WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO YOUR 3RD GEN TUNDRA TODAY?

Going to trade her for a 23 Silverado LTZ Z71 3500 Duramax. Looking to get better mileage with the HD Found a nice lightly used one with all the bells and whistles and no recalls (fingers crossed)! Chevy dealer gave us $16k more than Toyota was offering and in the end our Toyota dealership didn't want our Tundra back regardless. We figured that the Chevy experience can't be any worse than our Toyota experience.

We use the truck for mostly towing and the Tundra had about 1,390 lbs before I added a bunch of stuff. Not really an issue with the HD. The diesel will take a bit to get used to and it is a tad bit noisier than the 3.5TT. The HD and the Tundra are pretty close in size but the HD has a bit more front windshield for better visibility. It has the 360 cameras as well so parking it will be similar!

 

Installed the Beat Sonic alpha encore mini-AMP today in my
24 Limited w/ JBL.

Not sure I'd say it's life changing, but it does create better separation so it's not quite so muddy and the bass definitely has less distortion. I felt like I had to turn up the stock JBL quite a bit to hear finer details and now those details come in at lower dB.

Does it have a slot inside the truck to insert the card?

 

No it works like the regular keyfob, but no buttons, hands free keepnit in your pocket or wallet and just drive away

it does have a key that slides into the card in case you need

 

I’m guessing just needed to be programmed to the truck?
How thick is it?

 

it's about 3 credit card thick, and yes it needs to be programmed to the truck

 

Hey @mfa1981,

Lighting package is looking bright! Have you been able to take the rig out on any trails yet with the new setup?

Best,

how much is the key and programming?

 

key costed me $199 (both the credit car fob + slide in key), $150 to program using a 3rd party car locksmith. Dealer I've heard is ~$185 - $200 programming. Mine told me it would cost $200

 

Truck looks great, love the stance and color!

I have 5-SCS Blaze10 17x8.5 in +20 offset wheels. I’m looking to do 5 wheel/tire rotations. Trying to decide on tire size, thinking 285/70R17,
305/70R17 because I know they will fit in the spare tire location no problem. Possibly 315/70R17 if I know they won’t be a problem with 5 tire rotations. Search comes up with conflicting results.

Do you have a 35’ as a spare?

 

Pics?

 

Not familiar with the package(s) you referred to, but then I’m in the SE US and certainly never deal with those cold temps you do. Alberta & BC have to have the most beautiful landscapes in North America!

 

I expect to take delivery of my ‘25 Tundra in about a month and that seems to be a good “bang for the buck” upgrade. Also, appears to be relatively easy to do.

 

put on the rotopax gas container from their previous sale, came in time before camping the other weekend

 

Anyone want to trade their red NYTOP front recovery points for their black ones? If not I'm thinking of painting my black ones blue.

 

Just bought 2024 platinum off road model, found a set of TRD Pro wheels and powder coated them all black again since they had some scratches. Tires are 285/75r18 roughly a 35” tire.

 

not rocking a matching spare at the moment hoping to get something at least close soon

 

Super easy, but unless you are very small with smaller hands I wouldn't attempt to do it from the top. It takes very little time to pull the head unit out, just follow the directions and take it slow so you don't break any clips. I'm bull/china shop with these kinds of things normally and I didn't break anything FWIW.

I'll say that after having this in all week, the difference it makes is pretty substantial. No, it doesn't make your $500 JBL compete with a system that cost thousands, but it makes a remarkable difference in clarity and separation. Way less muddy, bass tones are also way clearer. For me it's great that I can listen at lower dB and still hear the rich details. Stock JBL, I had to crank it LOUD to hear anything subtle in the music - no more.

 

You giving away the rest lol

 

Took some strategy to slide the brake pedal cover, but wasn't too bad

 

Whats your 0-60 now?

 

A lot faster now, I can now get that Mall parking spot a lot quicker than before
