Just wanted to say thanks

Well unfortunately I sold my Tundra and I hope who ever buys it knows it is a great truck. I needed to upgrade my towing needs and went with a 2025 Chevy 2500. The towing difference is insane. I wished Toyota will get with it and build an HD truck. I just wanted to say thanks to all here who influenced and helped me with several upgrades, It was fun and costly. The Chevy came with just about every upgrade I put on the damn thing. They must finally be listening to truck owners. Well just wanted to say thanks.

 

Congrats on the new truck. I see a few 2500HD At4s driving around and they look very nice. Hopefully you got the diesel, bypassing the 6.2L lifter issues

You don't have to leave btw, few others like you who still stick around - https://www.tundras.com/threads/3-4-ton-truck.69149/

 

Enjoy the truck! Good choice for towing. As mentioned before you don’t have to leave.

 

Congrats on the new truck! Hope you decide to stick around. Also...

 

Enjoy! I just picked up a 2500HD Sierra AT4. As you said, it’s built to tow and it was like someone who uses a truck as a truck designed it. 36 gallon fuel tank, Eaton, oil and trans coolers, old school gas 6.6 with no AFM, etc etc etc. It’s a well thought out truck. Only really drawbacks so far for me are the size and turning radius of a HD, but those are realities. And paid about the same as I would have for a platinum hybrid ($73K). I’m getting 15.7 MPG so far, just coming up on 700 miles but no real trailer pulling yet.

 

Thanks all. I'm not leaving, still poking in. My son has a Toyota 4runner, well his third now and we like to do stuff to that too. Just put a 3" Bilstein 6112 and 5100 setup in it. I didn't get the diesel since I don't drive it a lot. It has a 6.6 L gas and I'm getting about 16.5 so far. The longer the drive the better the mileage. My daily commutes are about 45 mins one way so I have a commuter vehicle. I now tow about 9000 and the Tundra didn't do as well as I thought it would have and I didn't want to ruin it, repair it or not be safe. I love the Tundra and had 2 of them for years. But towing it with the HD is a huge difference, but the turning radius is horrible. I feel like I make a 3 point U-turn, embarrassing. I just crossed 1100 miles so far. The ride is much stiffer but its much quieter inside and the technology is insane. I'm a simple man but I love the cameras and the multi flex tailgate.


Thanks for the 3/4 ton link 1UP.

 

Put 400 or so pounds of tube sand in the very front of the bed… between the front and rear axles… it settles the ride down a lot… huge difference.

 

Congrats on the upgrade! As mentioned earlier... pics??
