I would have nothing to add here, if not for disputing your perpetuation of the 11 inch ground clearance myth, which by the way, Tundra does NOT have.
http://www.c5-corvette.com/tirecalc.htm
Dimension
Tire A: 265/75 R 16
10.43" (265.00mm) width
31.65" (803.90mm) height
Tire B: 285/75 R 16
11.22" (285.00mm) width
32.83" (833.90mm) height
They sure DON'T. And you know it. Stop being a cop-out.
but on the chart you posted the height is different from each other even though they are both 75.. I'm guessing the 75 is the height..
obviously I'm an expert on tires.. "yeah they're those round black things in the bottom"
((tread width x aspect ratio) / 25.4) x 2 + rim size = tire height.
in this example ((265 x .75)/25.4) x 2 + 16 =31.65"
hope this helps and does not confuse you to much
I was just wondering if I could get wider tires (yes for looks) when the time comes that I need them to be replaced...
On top of ground clearance the Tundra has by far the best brakes. Truck Trend tested the Tundra loaded with 1350 lb. and it STILL outbraked the EMPTY Chevy. I think Chev equipped their truck with Chevette brakes.
And Edmund's Fullsize truck comparison concludes the Tundra is the worst fullsize truck for offroad use. And I agree(no LSD, skid plates bolted to the trans case). Bama; go straddle a 10.5" tree stump in your Tundra driving about 15mph and tell us all what happens! Or do you not trust Toyota's GC claim?
For the Edmund's off-road test, the Tundra had stock suspension and the Chev had the off road suspension. Hardly a fair test. Truck Trend tested similarly equipped trucks (except the Chev had limited slip) and the Tundra whupped it. Face the facts.
Is Quad a Toyota owner? No. Is this a Tundra owner's topic? I do believe that Quad is doing a little of his own brand of spamming.
Just a little insecure about his low rider Chev truck.
Don't you see a problem with this?? Maybe for once you could try to explain this discrepancy rather than hiding behind Toyota's questionable numbers!
And let us know what happens when you nail that 10.5" pine stump with your rear diff! "Oh gee! but Mr. Service Manager that stump was well within Toyota's SAE GC claim! Whaddaya mean I voided my warranty"?
I'll await your explanation on the hypothetical tree stump situation! And good luck Bama!
My post #713 was in response to a post in which Quad posted a graphic file of a can of spam. I accused him of spamming. Either he or PF deleted Quad's original post. Hardly a personal attack.
Here is a novel idea - why don't we both do as PF has suggested and start talking ONLY trucks? I'm all for it.
If you do believe it's spam, to not continue the personal attacks, you should report it. It's not like you haven't done it before. Right? Lastly, who made you the marshall. For you there is no damage control...just more personal attacks. Do you understand the problem? When you have nothing left to argue with...what do you do?
BTW, you address Quad's post yet you ignore hillhound's which is a legitimate question. Why don't you start by answering hillhound's question regarding ground clearance?
If you guys could read you would notice that this is a Tundra owners topic.
As I have said before - let's talk trucks.
hey could you please check out the tundra vs the big 3 I posted a question back there this past weekend and it wasnt answered maybe you could help me out. It was about a camry and orangish rust color spotting in the paint
Ryan
Its a 2000 camry 10K miles.
Its my grandpas
The orangish rust colored spots in the paint (they are all over) only come off if you use your nail and rub it off. I tried a few waxes to no avail.
Car sits in the garage most of the time.
Just thought some of you guys may know
its silver also
Well a word to the wise... LET GO

Take it when he takes his nap? Ok thats never.
How can it be rail dust when it didnt come by train?
You state that he has yet to wax his car. Well, you know that he should so go ahead and do it for him.
You state take it when he takes a nap...never. Well do it while he's sleeping...cause I know he does that.
Maybe it's not rail dust, but whatever it is that comes off with your finger nail....will also come off easier with the clay than going around the whole car with your finger nail.
Good luck on this one now.
If you have a response, take it to your "WORKING SITE" versus your "NON-WORKING SITE "as we don't want to be reminded by the host to stay on topic.
more on topic than most here
Has anyone here done extensive, muddy (think Alabama river bottom) off-road time in their Tundra? If so, did it handle well? Did the wet mud create any mechanical or electric problems? Any other comments?
I need the space of the SUV, but I also go off road a lot during deer season. No one seems to take their SUV's off road much, so any info y'all can give would be helpful.
thanks

Thanks.

Toyota also needs to concentrate into making a comfortable extended cab. I bought a regular cab because the extended cab is uncomfortable and no long bed attached. With the present wheelbase, a crew cab will not work.
The T-100 had a nice extended cab and it was a smaller truck. It was comfortable to ride in.
I wish Toyota stop making those Sequeoias and concentrate on the Tundra line.
So far I am very impressed by the Tundra's ride, smooth (and powerful) engine, and how quiet it is. Also, it's much better at maneuvering into tight parking spaces (than the F150).
The cabin is smaller than the F150 but personally I don't mind. Three (small to average people) could sit in the front seat because of the great middle storage bin which folds up to allow a 3rd front passenger. Seats are comfortable and firm.
My only initial concern is the lack of ABS. Minor beefs are the lack of factory keyless entry (would probably cost Toyota $30 to add it), and the tiny storage space under the rear seat.
Which one did you get?
The only two things that bothered me were that things I saw on the internet and the dealers that I talked to led me to believe that limited slip differential and ABS and daytime running lights would be standard on the LE'02's. That is why I waited. I could have had the same truck in '01. Has anyone else ran into this?
