If You Drive in Snow. DONT BUY A TUNDRA

This is an epic New Member intro thread...

 

Bro... act quickly and you might still be able to get this Gen1 snow-eating monster for a mere $18k.



I have one just like it... if the Donner party had one they'd have made it across the Sierras no problemo.

 

Water?

 

the dynamics are completely different.



water is wetter.

 

WOW! Christmas came early. Thanks for the laugh! Happy holidays!

Nannies stopping you from driving = your tires suck or you aren't driving well given current conditions and your equipment
ABS coming on all the time = Your truck senses that you don't know about threshold braking or the friction available to your tires and it is trying to save your life and the lives of people in front of you

80% of drivers think they are in the top 10% of drivers on the road.

TL;DR: GET SOME BETTER TIRES AND TRY CHANGING SPEEDS AND DIRECTIONS LESS DRAMATICALLY WHEN IT IS SLICK.

fwiw my Tundra is phenomenal in the snow and ice. It hoons in beast mode, and with nannies engaged it grips and rips.

Blizzaks (or any snow tire honestly) FTW.

Troll

 

I suggest moving to Florida or even further south.

 

Have to admit, my 2018 is terrible as far as abs, traction control etc. Let me operate my damn truck, by myself!

My 2001 was pretty good, abs was too sensitive, but overall a thousand times better than my 2018.

Sorry everyone, I'm going to be "that guy" and agree that new trucks are terrible in the snow. There, I said it.

 

Op is not allowed in my state.

 

NO! Go to AZ.

 

Antarctica, OP will love it there

 

North Idaho here plenty of snow and ice also always up in the high country never have any issues with traction. The safety features can be disabled pretty easily. Maybe you need some better tires perhaps.

 

I have absolutely no issues with driving my tundra in the snow. Some good donuts do sound fun though.

 

Have a 2021 tundra. Have driven it multiple times in snow. Thought it was as good as any other pickup I’ve owned and driven in snow. Dunno?

 

Maybe Toyota can program that function into their key FOB and not tell us, then have ATT charge us for it.....

 

Only read the title of the post. That's all I need. I will be selling my tundra and buying a F150. Thanks

 

plus its more dynamic. when its warm we're dealing with thermo-dynamics and then its anyone's guess what happens next

 

Or, to use a term I heard in a commercial, the thermal-kinetic energy.

 

Pretty sure steam comes next.

 

Joins a tundra enthusiast site, says "don't buy a tundra".

Edit: Couldn't help but read all 5 pages Jim Farley or Mary Barra, show yourselves!

 

This is the dumbest post I have seen. Congratulations Bmfsonn, we are all dumber for having seen this.

 

i think that's toyota's way of telling us the 3.5 gen is going to fly! no more winter road concerns for OP! finally we've gone full circle

 

Join a F-150 Forum and just mention a Tundra like I did once. I read through all 5 pages of this thread and my elementary school aged Grandchildren could've been right beside me. Not one profanity/vulgarity aimed at F-150 owner's from this bunch! Forest didn't say this, I did; "Class Is, As Class Does"

 

You're right. Sense of pride in our trucks and their owners. How did it go on the F-150 forum?

 

Unfortunately, it wasn't a truck commercial.

 

We don't get much snow, but my 2005 and 2014 2WD tundras did fine in it..

 

Dumber? For some of us, that's a pretty tall order!

Ha! I got called names, I had to look up the definitions for!
