#32 of 598 No V6 option on 4X2 ? by floydsun Sep 10, 2002 (6:28 am)
Why did the V6 option go away for the extended-cab 4X2? I don't want an S-Runner or Pre-Runner. Guess I'll go look at Nissan.
#33 of 598 2001 Tacoma, I need help by mtnridr Sep 13, 2002 (7:48 am)
I hope someone can give some insight on what I should do. I bought a brand new 2001 Tacoma SR5/TRD V6 4x4 a year and half ago. Since day one I have had nothing but problems with this truck. Alarm not working correctly, sunroof not sitting in the roof correctly (has had to be fixed twice now) temp guage stopped working, drivers window started to fail (bad regulator) front tires balding after 7000 miles (was incorrectly aligned at factory) rear slider leaking, I have now had 6 gaskets that fit between fender and the body of truck replaced because they were coming off (2 of the same ones), 3 speakers replaced after they all developed bad crackling noises, rattles in the shifter boot and passenger door fixed numerous times, a rattle in the passenger side of dash (turned out to be the airbag was never secured at the factory, just had that fixed again as well) the plastic cover that fits over the rear bumper was misaligned at the factory that it started to scrape the paint off of the rear tailgate when it was opened and close, the dash had become loose and they said it was some broken clips that had to be replaced believe it or not but I could keep going, I was hoping someone could give me some insight on what I should do?   I have called the customer service dept of western region toyota and they opened up a case almost 2 months ago and was just finally told I may have to go through a hassle called arbitration, My dealer has always fixed every problem and the service dept has been very accomadating but I believe I have also. Here is the kicker, I only have 26,000 miles on this new truck.   A little background on how it has been treated: A daily commuter, has been up in the mountains 40+ times to go skiing, never seriously offroad, just a few times up forest service roads (which I don't classify as offroading anyways) thats it. Needless to say I don't trust this truck past the factory warranty, because then I will be shelling money out of my pocket just to keep this thing on the road.   I am hoping this is just some fluke on Toyotas part, this is my 4th Toyota I have owned, my last one being a 1990 4x4 truck that I sold with 198,000 miles on it and it was still going strong, My wife currently drives a 96 4runner and we have never replaced a speaker or guage or window ever, and it now has 102,000 miles and we don't intend on selling it for a long time.   Anybody have any suggestions on what else I should do? Any input would be great

Sorry to hear that. My 2002 that I've had since November of last year, 19.5K miles now, has not had a single problem. No rattle, no fender flares coming off. Fender flare problem was fixed for 2002s, you may want to point that out to the dealer. Tire alignment: Toyota offers free alignment within 1 year/20K miles, essentially a break-in alignment. You should have used it to fix a problem with tires. Overall, I think you got a lemon truck. Check lemon laws in your state, I think it's 3 visits to the dealer without problem being fixed, or 30 days in a garage total...something like that. You ought to get a new truck through arbitration. If it comes to that, get a lawyer.

#37 of 598 2002 Tundra tire wear by garthky Sep 21, 2002 (2:57 pm)
My 2002 Tundra 2-wheel drive regular cab, only has 6,000 miles; however I have noticed unusual tire wear. I took it to the shop for an alignment check and after having some problems getting their computer programed, I was told it was within tolerance. Has anyone else noticed excessive or unusual tire wire? Thanks, Tom

Check the lemon laws in your state!!! I know what kind of hassle you are going through. I had mutiple problems with a 1999 Mazada B3000 Troy Lee. I didn't get to the arbritation. I traded the #*&% thing off. In hind sight, I should have taken the dealer on. One of the reasons the dealer is being so nice is he doesn't want to dish out a new truck. I hope you win. I'd like to know how it turns out.

01 Tundra. Anyone figured out how to wire trailer lights without blowing fuses and without buying the extra wiring harness($150)from toyota? I was told the harness is only $60 for 00 and 02 models.
