2003 Toyota Tundra SR5

The Tundra is Toyota's full-size pickup for 2003, aimed at buyers who want a truck that's tough enough for work but comfortable enough for daily driving. It cruises smoothly on the highway and handles winter roads with confidence, though the turning radius is wide, so you'll want extra room when parking. The cab is roomy up front with plenty of headroom, and the extended cab offers seating for up to six, though the rear seat is tight for adults. Owners report the Tundra holds up well over the long haul, with only occasional issues like air conditioning repairs or recalls for frame rust and airbags. The SR5 is the volume trim, giving you the 4.7L V8 and four-wheel drive without the Limited's leather and premium audio, which keeps the price down. Its 4.7L V8 makes 240 horsepower and 315 lb-ft of torque, enough to pull a trailer confidently, though the four-speed automatic and four-wheel drive return 14 mpg combined. You can expect a firm ride when the bed is empty, which is the trade-off for the truck's payload and towing capability.
