Toyota Tundra

ryanbab

if im not mistaken red asked what his decision was. Hes lying about???

bamatundra

I really don't like liars:

You previously posted that Meeker decided on a Chev. Post # 100:

Red: " as the original poster who started this topic has chosen a GM product to perform the task that he requires his truck to do."

The original poster was Meeker.

Post # 106:
Red: "was hoping to see Meeker post his decision in here."

Red - man! - You don't even know what you posted! You posted two totally opposite posts within 6 posts! Get a clue!

redsilverado

what topic are you looking at ace?
in here, posts#100 and 106 are yours....LMFAO

bamatundra

Clever! Just delete whatever post you are questioned about! Are you just a little bit insecure?

mnice

I'm sorry to see you seem so negative. I guess you may just like a little confrontation, which is OK. I just don't understand why anyone has to degrade anyone else's choices when they really don't affect you. Could you please explain why you have to dis everyone elses choice when it really dosen't affect you?? I know you drive a tundra and you really like it, THATS GREAT. But why can't someone else drive a different brand and enjoy it without you getting on their case? Please explain, thanks.

Bama slams the chevy posters(which he should), because they do not own a Tundra, yet insist on telling us Tundra owners how horrible our trucks are. At least Tundra owners are polite enough not to post endlessly to Chevy silverado topics, disturbing the endless flow of crying Silverado owners.

bamatundra

Both of Red's posts to this topic which I referred to in post 106 have been posted. When I questioned him, the coward deleted them. I don't like cowards.

ryanbab

WOAH

when did i say anything horrible about the tundra?

lake5

i'm glad someone had the intelligence to point out that name calling is not only childish, but it also shows ones immaturity.
i've been reading a lot of the different topics(mostly tundra related), and i too am wanting to buy a new tundra, but i want to do some 5th wheeling. is this possible with the tundra?

redsilverado

i haven't deleted anything. saw a bunch of new posts showin up in here and checked it out. would be nice if i knew what you were talking about.
-
lake5- your post might be answered best by rwellbaum, as he has quite a bit of knowledge when it comes to the tundra. he'll at least give ya an honest and mature answer.

I suggest that you read all of this topic. The Chev pack infested this from the start saying that the Tundra was incapable of towing 5000 lb. When I posted some references which said that the Tundra tows 6500lb very capably, they got their feelings hurt.

Do I take offense to insecure Chev owners posting here? - you betcha.

Why would Chev owners want to post endless bashes to a Tundra topic?

Go to the Silverado topics. See any Tundra owners posting there? No? It is because Tundra owners realize that they know very little about Chevs

Why would Chev owners post here bragging about how HUGE their truck is? Maybe a little insecure? End of story.

ryanbab

hey do tundras even come from the factory with one of these (hitch)?

ryanbab

ryanbab

chevy has an izuzu engine?

Which size engine would that be? 6.6 duramax diesel? I thought we are comparing trucks which are 1/2 ton rated. Well if thats the case the Vortec 4.8 and 5.3 are not izuzu engines

lake5

this bickering? you guys need to grow up and respect others and their choices. who cares who drives what anyways. i'm knew here and would like some info if i can get it from experienced tundra owners, but you that are bickering are making me just plain sick. grow up people.

bamatundra

I appreciate your need to respect others. Why would the Big2 feel a need to post here? Just a little insecure? I don't see any tundra owners posting to Big2 topics.

I will respect any truck owner posting info relevant to this topic. Unfortunately, the Big2 has many posters which post info which in no way relates to this topic. This is why I am rude sometimes to Big2 idiots which seem to inhabit this topic out of insecurity.

ryanbab

no i acknowledge they have an izuzu (collaboration) engine.
Never denied anything. Its a great engine also.

But when we bring up 2500 and 3500 size trucks you start saying we are comparing half tons. Well we will compare half tons then. Its not an izuzu engine and i am trying to get that across

Ill leave now. Lake i dont care what people drive i just dont like when people say things like bama did back a few posts about gm's falling apart which is not a fact. I apologize for bugging a few people

Ryan

lake5

it appears that the previous poster and Bamatundra are here just to antagonize people. it's too bad, but hopefully the moderator will do their job and deal with it.
i agree that it shouldn't be an issue as to what someone owns, whether it be a ford, izuzu or what ever, just so long as the person giving advice has the knowledge and experience to give advice to ones question. after reading here and a few other topics, it's obvious who's respected and who's laughed at.
i noticed from your picture that your hitch is factory installed. i haven't had a chance to dig in real deep as far as options on the tundra are concerned, but isn't the tundra equipped with a hitch similar to yours?

redsilverado

the tundra is not factory equipped with a hitch. i also was interested in the tundra because i'm familiar with toyota's quality and already owned a tacoma(best small truck), but the tundra wasn't available the way i wanted it. good luck on your new purchase, and hopefully you'll see through all the adolescents which is so apparent here at times.

lake5

right now i'm starting to wonder why toyota made the tundra. it's suppose to be a 1/2 ton truck that's capable of doing what the other 1/2 ton domestic trucks are capable of, but apparently it's not. may start looking at something else.

redsilverado

i would suggest some other trucks to look at, but it would just start an outrage amongst a couple people here, but if ya want, ask around in any of the other topics, whether it be ford, dodge, or chevy, you will be welcomed to be sure.

bamatundra

"i'm starting to wonder why toyota made the tundra"

Lake, you don't seem too genuine. If you don't like the Tundra why post such crap to a Tundra topic?

I suggest you buy a Chev immediately and leave this topic! Good luck on this one now!

bamatundra

Weren't you the one that had numerous posts deleted for name calling. Still the giggly pre-teen? I thought you had reached puberty. I guess I was wrong!

Why don't you post again about how HUGE your Chev is?

bamatundra

"the tundra is not factory equipped with a hitch. "

That's a surprise to me - mine came with a factory installed hitch! Could you just be lying again!

ryanbab

is so hypocritical

obyone

Fly, I don't remember reading anyone by that name posting? Or are you confusing someone with someone else. Hmmmm...attention deficit disorder? Just wondering.

By checking the specs, it is easy to determine that the Tundra is not a full size truck. It is comparable to the Dodge Dakota. Afterall they have the same sized engine though Dodge does offer a couple more choices than does Toyota which is a take it or leave it option.

bamatundra

Surprise! - another Chev owner checks in! Aren't you the one who is trying to set a record for most days in the shop with your new Silverado? Wasn't it over 90 days? Oh, what a feeling!

As far as whether your truck is "full size" or not - I'll bet it looks "pint size" while it is in its usual postition at the top of a service lift.

obyone

You are one of the more successful Tundra owners who are able to convince others to buy a big two truck. Anyone reading your posts wouldn't want to be associated with a Tundra owner.....

MUAHAHAHAHA!!!

I guess that's why no one posts in the Tundra problems topic....they know they won't get a knowledgeable answer. Rather all they'll get is denial....they know better and post in the tundrasolutions.com site.

Why if it weren't for the Chevy owners posting here....there would be nothing to read. And fyi, the truck's great after all the fine tuning. Plus I have a 72 month/100,000 mile bumper to bumper no deductible warranty compliments of GM. Now what could be better than that.

markg92

The factory lets the regional dealers install the hitches, under full warranty, to let them make a few bucks from it. Like running boards, bed liners, and such. Big deal. Honda used to ship all its cars from Japan without A/C -- it was installed "at the docks" or something. Makes it easier to mass produce vehicles.

I suspect Toyota did not foresee their "Limited" customers asking for hitches due to their market research. Go figure. Give them a year.

redsilverado

that extra warranty that GM gave ya at NO EXTRA COST, says a lot about the way american truck builders take care of their customers. no use trying to reason with you know who, as it's like argueing with a little girl...."i'll say this, if you say",.........well, you know the routine.
sorry in advance to PF, as i know this is a toyota topic, but it seems only fair that we at least help answer a newcomers question about the tundra, especially when it comes to the safety issues of towing or 5th wheeling. don't want this to turn into another T vs. B3 topic there PF, but it would be nice to give advice as we know to someone like the two newest members in here without the childish retorts from the obvious troublemakers.
thanks,

bamatundra

Are you trying to turn the Toyota Tundra topic into the "Red's Chevy owener's Tundra Envy" Chatroom? Are you guys really that insecure about your Chevs?

I will give you an assignment - go to the Silverado topic and see how many Tundra owners post there. None? Can't find any? Go back a year or two. NONE?

I guess the Chev owners are feeling just a little insecure about their pickups. The next post will be from Red telling us how HUGE his pickup is. It he possibly compensting for something?

redsilverado

LOL not sure what's going on here, but are you watching the Indy 500?

ryanbab

did you noticed all the Silverado trucks? They are hauling of bunch of people and equipment to help during the wrecks?

Wheres the tundras? They are built in indiana why arent they there?

Obviously indy knows what the best trucks are and they use em

Ryan

redsilverado

wondered about that myself.
what's up with Todd and Bama?
bashin me when i'm not here is kinda like back stabbing isn't it?

ryanbab

them izuzu engines are sure getting worked hard today. Good thing indy chose the best

3rd crash in less than 20 laps.

redsilverado

no need to tell you that the chevy is bigger than the tundra, as you've pointed this out all along, so let's let that one go ok?

are you watching the Indy 500?
sorta sad to see all the crack-ups so early on huh?
how come chevy's are all we're seeing on the aftermath clean-ups?

bamatundra

RED: "that extra warranty that GM gave ya at NO EXTRA COST, says a lot about the way american truck builders take care of their customers."

Oby only had to have his truck for 90 days to get a FREE extended warranty. This must mean that Chev paid for Oby's truck payments while it was in the shop - right OBY?

Oby correctly pointed out that his truck was dead 90 weekdays. Add in weekends and holidays and Oby was without his truck only 126 days! Wow! - What a deal! A FREE WARRANTY! NO EXTRA COST!

I am glad to hear that Chev is taking care of its customers.

lake5

a minute, hopefully you all are just kidding.
if i may interupt for a moment though i have a question. i'm determined to buy the tundra, and since i have not yet purchased a trailer for 5th wheeling, might i ask if there are any suggestions for which one to buy that will work with my future truck?

bamatundra

I am still wondering what you plan on towing? Could you just be just a little confused?

redsilverado

and you will read some of the finest advice that one can recieve amongst our friends here. you may be determined to purchase the tundra, and it is a very fine pick-up, but after reading Quad's post, you may want to rethink your decision. safety is of the utmost importance when it comes to towing anything.

redsilverado

lake is wanting to buy a truck and use it for 5th wheeling. as he has said, he's knew to this and is not sure if he buys the tundra, what trailer will work for him. you have told him it will work out, so he's asking you what trailer might be best suited for him should he purchase the tundra. what part of his question don't you understand, or is it that you can't back up your claim as usual?

bamatundra

I said that the Tundra will tow a 5th wheel as well as any other 1/2 ton.

I am STILL waiting for Lake to tell what he is planning to tow.

Since Lake so far will not post this, I am wondering if he is very sincere.

Red, don't you want to tell how HUGE your Chev is now? Why don't you go back and delete post # 6 and post # 179. You must cover your tracks, don't you know!

Good luck on this one now!

redsilverado

Bama you finally admit that you don't have an answer to back up your claim. you have certainly earned my respect. have a great holiday Bama, and a safe one as well.

created this scuffle, but i'm going to look into other brands of pickups, so please don't argue with each other anymore on my account.

bamatundra

Just lying again?

Red, you are embarassing all chev owners by your incessant bashes to the Tundra topic. Why don't you just post how great the Silverado is to Chev topics? Why don't you post how HUGE your Chev is? Just a little bit insecure? I thought so.

PF_Flyer

While I clean out all the garbage in this topic I'm going to turn it to read only. Apparently that's the only way to keep you guys from ripping into each other.

Let's get it straight right now. READ THE GUIDELINES. Personal attacks, comments about other users, etc. are NOT OK. There have been well over 500 posts in just a couple of topics where you keep going after each other and it stops NOW. Short of sitting in here 24/7 and reviewing each note as it gets posted, NOBODY is going to be able to keep you from seeing something that you might disagree with. It's up to YOU to not respond and escalate things. And if you DO "open fire" in response, you should fully expect to get hit with the host bazooka right between the eyes. If someone posts, "I hate brand XYZ trucks", that's NOT a persoanl attack on you, nor does it need to be answered with an attack.

If you persist in "defending your turf" by attacking, name calling, whatever...you running the risk of losing your posting priviledges. That's not a threat, just the reality of the situation. We want Town Hall to be an informative and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Thanks for your cooperation and participation.

If you're towing a fifth wheel trailer, weight is not your major concern. Any half ton full size pickup can be equiped to pull more than 5 or 6 thousand pounds. Your big concern is sail area. Wind tends to push large trailers around a lot, and driving comfort (and safety?)suffers badly at higher speeds in cross winds. It get worse on two lane roads if large vehicles, semis and such, are coming the other way.

If you pull a large trailer, you will find yourself driving more slowly than you planned on windy days unless you are using a truck heavier duty than any half ton. If you only pull occasionally, you can just slow down when you have to, and a Tundra or other half ton is fine.

Hey at least we keep you employed eh?
