Anonymous, CA (2002 Toyota Tundra)"Handling and ride comfort is not as good as used to be, but it still has original struts. Boots torn on CV joints, expensive to repair"
Bernard L., VA (2002 Toyota Tundra)"Smooth, quick acceleration. Great to drive. The steering wheel has a little free play, not bad. Also a little annoying is that the steering wheel is not centered exactly when driving straight forward. This doesn't affect steering, just annoying."

RICHARD L., CA (2002 Toyota Tundra)"It feels great, like a large, wide footprint, very stable and confident. The V-8 performs really well."

BRUCE G., LA (2002 Toyota Tundra)"best truck on the road"
LOUIS M., GA (2002 Toyota Tundra)"Acceleration and handling are very good and the motor still runs like new after 230000 miles."
Anonymous, WA (2002 Toyota Tundra)"Transmission seems a little herky/jerky on accelerations.Sometimes does not shift gears smoothly."
CHARLES C., TX (2002 Toyota Tundra)"Acceleration is good, it is a pickup truck so I don't race anyone. The handling is fair with too much body roll and vague steering. The truck is sprung too softly so it does feel soft and wobbly. Brakes are too touchy at slow speed with no feel."
PETER L., TX (2002 Toyota Tundra)
"This truck drive and handles well, the brakes work too good in that it stops well but does not release after a hard stop. is the only negative point I have in its handling performance."
Richard D., AL (2002 Toyota Tundra)
