“And it might be painted with bed liner” Scotty Kills me
Should have said “and it also came painted with bed liner 😍!!!”
When it comes to Toyota, make everything a positive lol.
everything but the bed is coated in bed liner lol
Worked at Toyota, we had several customers with over 800k on their Tundras
What about Tacomas or any other coupes that were reliable?
Probably because they use a timing chain instead of a belt
Best of the best trucks outthere hopefully they keep it like that
My Tundra 2003 had 506 thousand miles on it before I broke the frame going into a drainage ditch in Northern Indiana. Ditches 6 feet across 8 foot deep!! Drive train put into another truck!!
@@moisepthats a pick up not a truck
I had a ‘95 Toyota Tacoma with 160k miles and bought it for $5k. Drove it every day for 5 years and sold it for $5,500!!! Never had to do any fix of any kind, aside from brake pads and typical maintenance stuff oil etc.
While the Tundra was introduced in 1999, it was actually considered a 2000 model year. I know… cause that’s when I bought my first brand new Tundra. Was an awesome truck. Drove it 8 ½ super reliable years and traded it for a 2007 Tundra CrewMax when the 2nd generation came out. Drove my ‘07 for 13 ½ until an oak tree fell on it and totaled it. Now I’ve got a 2020 Tundra Platinum 4x4
come to think about it my 97 f150 was build in 96 dec
Scotty, my delivery driver has an older T100. Thing has over 350,000 miles on it and still runs like a champ on original engine. He bought it back when rear view mirrors were optional so the T100 only has a mirror on the driver side not the passenger 😅
Are you sure ? isn't it right mirror become mandatory in 70s ?
I have a 98 T100. 225,000 miles and still going strong ! Mine has a passenger side mirror...
@@559kalifornia5 I think older vehicles may get grandfathered in. Also enforcement is fairly poor. I have seen people driving around with temp tags over a year old.
@@559kalifornia5 Laws vary by state, but in California, only two mirrors are required, one on the driver's side, and the other on the center windshield or passenger side. This is the current law, although in practice, all vehicles are sold with three mirrors.
I loved my 97 T100, a jackwagon left turned my BF and totaled it.
5 yrs ago I bought my 1999 Ford F-150 4x4 made in Norfolk Virginia had a 134,000 miles, has a little Rust but only cost me $2,500 runs like a champ even the AC still works great!!
😂😂😂😂 f1shity
I bought an old 99 superduty with gas engine thatd been used to haul a trash dumpster. It had 190k miles on it and needed some suspension parts replaced and a new muffler,but ran great. I drove it another 6 years and sold it for almost what I gave for it. Great old work truck.
@@ciphercode2298👍 Mine also needed a little TLC from almost two decades of basic owner neglect, it was only then she truly shined, although Rust never sleeps. Also my last job as a demolition repair welder, one one of my required tasks was working on mostly decades-old roll off dumpsters.
"They're reliable trucks" ~ Scotty. As it sits in his driveway, w/ the hood up. Scotty you are a hoot 🦉. 😲😲😲
The used ones cost too much also! Still great trucks though and worth the money.
In 2012 I bought a 2002 F350 7.3L diesel 6spd manual 4x4 with only 170k miles-- for $7500.. and today it has 330k miles and can still tow that toyota up the side of a mountain without even trying hard. I don't know who's paying $14k for a 99 truck, but they got suckered. lol
@@calholli yup that's a super solid rig for sure. I think he said it had 160k on it when they bought it and now it's over 300k. So I'm guessing they paid 14k a while ago.
@@calholli It's a diesel so no surprise.
@@calholli just make sure you don't ever get blowby. I miss my 7.3 f350.
@@zythr9999 yeah.. but my point is about the Price. I paid half and got twice the Truck.. Idk who is buying these Toyota's for $14k.. but I don't get it.
I scored a 01 4x4 one owner, 3 years ago for 10k, all stock w/100k miles.. what a gem
You paid 10k for a 2001? Lol
@@berube361 that's not surprising. out here they're selling clapped out 00-04's for $7k to start. Dealers AND private sellers.
Haters gonna hate ^^^
@@berube361 For one owner bone stock 100K flat? Could be a hell of a lot worse dude
I’m hoping I can snag one from somebody who doesn’t know what they have and just want it gone. I’m giving me vibes of those old 90s land cruisers - you know how valuable those are
Plus the new ones have those complicated turbo V6 engines.
The new ones aren’t as reliable because of a transistor in one of the motherboards tend to go back overtime or with vibration. The older ones are perfect. They don’t use so many sensors and delicate parts
Exactly. I hate the new vehicles they've added all this electronic crap to. @@rypdx
I practically gave away my 2000 tundra. It had 320,000 miles with 0 issues. I gave it to my daughter as a first car and after 3 years she bought something alot nicer. The truck was dented all over and paint was faded but it ran like a champ. The interior was dirty and stained, a few rips. Ended up selling it for 3k but I saw others going for 5k.
Scotty just Raised the used truck prices soon the bedliner paint section will be just empty shelves
I got a 2004 still runs perfect no issues 200.000 Miles
I had a 2000 tundra. Sold it for $5500 with 234k miles and it's the only vehicle I regret selling.
Could've sold it for double that. Theres a 98 4Runner with 294k miles on it going for $6k on Carfax right now. Looks like someone got murdered in it so maybe thats why...
Forget that 4 runner... I just got a 2019 trd sport 4x4 v 6 ... 86k miles for 23,000....
The achilles heel of old toyota trucks is rust. If you're in AZ or CA, I absolutely agree with this. In the rust belt most of these are powder by now.
Not if you use Fluid Film or Krown annually. Zero speck of rust.
Scotty my all time favorite dude...he's straight to the point always. No man can get as real as this.
Scotty is the absolute best auto channel on RUclips, and as a long time mechanic, you can tell he has so much fun talking about these reliable cars.
i bet this fellow here fixes cars for such cheap price and has great reputation for his personality and his ability and willingness to give back with his knowledge. Not that he has to however he loves to. What a great guy scotty
*Slaps quarter million mile Toyota*
"The truck's still here". 🚚💪
My '93 Nissan 4x4 (bought in 1996 with 14k miles for $14k) lasted me 20 years and 200k miles. No major repairs. Still had original clutch, never failed me. I miss that truck.
My sin lives in Carlsbad, N.M. The frequent sand storms have sandblasted the pait on his 2011 truck. He's said many around there past them with bedliner for protection.
That's a work truck right there!
To anyone interested in these old tundras, here is some important info.
You should probably stay away from 2000-2002, unless you get a killer deal/love the look (they changed the looks in 2003)
The 2000-2002 models have undersized calipers that warp rotors quickly, (can be changed) and weaker transmissions (still a Toyota, though). they equipped them with better exhaust manifolds in 2005 as well. There is probably other things I’m forgetting, you kind of have to dig for this info
Also, with all Tundra years, you have got to get up under them with a flashlight and check for rust. These trucks had frame recalls due to rust issues. If you live in a salt state, 9/10 of them will probably be rotted through in multiple places. If you get lucky, though, you’ll get one that had a new frame and brake lines installed under the recall. Search for those
This is really fuckin good advice
Thank you for this
My 02 v6 rusty 300 k tundra might be rotted from rust and horrible braking but it still gets me to where I need to go anytime anywhere
@@gevannyhernandez7934 same here my 04 Yamaha tw200 runs like a dream, then again it has no rust was garage kept and only had 80 miles on it when I bought it, paid $1200 last year currently has 600 miles on the dot I think.
THANKS
Just bought one with a 4.0 v6. Only 44k. Great truck. Really impressed by this v6. Gets up and moves.
The perfect truck for a zombie apocalypse.
I bought a Toyota Tacoma 2004 I’m originally owned and gotten already 250 thousand miles and still running like champs, it’s made in japan,
That's a 4.7 Iforce V8. Best engines.
This exact truck towed 18000 pounds with trailer
I'm perfectly happy with my 4×4 1995 Nissan Pathfinder! Bought for 1,500 with 205,000 miles on it and it runs like a champ! Best deal ever!
It probably has a vg engine, those things are indestructible. I have one in my 1991 maxima and it still runs great and it has been abused. It has a faulty knock sensor, it only has 1 working cooling fan and I floor it every time in the hyway. Thing has over 250k, I do have to admit that the transmission is garbage xD I got to rebuild it with the transgo shift kit so I could floor it properly and not slip in third and forth. They used faulty o rings for the oil pump and it leaks pressure.
@@Brandon-uy1uv I got the VG30, so tough and it always surprises me with what it can do! Lol yeah it can easily push my truck to 100, which is crazy for a old 4×4😂. I've got plans of putting a turbo on it in a few months, my friend has his twin turboed and OMG😲😲💨💨💨💨
I wish they made a 3/4 ton for work!
Thank you you for this advice. im 70 and need a vehicle for towing a car on a trailer. one that starts and gets me there safely. Toyota seems like the best bet.👍👍👍
Scotty, because of your advice, i bought a 97 4runner with 200k on it. Rust free from the south and paid 3800. It's awesome and you were right. 😊
I got an 03 and it's my daily driver. Love it!
"And listen to the engine"
....
*starts and squeaks*
Squeaks into life
326k miles later, yes it’s gonna squeak
@Dax Anderson duh it has 326K miles after all & 22 years old. Don't be typical American whining about something not being perfect
In case you didn't know engines make noise. At 300K+ it's obviously still running fine. Some people out here with newer cars have shittier engines.
Nothing a new serpintine belt, belt tensioner, and idler pulley replacement can't fix
Can't argue,although some will try.Look at Toyota's auto awards,they don't lie.
I got a used Tundra a month ago! Scotty's right again!
Anything pre computer is highly recommended.
Need to avoid 2004-2008 due to frame rust issues.
I got a 2005 toyota tundra it was cheap but mostly because the person who sold didn't want to fix and was friends with my dad.
I have 530k on mine
Ford is recalling nearly 49,000 electric Mustang Mach-E SUVs and has told dealers to stop selling the ones on their lots due to a potential power loss issue.
The problem stems from a high voltage battery main contactor that can overheat and either remain stuck open or weld closed following the use of a DC fast charger or repeated wide open accelerator pedal events.
"If the contactor opens while driving, a powertrain malfunction warning light will be illuminated and the vehicle will display 'Stop Safely Now’ in the cluster when the vehicle experiences an immediate loss of motive power," Ford wrote in papers filed with the NHTSA.
What does that have to do with the topic of the video?
@@Amnbluegrass
Nothing. Buff just likes to knock Ford. If Buff really wants to look-into recalls and TSB's he better be prepared for 10s of thousands of all Asian brands over the decades. No automotive manufacture is immune to recalls and TSB's.
97 GMC serria w/302k mostly original only brakes and alternator changed
Just got my ‘02 with the 4.7L for $3,850 with 219,000 miles. With some tlc and front end suspension work, I’ll spend less than 1,000. Doing the work myself. Engine and trans are a beast!
Love these trucks owned 4 of them
like the bedliner paint.. coool.. tuff never rust tufff
Listen to that engine as the belt squeaks lol
Nice buy! Cost is a matter of opinion 💸
I was looking at Tundras and Sequoias because they're cheaper than Tacoma and 4runners,but the starter under the intake manifold changed my mind.
I bought a 2021 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro last year, yes they are really expensive and the dealership marked it even for a higher price but I love it and hopefully it will last me the rest of my life!!!.
What's your Instagram I'd? I want to see your truck
They are great trucks, my dads got several of them. But I like 1st gen Tacoma’s better, manual transmissions and better gas mileage.
I think that's a '00 built in '99. 2000 to 2006 Tundras have interchangeable grills and hoods with 2001 to 2007 Sequoia SUVs.
In my 2nd Tundra. So impressed they don't have a single problem,drives like the first day you bought it new. Although some models may have a way too small gas tank. That's why I am on the 2nd. I doubt if it gonna have a problem before I am gone😂
HAY! Nothing wrong painting your car or truck with bed liner 😮💨
Toyota settled a class action law suit to repair rusted out frames from in the 90’s 3 billion. Excellent trucks just check the chassis.
Bought (cash) me a 2002 Chevy S10 (Single Cab) with 88,000 miles on it for $3500 (which was dropped from the original $3700 price). It was involved in a wreck (once) and the front right bumper was replaced but works like a clock and gets me to & from work no problem
I love my 1991 Toyota 4x4 truck Lt blue. I bought it from the original owner 1995. It was made in Japan. It now has 144k mile's.
this is so true down to the last words
We had a older Toyota truck too and it was four wheel drive had 640,000 miles it's still ran great but one day I sunk it in a mud hole that was 3 years ago it's gone now but if that never happened that I bet it would still be running it would probably be at $800,000 miles now
Got me a 96' tacom 2.7 liter and it is a danm good ol' truck. Don't have too many problems with it considering how old it is. I want to eventually turn it into a rock crawler.
He could probably sell it for 14K today...
Painted with bed liner?
For every happy truck story there's an equal number of sad truck stories somewhere.
Rather 2000 to 06 but 1st gen tundra are the best gen of this line.
I was at work about a month ago (I retired) and saw a new ford (Maverick?) on the lift with a sticker that was over $59,000.00. On top of that, it was a really cheap looking truck. No thank you.
Down here Tundra/Hi Lux are 75kaud$ now and imported Chev trucks etc from usa about 150k
@@billwilliams9362 - - - The Tundra is a far better truck than the Chevy. I have a Chevy Silverado and it's rusting into dust. It also eats brakes for breakfast. I heard Australia also has a high import tax on US vehicles but not sure where you would get a Tundra. Maybe you should shop around locally for a truck. Good luck.
I bought an ‘02 Tundra. Still have it with only 380K miles. A Toyota dealership thought it was a newer truck and couldn’t believe how great it runs. This gem will last me a lifetime. If I get to 1M miles… Toyota gives a free vehicle if with original engine and transmission…. No problem!
14k?
Damn
I can't even find a gen 2 tacoma for that price 🤣
I’d buy it. Wouldn’t cost that much to restore it relative to the price of a new one.
It's been abuse to the max hahaha what a description,, reminds me to my neighbor hahaha she is wild 😜😜
Ninety-nine! In 99 I would never have bought a 23 year old Chevy truck even if it was perfect the longevity factor just isn't there.
Get a 1998 ford ranger v6 3.0l 4wd. It will last and stays strong too.
He paid extra for the tinted windows
2nd gen Tacoma's are great too! 3rd not so much.
I have a 2014 Taco, 4 cylinder 4x2 no frills and thrills but my baby still running smooth with 136,000 miles. No problems other than the entune system acting weird here and there.
@@intergalacticchicano same, got an 05 4x4 trd sport with almost 250k miles. Need a tune up, but runs better at idle than one of my family members 3rd gen. I wish yours to go another 200k+ miles!
@@FreedomFishing hell yeah homie, my baby should last me till i pass away
Perhaps but not made for big people. The tundra is.
@@nole8923 I can see that. Both great trucks.
Alright, the price of this one is insane for the condition its in. The only things to deal with because of age on this generation of trucks is the head gaskets, evap canister, and basically anything emissions related will be starting to fail. Also probably some lightbulbs inside the gauge clusters, and overall interior plastics will already be brittle.
Wrong
I have a 2002 Tundra TRD Off Road and it still runs great! I have owned Ford F-150 Chevy Z71, Isuzu, Land Rover, Dodge RAM and they all have so many mechanical problems and disappointing let downs that it just would not be smart for me to buy any truck other then Toyota .
I dig this video! Hurray Tundra! Don't drive in the artic though, echo logical destruction could result.
I bought a 2003 Ford Explorer with 236,000 miles with the 4.6 V8 got it for 1100 need a new wheel bearings in the front replace those did a brake job got smaller rims and the thing is running just fine do the oil change on it spark plug change on it and I’m currently at 241K
Now Scotty I aggree my gma has one and it runs like is brand new and 400k
I want the current gen titan. I like how they look tbh.
I did buy a used Tundra a little over a year ago! 2010.
I have a 2010 Tundra I bought in 2012 with 32,000 miles. Paid the guy $25,000 for it. Now 10 years later it has 233,000 still runs like new. Other than brakes 1 time, oil and tires, the only problem was replaced the starter at 200,000. Great truck.
Why are you screaming at me 😭😂
I'm glad I waited, I was going to start flaming your comments if you said Ford Ranger or S10.
I had a Toyota Tacoma that had 270,000 miles on it and never changed oil last 2 years and it still ran like a top but body rusted lol
My 2010 Tacoma has 100,000 Mi on it and obviously no issues so far. Still on Factory brakes.
Must’ve had the Bataan Death March off-road package, or the Unit 731 first responder upgrades
Only if it has a non interference engine which means that if the timing belt goes it doesn't mess up the rest of the engine
YES Scotty! I love my Tundra Crewmax Limited with an V8 engine 💪 on my way to the million miles Tundra club 👍
I bought a 4runner that's a year older than I am. Are you proud of me yet, Scotty? Lol
Scotty is too funny 😂
'99, 166k, $14k Damn!
If you listen to what Scotty said; the owner paid that when he first bought it years ago. It now has 326k on the clock.
Well depends how many years ago he got it, Toyota usually do resale higher then other brands that have a lot of expensive maintenance
The reason why we still have our 2005 tundra and won’t let it go for nothing over 200k miles purrrrrr like a kitten lol
I have a 02 tundra 193k and I will say just about the only thing I don't like about it is the shifting from 1st to 2nd they can be a little hard In these trucks
Guy at my work bought one of those older tundras new and put 625k miles on it. Only reason he has to get rid of it was because eof rust
I don't got a 99 but I got a 14 so here's to hoping they only got better!
I would love too but can’t justify the mpg as a daily. Can’t afford to buy two more cars in this market.
Imagine if that Tundra actually had an owner that properly maintained it cosmically!
As far as reliable I agree, the opd Tundras are indestructible. But as far as hauling, towing heavy loads, nope they just can't do that.
Bought myself an 05 for my landscaping business. Damn good purchase
129k miles for 8900 in good condition too!
The only problem with that is that you can't tow too much (legally and safely) I know cause I've had 2 for landscaping. Now down to one tundra and one HD truck
In this day and time,if its paid for keep it and maintain it.
The used ones are also incredibly expensive ive seen multiple ones with 200k miles selling for over 20k
Got family that work at that plant. They been there since it opened
