The 2002 Toyota Tundra continued to give drivers the high quality pickup they had come to expect from the Tundra line. The full-size Tundra is slightly smaller that the American full-size trucks, but counterbalances this paucity with a smooth, quiet ride.
The standard engine remained a 3.4-liter double-overhead-cam V6 rated at 190 horsepower with 220 lb/ft of torque, while the upgrade is a 4.7-liter double-overhead-cam V8 rated at 245 horsepower with 315 lb/ft of torque.
Driving is very smooth, and towing is quite simple. The relatively powerful engine barely hesitates at heavier loads, and is rugged in all kinds of weather.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2002 Toyota Tundra express strong satisfaction with its reliability, power, and performance. They appreciate its comfortable ride, capability to tow, and enduring design. However, some have noted minor issues with the engine and a less-than-ideal sound system. Despite these concerns, the consensus is that this truck remains a popular and dependable choice."
This is a great truck with great reliability. It has a V8 that offers great power and towing ability while still being a comfortable everyday driver. The gas mileage is about 16 MPG which is not too bad. The truck sits up pretty high but still handles really well and the brakes are good too. The looks have withstood the test of time with it still being a great looking truck compared to even the new models out today. Highly recommended!
September 2, 2014I am the second owner of this 75,000 mile `02 Tundra. In my five + years of ownership, the only mechanical problem it has had was a bad O2 sensor that got seized in the exhaust manifold. (A dealer replaced both parts under warranty.) This truck has brute power and speed. With a reported 7.8 second 0-60 time, I have gotten it to jump the rear tires going into 2nd gear (automatic). The 32 valve Lexus inspired V-8 is extremely responsive and roars like a Cup car under hard excelleration. The gear changes are barely noticable unless your foot is in the floor. The power is complimented nicely by a very smooth ride. It doesn't quite feel like a truck at times. Interior fit and finish is comfortable and sound. The exterior finish is tough as nails, putting up with year after year of Southwestern sun abuse. There has been no paint fade that I can tell. I would definately recommend this truck to friends and family, but they'll have to get your own; this one is mine!
May 28, 2008I like everything about it. Highly reliable. Toyota sure did a great job of backing and paying for the frame and other parts replacement. Otherwise no rust anywhere else, it has always run like a charm. I have gotten a lot of compliments on the truck.

May 25, 2014I love the truck all together. Have never had any major issues that I could not work out myself. The anti-lock brakes work great, I have never had my tires lock up. Plenty of power to pull a camper. all around a great truck.
May 5, 2014I have owned a 2007 Tundra Crew Max, a 2005 Tacoma, and this 2002 Tundra is as good a handling vehicle as the others. It is very sturdy and reliable. The CD player only holds one CD at a time, but I can live with that. 4WD at the push of a button. Great truck.
July 26, 2013I've put this truck through it's paces and I love it - 15 cars that I've owned and this one is one of the top 3! It has the ride of a car and can tow anything you put behind it! The Extra-Cab is a wonderful size and holds 4 people with ease.
September 4, 2008Very fuel efficient for a v8, great looking truck, will work rite for you if you require a small truck for your job and also have a family. Two vehicles in one. So not a bad place to put your hard earned money.
March 19, 2013The Tundra is a great truck. I wasted my money on the extended warranty. I have had nothing but a positive experience with this truck. It has plenty of space and handles like a stable sedan. I love my Tundra.
December 12, 20099 years owning Tundras. No major issues. Great in the sand, great in the snow. Gas mileage is excellent for a V8.
