35s and its hating life.

Is your truck lifted or leveled?

 

Nope, all stock.

 

It depends on what you want. I suggested another owner refrain from a big lift and tires and people went crazy. Was told to get over myself, blah blah blah. So in an effort to not hurt anyone's feelings (the SF bay area resident knows who he is) I'll leave it as vanilla as possible. You as an owner CAN'T BEAT PHYSICS. Build away... It will likely hold up. Gears help alot but you'll still notice some power loss and lack of 6th gear. A supercharger (7k+) and gears (2k) would be optimal.. Oh and maybe heavy duty ball joints, and odds and ends for angles corrections, speedo corrections, etc

I'd refrain from big tires if you tow. Aside from that.. It will look very nice, and tough, and will make a cool sound as the mud terrain tires hum.

Enjoy your mini monster truck.

 

Can you post a pic? I'm curious what you did to fit 35's on a stock truck.

 

I though toyota reconfigured the gas pedal response from the 2 gen to the 3rd gen.

I havent driven a third gen but from what I've read compared to how my second gen performs it seems possible. Or along the lines of something of that nature.

In my 2nd gen, from a full stop, its extremely easy to chirp the wheels. It also will kinda make your foot bounce slightly on the pedal resulting with you looking like a 16 year old learning to drive a stick. So possibly a reason for toyota to have dialed down the responce of the 3rd gen trucks.

Turning tow/haul on does make a noticable difference but it doesnt seem as drastic as ive read it does for the 3gen.

Thats just my guess though.

 

I just put 35's on my 2019 and the truck feels about the same as it did before I put them on. Granted this is our first Tundra and only 1500 miles on it. The only thing I noticed was it feels a little bit more linear/smooth taking off from a stop vs the stock tires. Butt gauge says I don't notice any loss of power. I haven't shut any of the safety nannies off either.

 

You're going to be disappointed, cuz it's pretty anticlimactic. All I did was go to Discount Tire and have them mount the tires on the truck. See my post on it for pics. I haven't cut, trimmed, or modified my truck in any way to fit them.

This is exactly the thing I was talking about experiencing prior to putting on larger tires. Now I can go without it looking like it's my first time every time.

 

I built big Jeeps for years. Gears help. You not noticing anything likely means you never "used" available torque and HP in town, only to "burden" the truck with heavier rotational weight and continue with your previous driving style and terrain.

Had you climbed a grade or drag raced and THEN made the switch, your "butt dyno" may have felt differently.
We all build our trucks and use them differently. The big tow guys aren't rocking 37s. Equally, they aren't hitting Moab, Tellico or Rubicon.

Ideally, and it's purely opinion, the Tundra shines as a tow vehicle and long distance family truck. A Hilux or Taco would really be awesome with a 4/1 Atlas, 5.29s, 37s, and an improved suspension and axle assembly. Even then though it would suck to drive on the street.

I'm sure the fab guys and motor heads could really work themselves up into a lather building a super Taco nater..

 

I don’t like my 33’s. Rides too rough for me. Looks great though
