| | | General comments? | Overall, I am quite happy with this truck. It's quiet, rides smooth, accelerates nicely, and, for a big truck, gets OK gas mileage. I have a feeling of security in the truck, and seeing the crash test videos convinced me this is a good feeling to have. I've always been a fan of Toyota reliability. That being said, I do have to bag on the brakes and the stock suspension. It is a heavy truck, but the rotors seem undersized for the momentum it generates. I've heard the stories of easily warping rotors, but ours seem fine. I'm looking into some sort of brake upgrade for the truck (the '01 SR5 didn't come with ABS), but for now, I just drive slower and plan ahead. The stock suspension is horrid, lots of body wobble and bottoms out easliy off-road. Again looking to upgrade (Total Chaos is making some uber-fancy travel kit). The interior of the truck is nice (cloth is always a good bet in a work truck), roomy, and quiet. The back seat is good for dogs, but not great for people if you're travelling more than 30 min. | | | Previous car | 1983 Toyota PU (22R), 1981 Jeep Wagoneer, 1992 Ford F350, 1991 Chevy 2500 |
