Looking for some input from anyone with a 2001 Tundra V8 (good or bad).

I currently have a 1997 T-100 V6 w/119,000 miles which I've been extremely happy with for the last 8 years...very reliable with no major issues other than routine maint., timing belt replacement, etc. However, we bought a new camper that is really pushing the limits of the T100's towing capability.

Came across a 2001 Tundra SR5 V8 that has enough power to tow my camper with ease...excellent condition, 78000 miles, TRD off-road package.

But, I'm concerned about giving up my T-100 reliability...

...anyone out there been at a similiar cross-road? If so, how'd you make out?

thanks-
Dan

I hav a 93 T100 SR5 with the 3.0L V6.

I got tired of the lack of power and the poor fuel mileage AFTER the dealer changed the engine from the head gasket recall.

I bought a 1KZTE Toyota engine from Jarco and installed it properly. Now I have all the power that I could even want and 20 MPG hauling my 2,000lbs trailer with over 4,000 lbs of firewood.
It burns very clean even when accelerating.
You can buy these engines through JDM Miami now or on their EBay site
