New Taco Vs New Tundra

from Alex on Autos
Tacoma Limited gets full time 4wd.
This means the new 4Runner should also keep the Torsen diff. and full time 4wd.

 

yeah thats why i have a 14 limited. full time 4wd with torsen.

need it for work during the winter since i am on the road at 5am, usually before the highway plows are out.

 

The Tundra should have absolutely had the same Torsen transfer case as the LC300 as an option and standard on the TRD Pro.

 

If you are in the 5% of their study with your needs - it is what it is.
Reality out my way I can tell you (Lake Simcoe- Muskoka - Haliburton) there are a lot of boats this time of year through fall.
Mostly 18 - 20 ft bowriders and fishing boats - 3000 -5000lbs. Right in the sweet spot.
I see a fair number of people moving these in some cases 20 ft Bowriders between lakes in smaller vehicles like CRV's and RAV4's. Yeah.

What year is your Tundra ?
What I am thinking is if the Toyota engineering team that designed the new Tacoma were the ones that worked on the new Tundra.
I may probably be in one now. Outside of the shared Toyota parts like steering wheel - the different thought process between the two is pretty obvious.
The Tacoma even with all this new tech and features still looks like an evolution to me.
They did not want to mess anything up as it was the sales leader.

I really don't need this feature but C'mon Toyota - why does the luxury Platinum Tundra have one button to open the tail gate driver side. The Tacoma has buttons both sides and it is a power tail gate up and down.

I am assuming the TRD Pro guy is not for looks but capability. So the part time system is fine when offroading. I see the full time system more for the person that needs 4wd in a daily driver under changing conditions like winter highway. It should at least be standard on the luxury Tundra trims. jmo

 

I am pretty sure the new Crewmax Tundra back seats can't be designed to fold flat due to the clearance needed for the motor for the roll down rear window. Its the reason the DC Tundra doesn't have a roll down window. Why then does the DC Tundra not have fold down seats like the Tacoma. Does the new Tacoma have more in back now over the DC Tundra?

I have an 85 lb black lab. The back seat height has always been too high in the TRD version of my 2018 Tundra truck. He prefers one side of the floor. Its flat enough. I just toss his bed down there.

(fukking hate the tundra temp change switch)[/QUOTE]

Totally agree. That whole bunch of switches above the center console is a cluster. They are hard as hell to read in daylight.

What's
up by the switches by my left knee too? It's stoopid in my wifes Rav, stoopid in the Tundra.

 

Insane torque for a Taco. You can't put that much weight on the hitch.
