Now - does the fact that you can get 100 new email addresses for free somehow add more credibility to your posts?
By the way: Doesn't Red sound like a little like BLD lately?
Thanks,

Where all the Toughness gone ?
"and what's even funnier, is that a few peole here know what the original poster has decided to buy. Doh!"
Red, I read all of the posts and Meeker never said what he decided on. Do you know something other than what is posted here?
sorry you weren't included, but your name did come up a couple times. seems you were the one who made someone see the light. thank you from the Big 3 bama, as you saved another one. you're not such a bad guy after all, nope, you have been quite helpful. LOL
Thanks.
I have checked in town and get 14-15mpg.
incapabilities to know that a bigger truck was the obvious answer for the original poster to this topic. and it's not insecurities that bring any of the big3 into your forums, it's the fact that you guys made a terrible selection in what you believe is a truck, and we just like to offer our support.

And where did all of the Chev pack's Tundra knowledge come from? It seems that Tundra sites get infested with poor fools who bought Chevs.
I can look in the Silverado sites and not see a single post from a Tundra owner. It seems the Chev pack is just a little bit insecure about their weak pickup.

Red: "Mah truck is biggern' yourn' " LOL.
problem is, you never opened it till ya got home, and found out all ya got was a tin can with a sliding window. also realized that ya got a DOHC engine that needs to spin to make some decent power that also sucks fuel like it's going outa style. BTW, how high can stack books in the bed before they fly over the side?
I'm hoping it's just because it is still in the break in period.
This also would be a lot better board without all the name calling. I own a Chevy and several Ford products and I'm secure enough in the choices I made when I bought them (and in myself) that I don't feel the need to take pot-shots at others for their choices in vehicles.
high: 22.13 mpg rural roads and interstate
low: 14.78 mpg towing cargo trailer
lifetime avg: 19.42 mpg
I regularly get 20 mpg back and forth to work on the interstate and have never dropped below 19 mpg even when spending half of the week in town.

With gas prices up, however, there may be some incentives on V-8's.

I am sorry if the Chev pack took offense by these facts. Man - you guys get your feelings hurt so easily when some facts are posted.
Good luck on this one now!
I'm having difficulty verifying this. Would you mind posting the link, where Chevy states Tundra has over 3" more ground clearance? If you are successful, I bet I know where you I can find a Tundra differential that's 6" smaller than the GM, which by the way bright guy, ain't a Dana.
Good luck on this one now!
It's not about why anyone posts in any particular topic, or commenting on fellow users.
Please try to avoid falling into that trap.
Thank you for your cooperation and participation!

http://www.edmunds.com/reviews/longterm/articles/44039/page023.html or go to Long Term Reviews on Home Page and find GMC Sierra SLT on the list. Have fun GM fans..there are plenty of problems to discuss.
Also it took them like 6 months to get a rattle fixed in their steering wheel they complained complained and complained about it. Duh we all know it was the steering shaft. It took me 45 min to get mine fixed (well about a wk after it started to make noise).
I read every article and yes it did have problems but its funny how one person loved the truck then the next month they hated it. Think they were use to driving a car?
Oh well also it held up pretty good in the wreck it was in. The other car was destroyed.

Could pink be just a little bit insecure? Why would he want to post to a Tundra group? Why is he so obsessed by the size of his truck? Is he trying to compensate? Just a little insecure about his purchase?
I would suggest to ANYONE buying a GM pickup to read the article first. I would also suggest that they read the Car and Driver long term test. The truck they got stuck with fell apart!
Just read Obyone's posts. He is trying to set a record for the most days in the shop for a new Silverado. The last I checked - it was 90 days!
Who won the J.D. Power 2000 award for best initial quality in a full size pickup - the Tundra - in its first year!
Who won the J.D. Power 2001 award for best initial quality in a full size pickup - the Tundra.
Isn't Chevy rated 26th in initial quality by J.D. Power? Down there with the Hyundais?
Isn't the 2000 Silverado rated "much worse than average reliability" by Consumer reports?
Isn't the '99 Silverado rated a "used vehicle to avoid" by Consumer Reports already?
Isn't GM putting $6500 discounts trying to sell these lemons?
How come edmunds didnt do a tundra long term test drive?
Any reasons?
Ryan
Meeker(the original poster) didn't post his decision to this topic. If he chose a Lemonado - is he just hiding his head in shame? Does he need Pink Lemonado to speak for him?
