The 2000 Tundra found an audience with truckers due to its versatility when it came to cab styles and powertrain choices. Initially, the truck provided a couple of bed lengths and two cab styles. The regular-cab version featured a long bed while the extended-cab version (Access Cab) had a short bed. The extended cab had rearward-opening back doors for easier rear-seat access.

Unlike the T100 which came with unremarkable I-4 and V-6 engines, the Tundra carried a more robust V-6 standard and an exciting optional V-8 mill. The truck was available in three flavors: the base Tundra, the mid-level SR5, and the top-of-the-range Limited. The entry-level model came in two-wheel-drive regular cabs exclusively.

A 3.4-liter V6 engine worth 190 horsepower and 220 lb-ft of torque drove all regular-cab versions. The engine paired with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed auto transmission. An available smooth-revving 4.7-liter V8 engine churning out 245 hp and 315 lb-ft of torque linked to a four-speed automatic transmission exclusively.

The 2006 Tundra was known for a roomy cabin, easy maneuverability, and a smoother, more powerful V-8. Most drivers looking for a used Toyota Tundra for sale in Pueblo Colorado are usually amazed by the 2006 model's refined nature.

Then entered the second-generation Toyota Tundra for the 2007 model year with more configuration and powertrain options. Apart from the existing cab options, the 2007-model Tundra availed three bed lengths and three wheelbases. It was bigger and more capable than its predecessors and equaled, even surpassed, the other full-sized offerings.

The second-generation Tundra sought motivation from not one, but two V-8 engines. The first being the previous generation's 282-hp 4.7-liter and the second a new 5.7-liter unit with 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque. Tow rating rose to 10,400 pounds on fully-loaded versions. A 4.0-liter V6 unit cranking out 236 hp initially and 270 hp from 2011 was the standard engine.
