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!
