01 Tundra, maybe?
i ran across an Iron man tundra. its black on tan which i dont like tan. anyway it has 96,000 miles. v8 4x4. extra cab. What do you all think about the miles?
I guess im asking is do the tundras hold up as good as the toyota 6 cylinder and 4 cylinder trucks do. I have a supra trubo with 100K miles, HARD HARD life no problems as well as a 94 tuck with the 22RE, 218K miles before it broke.
So any sugestions

You shouldn't have any problems. It's a TOYOTA. Truth is, there aren't too many Tundra's around that have over 100K. But the few I've ran across on the internet haven't had any troubles.
But make sure that the timing belt has been replaced. Toyota recommends that this done every 90k miles.

Other than that really I have had no problems with my Tundra (then again I only have 20K miles on it).

what's the year and price? if its for sale at ~90k, chances are theyre selling it so as to avoid the timing belt etc. change. add ~800$ to the purchase price and see if you still like it, that's how much itll cost to get the timing belt, water pump, thermostat, hoses, tensioners and all forward seals r&r'd. it's well worth the money, it's required every 90k, and once performed youre good to go. just had mine done, engine still runs like day one. you should be able to get several hundred thousand from the engine if you drive it gentle and take good care of it.

3.slow
Hello, SLOWYOTA
your just the guy to answer a couple questions, since you went in the direction I'm trying to go. First let me explain. I have a 1995 4Runner with a 3.slow and am looking into the purchase a Tundra 4x4 with the V8 , just wondering about the gas mileage and how the Tundra rides and handles, I really like my 4Runner but the 3.slow is well slow and a bit powerless
thanks

I too loved my 4runner. The day I got rid of it was a very sad day for me. In fact I still miss it. I just wish my 4runner would have had the V8. Than I would have never gotten rid of it. Good luck with your decision. Let me know if you have any other questions.

The Tundra rides better, but the handling in the 4runner was better (just because of the size difference). The only gripe I have with the Tundra is the interior. The fit and finish and the attention to detail was much better in the 4runner. There are a few rattles (dashboard & doorpanels) that I have to fix but other than that I'm EXTREMELY happy with my decision.

I just traded my '04 Tundra AC 4x4 for my 2001 4Runner + some boot! Now that I think about it, I miss my Tundra!!
All except for the gas mileage (or lack there of)!

I have an 04 . . .
. . . AccessCab, 4X4 TRD, Tow, SR5, LSD, bought it last December, I've got 19,100 miles on it as I towed a 2 place sled trailer behind it every weekend last winter. Got between 12 and 14 mpg towing and get around 17.2 mpg commuting to work and driving around. I've been changing the oil every 5000 miles using the factory filter and Valvoline 5W-30, greasing the drivetrain and changing the diff. fluid, having the wheels rotated and balanced every 5000 mi. as well. This truck is AWESOME! it is fantastic in the snow, I have hauled all sorts of crap in the bed, dirtbikes, gone off-road which the ride was mint! Of course with such low miles, I haven't had one single issue yet and don't expect to. I put the Wet Okole seatcovers I had left over from my Tacoma and they fit just fine even though the Taco seats were a bit smaller, the covers stretched to fit. I'd recommend the Thundra however when the new version comes out, I hear in 07, I'll be all over that as I love the looks of the 05 Tacoma and we know that Yota will make the next version of the Thundra even better, better than any full-size out there. Thundra all the way!
