those, that is this trucks only major Achilles heal. Consistently hauls its max or close each week in water, only for a short distance, but still. Pulled my 88' Toyota 40 miles on a two lane highway. Deserves the hype.

Have 242,000 miles and never had a major repair. Only tires, brakes, batteries, and the required timing belt. Runs like a champ! The most reliable vehicle I've ever had.

Bought this truck in early 2005 with 5000 miles on it. It now has 374,000 miles and it's been through just about everything. Long/short trips, on the farm, in the city, hauling and towing. Other than regular maintenance with brakes, ball joints, water pump, and timing belt, the engine and transmission have been just about as good as it can get! And found out that because this year/model truck has been so good, it is next to impossible to get any used parts for it!

Gets me from point A to B with no worries! Could get better mileage but it’s a truck. Has a good payload. Moved a lot of furniture. Great truck

Definitely recommend this truck. Never had a problem with the truck. I've owned it for 2 years. I am going to upgrade the rims and tires to 20 inch from 17 inch.

For a truck nearly 16 years old and over 110,000 miles, it is in very good condition. I think it was somewhat over priced but as a Toyota I expect it will still go many more miles fairly trouble free. So far I'm happy with the purchase. My primary use is for hauling things, not necessarily having "Fun."

Love it! Change water pump and timing belt very 100,000 miles. Great truck with over 200,000 miles. Cheap to maintain. Won’t own anything but toyot

My first Toyota i bought 1 1\2 years ago and now I've been told the frame is rusted so bad it's unsafe to drive. And I still owe on it.

was in the shop every month I owned it. Then said goodbye after 16 months. all mechanical issues. second worse truck I have ever owned
