The trap speed is way too low for a quarter mile in the 8's, so yeah, 1/8 mile

 

That's what I was thinking.

 

just because you bought a Chevy truck, doesn't mean you have to say good bye to AZ... most, or I should say ... a lot of people here have gone on to other brands, but yet... stuck around

 

there is no way that was 1/4mile number.

 

Congrats on the truck, seems like it was moved from the TL forums to Car Talk, because we all know the TL forum folks are so open-minded....

wow, that was a :ghey: response.... insecure much? oh wait, you share fleshlights with other dudes

 

Yea 5.slows truck was in the 1/8 mile, its wierd owning anything besides a honda or acura, ive owned 2 accords and a tl, and i am a honda tech. I know nothing about this truck but im sure i will catch on, im sure its already faster than my tl and HP is cheap! I love this truck so far.

 

Same reason people take econo cars or family sedans and try and make them into something else they are not. I mean why does anyone modify anything?

D

 

That wasn't him that guy got banned, fleshy used to be timmahhh but his name got changed after admitting to owning one. However the cock size response is just stupid people drive all kinds of different vehicles for different reasons.

 

If I ever buy something like a viper, my plates are going to say COMPNS8.
People who think those who buy fast cars do it to make up for something are retarded.

 

That's a little exagerated don't ya think?

Care to explain why it's "junk"? I daily drive my Tundra and the 5.7 iForce motor is very potent in my opinion. It easily pulles anything and everything I hook onto. As long as it fits our needs, I seriously don't see why one would call a very potent contender, junk.

 

Moving up in life I see...

 

Well I must admit it's heresy as I haven't driven one myself but I was speaking with an owner at the boat slip and he was saying while towing his 26ft cuddy he was getting like 8-10mpg while we were pulling a boat the same size in a 95 chevy with a 5.7 and were averaging 14mpg, this seems to be a common complaint.

Tailgate failures.
Torque converter issues
Bed bounce seems to be a common complaint but is apparently cleared up with a TRD rear sway bar.
Gauges very difficult to read in sunlight
Camshafts (rectified AFAIK)
Toyota Shimmy (vehicle shimmys at speed after multiple alignments and tire balances, seems pretty common on the forums)
Springs can't take payload capacity (if you actually haul above 5000lbs airbags seems to be a necessity)
Paint is well japanese soft and easy to scratch
no optional gear ratios
no locker
sheet metal is too thin

These are all complaints I have picked up off the forums, a lot of this stuff you might not be able to detect during a test drive so I think it's pretty important to listen to the owners. I think the NEXT Tundra will be a one hell of a machine though, the current one is good don't get me wrong but there's some room to grow. Hey it's still better than a Dodge.

 

diesel trucks have a special place in my heart, especially cuz they are bigger n faster AND cheaper to add HP to than my tl

 

I agree on almost all points with you. As for reliability, it's a hit or miss I guess. The only thing I've changed on that whole list on mine was the TRD bar that I installed because of the so called bed bounce. Yes, it is better than a Dodge for sure and by far.

 

I test drove a 5.7 Tundra with my brother when he was looking for a truck. That thing hauls ass! And its really imposing in person and while driving it. It was definitely the "nicest" truck I've driven. I don't like the looks all that much, but I don't like the way the new GM or Ford trucks look either. I actually like the new Ram looks-wise but I still don't have any use for a truck so

I still like the previous gen F-250s. And as far as modding a turbodiesel truck.... its more amusing, and not to mention embarrassing to watch a huge ass lifted truck burn a Corvette or a Ferrari in the 1/4 than anything else.

 

lol, supposed to give your mama the TL BOY!!!

 

plus when u blow that black smoke on em too with that diesel

 

This is my truck now i put some 20inch wheels and did some other stuff big difference...

 

that thing will pass anything but a gas station

 

whats with all the hating on the dodge pickups? i haven't heard anything bad about them other than their transmissions crapping out. The trans issue is an easy one to solve, put a allison into it, that truck would go forever. I would personally only purchase one of 2 diesels, any gm with the duramax and allison combo, or a dodge 3500ram with a short box and of course the swapped in allison

 

but i seriously love that shit. i wouldnt buy it, but i love racing em. there is one guy with a blacked out one over here and he always blows black smoke and sut on my car when he sees me

 

Lovin' the new look, and the blacked out bowtie, are you on FSC now?

 

Looks nice, how'd you get the black bowtie?

 

Most people just mask it, and rattle can it AFAIK.

 

Do you drive at night without the xenons?

 

My neighbor has a Chevy truck and he just got a black piece of vinyl and voila... black bowtie...

 

wow...what a gas waster....

 

i sold my acura for a truck... Nothing like driving a truck and commanding the road, although im dropped now .....

v8>v6.... power>economic issues.... fuggit u only live once......

btw how much did you pay?

 

wanna get sad? look at the KBB on your brand new truck now that its off the lot

 

... diesels get great gas mileage .................

wanna talk about gas waster? look down

 

I saw a loaded to the nines Sierra CCSB with 4,000km on it for 33K. Keep in mind shits more expensive in Canada,but that truck retails at 54 here +13% tax. 4,000km is like 5 tanks of gas so it's not even broken in yet and it's a full 20k cheaper.

 

I paid 35k out the door, the trucks sticker was 43k. The black bowtie i just spray painted with black plastic spray paint it came out great. As for the Xenons i dont really get your question but they are 4000k Hids they looks great nice and white, big difference from the regular halogens. The truck gets decent gas mileage its no tl but its not too bad if i can stay off of the pedal!
