Human kindness. Even better than a GMT800.

That truck would be real cool cruising around Myrtle Beach these days. Latest SC Squat.

I've owned 2. Aside from crappy interior and HVAC actuators they are tough as nails best car I've ever owned

I know Toyotas get all the love in terms of reliability and longevity but I think these gmt800’s are right there with them, if not better

I agree about the 2000’s Toyotas….. But the new full-size Toyota trucks are having engine issues… The non- V8 engines can’t handle the use as a truck engine.
I was told to stay away from them…. I LOVE my ’05 Yukon…..

I should have meant the older ones , also older lexus
The new turbo engines are no good, watched a tear down of one recently and it would be a $5k water pump job
Not to mention they’re crapping out

Wait, what? $5k water pump? That's insane!

A coworker just bought at 2024 Tundra, he said pre-owned, with something like 40k miles...of course, based on the reliability of his mid 2000s Cambry...

Just going from what I heard….. The full-size tucks with their smaller engines were an issue…...
I can guess, the V8 is nice…..

$5k water pump on what and what engine?

Just putting this out there. I am looking for a 2000 to 2006 GMT800 K1500. No rust, extended or crew cab, short bed, 5.3 or 6.0 or even a 4.8. NO RUST and close to my area in Eugene, Oregon. Within a 200 mile area would be nice. Prefer low miles but 100k to 150k is good but above all else, except the NO RUST, I want to see repairs and maintenance records. No wrecks. Minor dings are ok.

I know I had the recent 2004 K2500HD perfect truck recently but was more truck than my girl could handle. If anyone knows of something, let me know. Thanks. Cash of course.

shoulda taken the cash and gotten another T800 - that 2019 is going to disappoint.

Sorry, should have said 5k in labor

Here is the video of the engine breakdown, water pump is tough to get to, good luck working on that one !

I recently did a PCV valve on a 2020 Corolla 2.0, non turbo. Had to remove the intake plenum for access. About a 2 to 2.5 hour job.

I meant the guy with the bent truck.
