2022 Tundra

True, All I’ve been getting is what’s been said that Ford is the best except when it’s not better than Gm which is best except when it’s not better than Ram which is best except when it’s not. I think Toyota is mentioned in there somewhere as well.

 

And nobody ever mentions the Nissan Titan.

 

Now you’ve done it

 

Oh geezus here we go LOL

 

Be careful ... the forum's chief asshat will call YOU an asshat if you diss Nissan at all.

 

Oh sorry... Is the Titan best or not when Ford, GM, or Ram is better? Oh yea, Toyota too.

 

Overweight. But then again, so are thousands of other Tundras.

 

So are most Tundra owners.

 

It’s a vicious cycle.

 

A constant battle

 

And why the Drivers side grab handle is such a 'thing'

 

I'm not overweight. But I only haul mulch and groceries, so.....

 

Is this why we are so concerned with payload? Because we are all fat asses?

 

Tundra owner is overweight.
This makes the truck overweight.
Tundra owner gets depressed that his truck is overweight, turns to food for comfort.
And the cycle continues…

 

That’s why brakes are getting warp, tires can’t be balanced and always over GDW

 

My Tundra is weak
It just won't haul my fat ass
And the grille's ugly

When I hear owners of the current Tundra complain about the upcoming Tundra, I read their posts as if “Grumpy Old Man” from Saturday Night Live were narrating them.

Dude, I understand your sentiment, we all do, and you are certainly entitled to your opinion. But holy shit, get a different thought in your head for your own well being.

 

My own well being? Shit, I almost piss myself laughing imagining “Grumpy Old Man” narrating the posts. I find it cathartic.

 

That sketch is the ultimate in irony. Every snl fan is not grumpy old man remembering when snl used to be funny and have actual talent on set

 

I haven’t watched SNL in over a decade now. The job of a railroad engineer is like poaching and burglary: night time is the right time. I find myself working a lot of weekends, especially once it’s dark outside.

I have heard SNL isn’t what it used to be.

 

Interesting they skirted the payload issue.

 

Remember a half ton truck's capacity is also constrained by it's tires.
Ford made a genius move to make their trucks significantly lighter, because that lightness went right to the vehicle capacity.

Look at the tires used on heavy duty trucks, do you really think a truck manufacturer wants those big, heavy tires on their half tons? Mpgs would suffer. There's probably a bunch of other legal or classification issues that may make uprating a "half ton" not possible.

Supposedly Toyota cut some serious weight from the LC300, if the Tundra has similar weight savings, it'll go directly to the truck's capacity.

 

Half ton trucks can be up to 8500 lbs (Class 2a) GVWR. Most are in the 7-8000 lb range, so there's room to get more there. And tires in the 32" size range usually are rated at ~2700 lbs each, so that would be over 10000 lbs the tires can handle.

 

I hear you. Actually, most 1/2 tons get SL tires which are about 2300 capacity each. So, 9200+ total. However, I don't think any engineer will design a vehicle at 100% limits. Also, if each tire is 2300 pounds, that means at any given point in the load, there should not be more than that on each tire. So, the rear tires are 4600 pounds, figure in truck weight over rear wheels, load in bed and tongue weight. Not maxing out the rating can help make the tire a little bit safer when driven on low PSI. Forces changing whilst driving. I'm just guessing, to be honest. I didn't stay in a Holiday Inn recently.

It probably is even more about vehicle regulations for GVWR and classifications.
