2003 Toyota Tundra reviews and buying guide.

2003 Toyota Tundra resources:

2003 Toyota Tundra

The 2003 Toyota Tundra is this company's entry to the full-size pick-up segment. 2003 has seen the arrival of a sporty-looking flared-fender StepSide Access Cab model, freshened front styling and upgraded trim. However, this is just one example of the Tundra pickup line, which is available in 15 configurations comprising two cab styles (Regular and Access Cab), two engines (3.4-liter V6 and 4.7-liter i-Force V8), 2x4 and 4x4, two bed lengths (98-inches for regular and 75-inches for Access Cab models).

One thing is consistent through all three model grades (Base, SR5 and Limited) and that is Toyota's reputation for rugged quality and reliability. The 4x4 models are available only as SR5 and Limited grades.

Under the Hood

The SR5 V8 and the Limited models are powered by a 4.7-liter i-Force V8, which produces 240 hp and 315 lbs.-ft of torque. The i-Force V8 runs on regular-grade gasoline and is ULEV-certified (ultra-low emission vehicle). It is equipped with Toyota Direct Ignition and sequential fuel injection and rewards the driver and occupants with quick response and super-low NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) characteristics.

The Base and SR5 V6 models share a 3.4-liter DOHC V6 engine that produces 190 hp and 220 lb.-ft. of peak torque. The V6 engine comes with a five-speed manual transmission but a smooth-shifting, four-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission is optional (standard with the V8).

Performance specifications are very impressive with this big pick-up, especially with the standard equipped new Towing Package that includes a Class IV tow hitch, a seven-pin connector with converter, a 130-amp alternator, and a supplemental transmission oil cooler. The Tundra offers up to a 1,875-pound payload capacity (V8 2WD Access Cab SR5) and up to 7,200-pound towing capacity (V8 4x4 regular cab).

Standard Features, Options Packages and Style

Exterior and interior styling refinements distinguish the 2003 Tundra with a tougher look up front featuring a new, larger grill that extends into the upper section of the bumper. Interior amenities range from the businesslike selection of standard features at the Base level right up through the SR5 and luxurious Limited trim levels. Base models come equipped with cloth upholstery on bench seating and an AM/FM/CD player, among other basics. SR5 models add air conditioning, cruise control, and on the Access Cab, rear-hinged rear doors and a split folding rear seat. The top-line Limited models add convenience details such as the new steering wheel audio controls switch that accompanies the 6CD changer and a new power sliding rear window.

Options and major options packages allow Tundra buyers to detail their new truck to their specific needs or desires with items like the Leather Upholstery Package, Weather Package or Off-road package.
