This is the truck I should have built years ago. 4.88's, 33" tires, 5" lift with OME rear springs, ARB air lockers front and rear, ARB bumper, still needs a winch, rear bumper, and a 3.4 motor with a supercharger when I get to it. .

Sure seems to be a lot of maroon Toyotas.

How do you guys with the newer Tundras like them? I'm seriously considering one but dubious about the brake actuated limited slip differentials. I'd rather have a true, mechanical LSD or full lock out option. Everything else on the truck is solid. Really wish Toyota didn't cheap out on that feature.

I don't know if 16yo qualifies as older but I sure do love my 02 Taco....150k...just broke in. FG, tell us about that trailer, please. I like the looks of that and have a need. Any and all info on it would be appreciated. Thanks.

Was thinking very seriously of looking for a newer Tundra, damned if I could do it. Just can't justify the price or mileage. Enjoy my 23 y/o T100 SR5 too much. Mine got one of it's twice-a-year baths today. It's been awhile...let's see some of the 'Fire members Toyotas out there...share 'em if you got 'em... My SIL had one of those. I like that body style more than the new Tundras. Those IMO, are too bulky and big. That one is more streamline and better looking. Looks to be in great shape. If it was mine, I'd just keep on driving it. DF

toyota needs to revamp the tundra. 15 mpg does not cut it now. They ONLY have .391 rear ends and no 8 or 10 speed transmissions. Falling behind the power curve there.

You know,my 2002 Tundra V-8 will get 24-25mpg if I'm on a steady highway trip.In town,more like 13-15mpg.

I am annoyed that the gas mileage is not in the low 20s but I typically get 17 with non ethanol gas. Upside is there are no repair bills I guess.

I have 6 years and 160K miles on my 2013 FJ and its still going strong. No expensive repairs to speak of and gets 19 to 20 around town and 22 on the highway. I wish the hatch in the back hinged from the top instead of from the side, but its no big thing. Still does what I want it to and goes where I want it to go.

Thanks, DF, agreed. Mine has 215K, just did the water pump and timing belt. No drips, smoke or noise. She should be good to go to 300K.. I've had many T100's, first gen Tundras, and one later model Tundra. All great trucks, but always come back to the simplicity and mileage of the T100 series. The 3.4 is stovebolt reliable, and with a few suspension mods, a trans cooler and some airbags, the trucks will do much of what the big boys will do at a fraction of the expense and fuel. Have had lots of different campers for them too, right now I've settled on the Starcraft Starblazer popup (that's a Palomino pictured). It extends to 6'7'' tall and it fits me.

2013 TRD Sport, longbed, just rolled past 85k. Been solid since day one and I can count on one hand the number of times I wished for a larger pickup.

2012 tacoma with 150K, occasionally I would like a little more room but probably best truck I've had and the one I've kept for the most miles, will probably keep it about 2 more years before I consider getting rid of it, probably for another tacoma or maybe the tundra. We'll see what my liferstyle status is by then.

07 FJ with 290K and a 2015 6 speed Manual Taco with 100K. The FJ has never let me down. The Taco is just getting broken in.

2001 4wd SR5 with 4.7 auto. Probably my favorite truck. Great engine, and really a good size for hunting. Mine had the frame recall, so at that time I had a lot of other things replaced. It ran like new. I sold it to a farm boy as a first truck. I let him negotiate a good price, glad he has it. Moved on to a 2018 4Runner, and it is great, but I like the Tundra better. No pics of my '01 Tundra. Same as this but white. Bought it Mar of '12 with 66K on it. Now has 96K.Only driven winters now last 4 yrs. Absolutely love it. Rides way smoother than my '99 Chev 2WD I run around with during summers. Still miss the 03 Tacoma with 105K it replaced but way more comfortable and more power for longer trips for my crippled up over weight arse. The 3.0 in Tacoma and the 4.7 in the Tundra run within 1mpg+/- depending on roads,temp etc. The Tundra just more comfy.
