Full-size Pickup Truck · what it costs new, what it’s worth used, and who has one near you.
The 2003 Toyota Tundra is a full-size pickup truck we track across the used market in Canada. It comes in gas (16.6 L/100 km) and hybrid (11.7 L/100 km) forms, so the main choice is fuel — the hybrid earns its premium back over enough kilometres. A 25-year-old one keeps roughly 5% of a current model's market price — what actually matters over five years of ownership.

This is to address a safety defect in the passenger side frontal air bag inflator which may produce excessive internal pressure causing the inflator to rupture upon deployment of the air bag. This recall addresses both the passenger side frontal air bags that were originally installed in the vehicles, as well as replacement air bags that may have been installed as replacement service parts. A replacement air bag may have been installed, as one example, if a vehicle had been in a crash necessitating the replacement of the passenger side frontal air bag.
