In 2004, the Toyota Tundra made strides towards becoming a true full-size truck with the addition of a crew-cab body style. Still smaller than its American competitors (F-150, SIlverado, Ram), the standard Tundra is more of a full mid-size than mid full-size.
Reviewers of this truck have praised its smooth ride and the power of the optional 4.7-liter V8, while others have panned the base 3.4-liter V6, wondering what place a V6 has in a truck of this size.
What owners say
"Overall, drivers are very pleased with the 2004 Toyota Tundra, praising its sturdy build, reliability, and ample power for towing and hauling. Many appreciate its comfortable interior and good handling. However, several reviewers mentioned the less-than-ideal gas mileage as a downside."
It is so reliable, easy to maintain, good looking, practical and fun, push of a button 4WD has been a life saver on more than one occasion (or at least so I don't have to get out of the truck) in the snow, slush, mud, cold, ice, etc. Would definitely recommend one to anyone. Even my brother likes it and he is a full size Chevy kinda guy.
June 19, 2013This model Tundra has been very good and reliable for transporting very large kitchen appliances for my business. Also came in very handy when I had to move from my old house! Great Electronics on board and power underneath the hood!
September 3, 20144 wheel drive, garage kept, nice running truck. 69.000 miles, gently used. Rear slide down window. Rain and mud guards. Tool box. A/C, cruise, keyless lock, Surround sound, DVD player, electric drivers seat control, locks and windows. Bought it from originall owner through Toyota dealer. Newer tires, maintained along with oil change every 3 months. Some minor scrapes and very small dents. Dark grey, interior brown, back windows tinted. Runs smooth and quiet with good acceleration. Brakes work great with wet roads and quick, sudden stops. Looks very good, no engine problems. OK with gas mileage for a V-8. Very easy to drive and leather seats are comfortable. Has full back seats with DVD player and headphones. Radio controls on steering wheel and on radio.

March 17, 2011I love the horsepower of my truck, it's great for towing, great for cruising on the highway, and with the offroad TRD package (skid plate and nerf bars) I have no fear of taking it to the back woods of Maine or Vermont. It's capable in the snow, and handles like a much larger truck. I've only replaced tires and gave it an oil change or two since I bought it. It gets twenty two miles to the gallon on the highway when driven at the posted speed limit. My only complaint is that I need a bigger back seat to take along more friends, but the access cab is big enough for the kids in back for now.
March 9, 2009This is the best car I have ever owned. It is built very solid. There isn't a rattle, squeak, whine, etc, and that is after 70,000 miles. It still drives like new. In 2004, this was the the only 1/2 ton full size truck that could seat a family of 5 (with 3 car seats) and still had a full 6+ foot bed. My only gripe is gas mileage. The Tundra in general gets good gas mileage compared to comparable full sized trucks. Mine, however, is worse because of the aftermarket parts. I could not live without my Tun.
July 17, 2008Lots of Power, great acceleration and smooth ride. Lots of room whether you are in the back or front. Great towing.
February 21, 2008I purchased a first generation Tundra ( 2006 Dbl Cab ) that I found using CarGurus in March 2020. The vehicles size and features are good balance that more roomy than a current model Tacoma but not as bulky as the Gen 2 Tundras. Note of Caution: The first generation Tundra is a great vehicle as long as you can find one with a solid frame. The rust issues associated with the frame cross members on some of these early Tundras should be considered when researching.
May 7, 2020This truck has never let me down. Plenty of power, handles well. 160k miles and i have done nothing but maintenance. Fits 2 car seats when needed. Has towed anything i need, and is really fun to drive. Great truck.
August 17, 2012This truck has been solidly reliable. It has excellent jump when gas is applied. Handles well except in small turns and parking takes some getting used to. It has a comfortable ride and all controls are within easy reach. It truly is the best car I have ever owned.
July 11, 2011Love it. Purchased about 6 months ago used with 70k on it. Hoping to test the Toyota reliability and drive it for years to come! Prior owner took really good care of it. Enjoy it so far. Long bed and crew cab do make the car very long, and you'll notice backing up or into small parking spaces.
