TOYOTA Read this. Improvements needed on Tundra

Maybe because they're not comparable. lol

 

I knew I forgot to add something to that post with the comparison chart. "I 1UPPER cannot verify the accuracy of this comparison chart. I cannot be held accountable for members spending their own time analyzing the far superior Tundra to lesser quality trucks."

Thanks Chris! I forgot to post a disclaimer on that one. Lol

 

They need to upgrade interior, sleekness to dash exct... the other big 3 are killin it.. way behind IMO.

 

If you backtrack to one of my post you'll see where I was able to post the link to the 6.2.

Confirmed.

It's now a cartridge filter under the engine, and you have to remove a skid plate to get to it. Oil changes take twice as long now.

 

Those rakes drive me nuts!

 

Thank God there's no diesel!

 

I can confirm this

 

Explain full floater, Chris. This is a new term for me

 

3/4 ton would be great....I'd prolly call it a 1 ton.....

 

i have yet to hear someone complain about the pleated leather dash and seats in my platinum not being sleek enough for them. seems like half of these complaints are people venting how they should have bought a higher trim package.

 

If you've never owned a diesel you'll never understand. Diesels are; more fuel efficient, have greater durability, more torque which comes on very low in the rpm range, easily modified for huge power and torque gains...

 

It's Apple's and Oranges. It's just like our Yeti thread. It's what you need it for. Makes no sense whatsoever to put a diesel in a 1/2 ton truck, especially if it's your daily driver and your not doing any heavy towing

 

I guess I'm comparing to stock Chevy and sr5. Cause is a big difference in what the Chevy has stock compared to Toyota..

 

Don't forget the extra $20,000, DEF, 15 quart oil changes, extra 1,000 lbs of weight...

 

Perhaps you're exaggerating a touch?? The oil change is more expensive but the frequency of change is double that of the Tundra. I'd anticipate roughly 25 mpg vs 14 in the Tundra with gas. Here in my home state I could and would delete the DEF and tune the engine easily gaining 200 hp in the process. The current 5.7 makes what (381/400 ft/lb). The Cummins in stock form makes 385/900 ft/lb. Delete, tune, add a $500 exhaust and your sitting on 600hp and 1200-1300 ft/lb of torque while still easily getting well over 20mpg. Pull a 9000 pound trailer through the mountains in the Tundra you'll get well under 6 mpg and have to run the 5.7 at 3500-4500 rpm to keep the load up to speed. In the Cummins you pull the load easily at speed limit and still get over 14 mpg. Trust me because I just came out of a Cummins. I have owned 4 Tundras including one supercharged.

 

I don't have a diesel but the new ones aren't strong 20mph and over.. no way

 

What's that supposed to mean (not strong 20 mph and over)? Mine was an absolute beast in the bottom and top. It had a 12 second 1/4 mile and weighed 9000+ pounds. Those little tires are 37's.

 

That was a typo about strong.. it's crazy to think they are getting over 20mph. If they are that's awesome on a truck like that.. I find it hard to believe that tho.. doesn't mean it's not true

 

You do know the new diesels don't use glow plugs anymore. The front end problem was fixed in 2014. If you get rid of the emissions crap you don't even have to worry about the DEF and regeneration issues. I know of many daily drivers running around with 200,000+ miles.

 

So wait, a diesel isn't a good daily driver?? Just asking for knowledge purpose...

 

TJ, care to answer. Hahaha
