Those tundras are now available to import from Japan. They got some nice ones with 4.7 and low miles. Just have to do the right hand drive

Me too. Sold it to my neighbor 10 years ago and he's still driving it today with 330K miles on it. That triton V8 still runs like a champ.

I had a 99 extended cab Silverado Z71 that was maroon with the gold two tone bottom trim.

Then I had an 03 Sierra that was pewter.

I always liked the look of that era Ram. My Dad had the first year the Tundra came out, sweet truck, he gave it to my POS brother who completely trashed it, damned shame.

I think all those look better than their current versions.

fricking this, I shoulda just fixed my suspension and kept that bitch going til today, probably would have had at least 750,000 miles on it by now


I wish I would have kept a few over my lifetime but most I don’t miss.


From 2001 I went 2001 dodge(had a couple square body chevy’s in the 90’s)
2006 Megcab half ton gas
2008 megacab 6.7 diesel
2017 ford diesel
2022 diesel

I guess I’m getting old but would love to have my 80’s square bodies and my 01 ram still.

If ya gotta have GMT800....GMC Sierra.

GMT400 Sierra's were produced into 1999, and 2500/3500 ran into 2000.

Would have been tempted to grab a lot queen GMT400 C/K with L31.

Trucks suck so zero. I have nothing to haul or tow so don’t need one.

I had just completed graduate school and had a SUV with 400,000 miles on it.

Sept 2001 there was 0% financing I needed a truck

I chose the GMC Sierra Z71, Kept is for about 12 years sold it to a friend and they are still using it some. It was a great truck

I suspect there are more Tundras from that year still on the road than the other models. I see them all the time on Texas roads. Knowing what I know now the Tundra. Back then it would have been the F-150.
