Toyota Tundra SR5 4WD
| | Model | Toyota Tundra SR5 4WD | | | What things have gone wrong with the car? | Dash squeaks and rattles. Loose components all around the vehicle; inside and out. Fan belts squeaking again at around 13-14,000 miles. THE REAR SUSPENSION SQUEAKS AGAIN. | | | General comments? | This is my second Tundra. The first 00' Tundra was just ok. It had its share of squeaks and rattles. This new 04' continues to be a disappointment. I have had trouble with it from day one. The suspension squeaks just like the last truck. The dash rattles just like the last one. The seatbelt lost its tension already. The fan belts are squeaking already. Hey, guess what? This truck only has 14,000 miles on it.
I treat my vehicles very well. I don't dogg or abuse them. That's the shame in all of this. Toyota's quality is not what most of us remember. Remember?
The good: The engine kicks butt. These V8s will effortlessly out-accelerate most vehicles if you ever need to get ahead of the pack. You've gotta love the torque!
I have a 21' Aquasport 201 Osprey bay boat. The Tundra handles the load very well indeed!
Summary: The engine and transmission seem to be fine, but mechanically, I'm not so impressed with the truck. When one spends $30,000 or so on a truck, you sure wouldn't expect it to rattle and squeak this soon, would you?
Toyota needs to tighten-up, literally!
This is Toyota Truck #3 for me. First a Tacoma, then the 01' Tundra, Now This 04' Tundra...
...I am going to the leader of the Big-3,4 or 5; whatever we're up to now?:
For me, it's DODGE! It's HEMI Time!!!
04' NISSAN Titan; it's still too early to tell just yet.
04' Ford F-150: What was Ford thinking? What happened?
