2000-2006 Toyota Tundra: Year-to-Year Changes

2001 Toyota Tundra: An Off-Road Package with raised suspension, special tires and shock absorbers, and fender flares became optional for 2001. A new Appearance package included color-keyed bumpers.

2002 Toyota Tundra: Toyota's top-line Limited model gained a standard in-dash CD changer, antilock braking, and keyless remote entry this year. Tundra V8 trucks could now get an optional limited-slip rear differential.

2003 Toyota Tundra: New for '03 was a V8 Access Cab with a flared-fender StepSide cargo box. Antilock brakes became standard equipment. All got a restyled grille, bumpers of plasticlike resin instead of steel, and a revised center console. New options included heated door mirrors and a tow package for V8 models. New for 2WD SR5s was a Sport Package with special suspension and 17-inch wheels. Limiteds gained as standard a power horizontal-sliding rear window, and 17-inch wheels vs. 16s. Finally, Tundra's off-road package dropped the TRD designation.

2004 Toyota Tundra: Toyota adds a crew-cab model to the Tundra in 2004. The Double Cab has four side doors, a power-down rear window, and a 12.2-inch longer wheelbase than other Tundra models. Standard are the 4.7-liter V8 and 4-speed automatic transmission available in other Tundras. Exclusive to the Double Cab are standard antiskid/traction control, limited-slip differential, running boards, optional sunroof, and rear DVD entertainment.

2005 Toyota Tundra: More power, new transmissions, and available curtain side airbags highlight 2005 additions to this American-built large pickup truck. They also gain an available 3-passenger front bench seat for '05, so all Access Cabs and Double Cabs now offer front bucket seats or a bench. For '05, the V6 is a 245-hp 4.0-liter, replacing a 190-hp 3.4. It comes with a 6-speed manual transmission, which replaces a 5-speed; or a 5-speed automatic, which replaces a 4-speed. The V8 is again a 4.7-liter, but it gains 42 hp for 282. An antiskid system is among new 2005 options for all Tundras. Regular cabs come in base and new-for-'05 Work models. Other Tundras offer SR5 and Limited trim and are newly available with a navigation system.

2006 Toyota Tundra: No significant changes for the Tundra in 2006.
