If someone presented me the option to take one of these trucks, I wouldn’t hesitate to take the first gen Tundra. That truck ticks all the boxes on size, dependability, utility, lake of safety nannies. It just flat out is a great truck. This is coming from a second gen Tundra owner.
-
My 2000 first gen 4.7 is just over 940k miles no rebuilds
-
The 5.7 is a million mile engine as well
-
I’ve got the 4.7 V8 in my 07 Sequoia (241K miles) and it isn’t the fastest off the line but once I’m moving, the power curve is very smooth and she gets up and moves.
-
1st gen Tundra is a hidden gem for off roading or overlanding. Its smaller like a tacoma but with a v8 to be able to carry all the extra weight comfortably.
-
Turbo engines getting better gas mileage is all dependent on how you drive. If you never roll into boost and actually use the turbo and its power, then yes, the engines more efficient. But if you are driving in boost all the time, the engines still use a ton of fuel
-
5.7 Tundra did an extra full throttle run. Not much, but will effect overall fuel mileage
-
I wish I could buy my 2006 Tundra Double Cab TRD Off Road again brand new today. Perfect size, plenty of power, decent gas mileage, zero reliability issues.
-
2007-2013 tundras with the 5.7 are truck perfection!
-
Why gotta make the dialogue so cringey though?
-
Just bought 2013 Rock Warrior. 32k miles on it! I love it❤❤❤
-
New gen has still not given me that i want one feeling! The 5.7 tundra is the one i would want in my driveway !
-
I just bought a 2020 with 41k miles on it and it just looks way better than the new one. The new one just looks like a stretched Tacoma with a body kit.
-
To be fair the 1st gen tundra only raced once so it used less fuel
-
Ford guy here... but if a first generation tundra came my way, I would jump on it. Perfect size and great longevity.
-
That little 4.7L did a lot better in the drag race than I expected it to. 245hp vs 380hp and a full liter of displacement difference between it and the 2nd gen Tundra. I know the first gen is like over 700lbs lighter, but still, impressive showing for what it was.
-
1st Gen Tundra is still the best truck on the road. I have an 02 Tundra AC 4WD; throw on headers, exhaust, and some 12 hole fuel injectors and it make it feel extremely peppy off the line. I absolutely love this truck, only 161k miles on this bad boy
-
I love my 06 with a 4.7L. Beast of an engine. Still running silk smooth even with 375K with original drivetrain.
-
I paid 21k for back in 2003 for my Tundra SR5 TRD brand new, thats 35k in today's dollars. 70k for a Tundra get bent
-
5.7 will wipe the floor with the new Tundra on longevity. As a Land Rover technician, I've learned the more technology is packed into a vehicle, the more problems down the line you'll have. That goes double for any engine with a coolant hose spaghetti mess.
