“Toyota is dry grilled chicken breast, quinoa, and steamed broccoli”
I felt that with every fiber of my being

Gen 1 Toyota Tundra: The quietest cult you can always be a part of

[gilbertramos]

I have a 2002 tundra with 410, 000 miles and still running solid. I have so much respect for these amazing trucks! Thanks for this video it made my day

"A Tundra is for someone who keeps his opinion to himself, while a Cummins is for someone who spends a significant amount of time trying to pass on the infection of his mind."

That one got me.

The pickup for the Construction foreman you can't mess around with.

The irony is that a used Tacoma made in the same year as this Tundra would still cost more money

Toyota Tundra: the official truck of "380k miles never off roaded all highway miles $6k no lowballers"

[peterjones]

I own the 2000 Tundra Limited, extra cab, leather seats and 112 thousand miles. It runs like a top and I"ve had zero problems with it. The truck is bulletproof and will probably outlive me. I plan to buy a new Toyota 4runner in 2024 to get the 6 cylinder engine before it goes away in 2025 but I will NEVER sell my 2000 Tundra Limited, NEVER, I am emotionally attached to this first Tundra. It's in perfect condition and I will be replacing the suspension if needed soon if I'm told it's worn out. I'm going to have the spray rhino liner or something similar put into the bed and I'm going to paint it will the original burgundy color and make it look new. The interior is in perfect condition. I've had lots of vehicles in my 70 years but nothing compares to this amazing 2000 Tundra Limited.

My first truck when I was 16 was a 2001 Tundra V8... the Limited with the TRD sticker and fender flares (a factory option, for the record). I drove it for 4 years and in that time took it from about 160k miles to 260k miles. That truck taught me fundamental lessons in vehicle control and capability - no traction control, no stability control and minimal ABS, but enough power to slide just about anywhere except dry asphalt. Every chance I’d get we’d set up time trials down dirt roads on a ranch or back roads in the Hill Country. In open fields we’d practice drifting before taking it to the dirt twisties. I never put it into a fence or a tree, but got close enough to learn how not to. What an incredible time.

That lack of body, bed, frame dissonance you talk about is real. There’s an uncanny solidness to the first gen Tundra that makes it feel as much rally car as it is body-on-frame pickup. Maybe that’s an exaggeration... Anyway, the old girl is still in the family, around 340k miles I believe.

My dad had a 2002 Tundra this same color that I essentially grew up in. Sold it to a friend 4 years ago for his teenaged son to drive at 350, 000 miles and it's still going. That kid abuses the heck out of it and it has outlasted 3 of his friend's other trucks.

Damn.
I’m stealing that.

Mr. Regular harbors a healthy amount of disdain for the coal rollin' cummins crowd and it pleases me.

My dad told me about how he was part of a toyota focus group in the 80's. They pretty much asked him one thing and it was "what would make you switch to a japanese truck?"

And almost everyone complained how small japanese trucks were. So here we are with this

I work at an autobody shop. It is hilarious how little these trucks depreciate. We still get the odd 1st-gen Tundra in the shop that just smoked a deer for the 3rd time in its life but still has enough value to the point where it still won't total out. xD

It looks like someone was describing the Tenth generation F150 over the phone.

"Sorry, can you stay in that lane for the shot?"

"Oop- yep, sorry."

[fideltrujillo]

The older tundras are for dudes who never show boat and find things that are nice or expensive to be unreasonable ...a frugal collected mans truck .

I have a 2003 Sequoia (SUV Version of this tundra) and I absolutely love it. It has 150, 000 ish miles on it and it drives like new. It is a fantastic truck! Last summer (2019) we took a family vacation with my inlaws and we drove up Mt. Washington in New Hampshire. My two brother in laws have a 2018 GMC Denali XL and a 2016 Dodge Durango (with a Hemi of course) and they ragged on my Sequoia saying that they would stop to help when it broke down on the way up. The sequoia climbed the mountain with the temperature never going above 1/2 way up the gauge. The Denali overheated once and the Durango three times. On the way down the Sequoia maintained speed in low gear just fine, only requiring a few light taps on the brakes, seldom exceeding 25 MPH. The Denali and Durango were unable to do so and overheated their brakes. The Durango was so bad its rotors warped and I ended up changing his brakes so it was drivable. I thanked them for all the “help” they gave me. 😂

That interior brings back memories of my '01 Tacoma. Almost identical. Ahhh yes, 1990s-early 2000's velour-like tan cloth interior. Gotta love it.

"it's amazing how a truck can keep going past the point where even the manufacturer wants to take it apart to figure out how they did it" Me: Real laugh
