    Howdy Larry. I've owned my 2001 Tundra since 2003 and it's still as strong as the day I bought it. I haven't experienced many mechanical issues, the biggest was replacing my radiator, and the power steering lines. I haven't done all the work myself, I paid someone to change the timing belt and water pump because I felt it was just too big of a job to do in my driveway. I'm due for another timing belt change and will pay someone again. The pics are from 2003 and 2025.
