Toyota dropped the ball on the tundra

Welcome to the forum! From one driver to another.

 

Tacoma world cant run with the big dawg!

 

@Pinay I only stuck around the 2nd gen while I was in there. But definitely a friday thread no matter what!

@GNTundra

 

Try being a moderator in both sites! Entertaining to say the least!

 

Just need bigger guns!

 

Don't know how you do it.

OP, in all seriousness, stick around. This thread will die and everyone will move on. This a great bunch and tons of knowledge to go both ways here!

 

1794 have great seats. And the leather interior and color just shows it's not for the ordinary truck owner. Did you know, that the rear seat does recline a little. The infotainment have more bells and whistles that the any SR5 model. Oh, and the depth of the truck bed, it's so deep. At night you can star gaze with that giant moon roof! During the spring, summer and fall you can open the sunroof, all the windows, and........ wait for it......... the rear window rolls down. It'd almost driving a covetable truck! How cool is that!

OP, you have a cool truck, you just don't know it yet.

I hope this helps.

 

@Professional driver Yeah, stick around. Most folks are good natured, including me. Even T-Rex is okay. Likes to joke around. He didn't mean nothin' mean.

Oh wait.... maybe....uh...

 

Hold up...do all the rear seats recline some or is this just a 1794 thing?

 

Oops, 2nd gen only. Sshhhh...... 1794 is stil a a cool truck!

 

But, you might be able to retrofit the hardware to the 2020.

 

Eh. Since i'm not ever sitting back there, I'll forget about it lol

 

T Rex's have scales, not hair.

 

Clearly this @T-Rex266 has no hair

 

Agreed but probably best to start in the introduction section with a “hello” and then move forward with some opinion sharing. Just my .02

 

Don’t bring me into this shit.

 

Always with your crap Ron.

 

Other than the seats, what are your other complaints? My Limited seats are pretty hard. Or could that be my chiseled butt cheeks that aren’t giving?

 

@T-Rex266 I think maybe Virginia Slims, the 100s, didnt they make 110s too? Either way I can't quite make out the brand shes smokes. But I can say with confidence the spray is Aquanet

 

I don’t drive as many miles as you in blacktop, but I put about 30-35k a year on gravel and off road environments. I’ve driven all of the big 3, multiple times.

I am religious about PM, and I’ve had a number of mechanical issues , some quite expensive and far sooner than they should have happened, including an engine rebuild on a Ford F-150 at 65k. In addition, I personally find the Tundra seats very comfortable relative to the others. Personal opinion I guess.

As far as sound systems, I guess my ear is not that sophisticated. I’ve never had one I thought was inadequate, although some have had much better functionality with phone compatibility.

I’m currently driving a Silverado with 37k on the clock. It’s had a fuel pump replaced, a brake caliper replaced, and goes in Saturday for a brake booster pump that Chevy won’t cover under warranty even though it was discovered 52 miles past warranty expiration.

 

I read something the other day that everything we thought about dinosaurs may be wrong. It's likely they were covered with brightly colored feather, think a parrots feathers. And instead of roaring they probably chirped and screeched. Friday fact (well an scientific guess)

 

T does like wearing feather outfits....

 

For all we know they barked like Chihuahuas

 

I love the fact the OP keeps checking back in

 

And feathering his hair like the OP........oh wait

 

First, one of the first page responses was about land cruisers...thank you. I had built up 2000 hundy that I sold to get my Tundra. An '84 FJ60 before that. And two Tacos.

Now, with the Tundra. Too bad it did not meet your expectations. I reviewed all of the full size trucks I was considering. Tundra was tops in reliability and resale value. That's all I cared about. I went into knowing interior was stale (nicer than my land cruisers so it was an upgrade for me...) and MPG sucked ass (still better than my LC!!!). I would say it is definitely not the truck's fault.

 

Expounding on what you feel they dropped the ball on would be good. Otherwise, I've been an American car guy forever, and threw in the towel. AAAALLL my friends with whatever new truck seems like shop time is a normal thing. They say if you can afford the truck you can afford the price, but many seem to be in the shop half it's life - F6ck that! All my friends with Yotas, only change oil and breaks and drop 300k miles on them. in the Navy, I had a 76 Corolla with 450k miles on it in Sicily. I rattle canned a new paint job on it and sold to the next guy on the duty station. It was a great $400 dollar car.
