How much was a Toyota Tundra in 2000?
In 2000, a new Toyota Tundra ranged roughly from about $16,000 for the base Regular Cab to around $28,000 for top‑spec 4x4 models with V8 and options.
The Toyota Tundra of 2000 marked the launch of a redesigned, more modern full‑size pickup in Toyota’s lineup, offering multiple cab configurations and trims. Prices varied by cab size (Regular Cab versus Xtracab), drivetrain (2WD vs. 4WD), and trim level (base, SR5, Limited), and regional dealer pricing or incentives could shift the final sticker price.
Price breakdown by configuration
Below are approximate U.S. MSRP ranges for the 2000 Tundra, reflecting typical sticker prices for the model year. Actual prices could differ by region and dealer.
- Regular Cab 2WD with the 4.0L V6: about $16,000–$17,500
- Xtracab (Extended Cab) 2WD or 4WD with the 4.0L V6: about $19,000–$23,000
- SR5 trim (mid/high option level): about $22,000–$25,000
- Limited or higher trims with 4x4 and optional V8: about $26,000–$28,000
Prices varied with options and regional incentives; the ranges above reflect typical sticker prices for the U.S. market in 2000, not the aftermarket values of used trucks today.
Inflation and buying context
When adjusted for inflation, those 2000 dollars would be meaningfully higher in today's money. Roughly speaking, the 2000 price points translate to several tens of thousands of dollars in current dollars, depending on the exact inflation measure used and the specific trim. This context helps explain how the Tundra positioned itself in the market at the turn of the millennium—near rivals in capability but with Toyota’s emphasis on reliability and resale value.
Summary
The 2000 Toyota Tundra offered a range of MSRPs from about $16,000 for base Regular Cab models up to around $28,000 for top‑tier 4x4 configurations. These figures reflect the model year’s standard pricing and did not include regional incentives or dealer add-ons. Inflation would push these amounts higher in today’s dollars, underscoring how the Tundra competed in the early 2000s market for full‑size pickups.
