1.2 - What's different in the 2001 and 2002 model year Tundras ?
According to the postings at www.tundrasolutions.com, the following changes
will be available for the 2001 model year Tundras:
New standard bed-rail caps for all Access Cabs
Tailgate Cap in the regular bed PU. Improves the truck's appearance and
protects the bed finish.
Painted rear bumper on 4x2 BASE models standard, so now all Tundras will have a
standard rear bumper.
V6 models are now built with upgraded alternators (from 70 AMP to 80AMP) and
all V6 Tundras will all have 50 State emissions.
There is also a new full color-keyed package available on the Limited models
(front grille surround, front bumper, lower valance, and rear bumper).
SR5's available with premium 3-in-one 6-disc in dash changer (like 2000 Limited
EJ codes).
OF (offroad package cars) can be ordered on a 2WD SR5 now. (This means that
there will be a PreRunner type package for the Tundras, just like the Tacomas.
Ed.)
Two new exterior colors available: silver sky metallic and desert sand metallic
(deleted are platinum metallic, golden sand, and autumn red mica).
MSRP increases an average of 1.7 - 2.0%.
Option pricing changes are minimal due to the introduction of "value packages"
for certain models.
"Destination Charge" on the MSRP is renamed: "Delivery, Processing, and
Handling Fee".
According to some 2001 Tundra owners, the rear seat also has additional padding
for a slightly improved seat angle.
The 2002 Tundra has some minor color changes, and the Limited Slip Differential
option (code LD) will be available for SR5's as a standard option without ABS.
Code LD can be combined with other options if you factory order it.
