New to Tundra coming from F150

Had multiple brands of trucks over the years Chevy, Ram with my last being a 2010 F150 King Ranch.All those trucks served me well towing boats, trailers loaded with firewood & moving many a family & friends. Maintenance on those trucks was something I always took on myself in order to keep an eye on issues which may arise. Somethings I would do to improve performance and reliability such as the King Ranch had a 5.4 with Gibson headers and flowmaster dual exhaust, Powerstop rotors and calipers all around to name a few.

After much research and thought I was looking to buy a truck that was reliable and capable of towing the load without going up in weight class. I'm not a fan of the new turbos so that eliminated a number of options.Tundra 5.7 kept surfacing as a reliable and powerful choice. Now I know theres diehard Ford,Chevy, Ram etc people out there and thats fine but I based my decision on research and facts which I gathered. So I went with a 2019 Tundra Crewmax 1794 in Smoked Mesquite (coming from King Ranch didn't want to give up on leather). Have had the truck for 4 months and i'm quite happy with my decision. Although most of my driving is on paved surfaces ever so often I get on bad boat ramps, dirt & muddy back roads and plans to upgrade tires to BFG's for better traction when needed. I hear alot of chatter about sway bars i'm improving roll on these trucks and was looking for good info on this matter. Appreciate you adding me and look forward to exploring options and views! Thanks!!!

 

Welcome from NY.

 

Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)! The rear sway bar is a MUST except for rock climbers. Stability is significantly improved in turns at highway speeds.

 

Welcome from Texas! Great choice on truck and color!

 

You may want to consider the RoadMaster Active Suspension for you application. Here's a link to one member's experience w/it on his build. If you search the suspension threads or just search 'roadmaster' in the search bar, you should get quite a bit of info on the set up and benefits of it.

Roadmaster Active Suspension

The set ups are available in either 'standard duty' or 'heavy duty'...

Regarding sway bars, yes they will help w/body roll and stability for on road driving; unless someone removed it, you should have front and rear sway bars on your truck already. They can be upgraded to the TRD sway bars for increased stabilization, but I'd spend the money elsewhere in search of improvements.

As far as Swaybars go, you can buy the pretty little red TRD bar or Hellwig's full sized and adjustable for lift model. Compare them.
