my 2003 is eaisly the best purchase in transportation i have ever made.since new has had only a o2 sensor and a starter needed outside of normal maintance. the best reason to buy a new tundra now is no cam phasors to go bad and no afm to fail . if you buy any new dodge ford or chev -you better...
our family bought a sorento new in 2003. we still have it but drive it sparingly now . its got 160k. runs and drives great but hardly trouble free over its 17 years. no big issues just lots of small stuff.
buy a major brand for parts support reasons . avoid the minor players like big dawg etc. get something with a Kawasaki engine. I have had kolher -no thanks . dosnt compare to a kawi. the skag liberty series is a good fit for you
