thats what im doing
I cant see how you put the ford in front of the chevy, thats pretty halarious, and dodge does deserve to be last because it is the oldest of the big three..
Have you looked up the defects list or whatever it called(national something)??? ford have more defects and problems than chevy, and theyve had at least 3 years to work them out!!! and the ones that the chevy have are MINOR, not like the piston slap in the ford 5.4 triton
For one thing, not all of the new chevy's are plagued with problems, just the the tundras, there will be problems with them as they come out new, until the bugs are worked out.
I live in texas and have not seen one single tundra, at least on the road, ive seen a couple at the dealership. and maybe one of those nissan thingys, frontier or whatever
i didnt think the chevy would catch on so quick but they are popping up everywhere.
ok, about this moron (rubluetoo)
i think he is mentally retarded or something because there is definately something wrongw with him
BTW i own a '99 chevy Z-71 3.73 victory red extended cab
and if a tundra owner says on here that they can take me up on anything, they're FOS!!!!!!!!
especially towing, that tundra commercial is so missleading its unreal
Even though i dont care for the tundra im sure it has pretty good quality, as far as ive heard at least. You people who say they've had experience with other Gm products must have beene extremely unlucky, because i have not had any trouble. I had a 89 GMC light duty 3/4 ton, i traded it for the '99, it had 170,000 miles on it, the only reason i traded it because it was apparently 10 years old and i was looking old with it, it had a 350 in it and let me tell you, with that many miles on it, it would run!!!!
so im sorry for ya'll who have had trouble with your GMs but the newer ones are better than ever, and the yota is gonna have to do better than 235Hp and 315ft/lbs to overcome the big three(oh whoops, big two, dodge doesnt count in my book, hehe)
The Tundra IS good. I have had it since June and love it. It is light years ahead of it's competition, especially Chevy. Chevy is still plaqued with problems.
just because there are more post on here for chevys stuff happening, doesnt mean anything
probably means that there are less people on here that fords, and that they dont want to admitt it or somthing
i would never get a ford, especially the f-150...looks like a tauras
I'm with you. Ford was my second choice behind the Tundra. F150 looks like a Taurus? Not even close.
Just curious too, what model Massey does Franklin have? Arkie6 asked the same question earlier. Please respond with model #. We mostly have Case-International equipment on our farm.
Lethal- why are you even here? What possible interest do you have with a Tundra since you love your Chevy and have done nothing but bash the Tundra? Don't give the answer that you have a right to be here, that's not my question. What is your intent? Why waste your time; it's illogical !
The only thing I can figure is that they purchased their truck before they saw the Tundra and now truely regret it.
then some for sure! Can't beat them massey-ferguson now. You folks really got them tojo kabota's I bet! Now your tellin you got a tindra on that farm? I bet that a tall tale now!
Now I hear that I bash that tindra? I not bash no truck, just do a compare is all. Since when is doin the compare called a bash? Good luck on that kabota tractor now!
I have read this forum from the beginning. Let me tell you about our utility and our experiences with the Chevy / GMC one ton 4x4's. The front end frame where the suspension is bolted onto has broken on 12 of 16 trucks on GM products form 1991 to 1996. We do not bid or order Chev. or GMC trucks anymore. The GM 99 and newer trucks are supposed to have a better frame, but we have had our fill of problems with the frames and other problems. On an average, the front end of these trucks required at least one complete overhaul. We keep trucks up to around 100,000 miles. On one chevy truck we replace the front end 'five times' over 120,000 miles. The older Chevy's and GMC's (80-88) were far more reliable.
We now purchase mostly Fords and a few Dodges. We do not purchase any Foreign products. Mainly due to that our rate payers do not want us to. We did buy two Toyota Trucks in 1987, 1 4x2 and 1 4x4, and they were very reliable. We just sent them to auction this month. 105,000 on the 4x2 and 145,000 on the 4x4. No major repairs done on either of them. They did have some problems, but not even close to what the S-10 or Ranger had. But people did notice that they were Toyotas and we caught grief for buying them. So we stopped and ended up spending more to maintain GM & Ford units.
I think the Tundra (eh, tindra) is an exceptional product. Only time will tell. But it is not the truck for everyone's needs. For those people who use it for mostly a commuter vehicle and weekend play, it would be hard to beat. But for towing or loading to max GVW and used that way on a regular basis, probably not.
One critic about the Tundra. The worst back seat. Take note Toyota! CHANGE IT!!!!
I agree on them tindras, they get used up quick if
you put em to any real work. They best used to
play with and such. Good luck on them snappin
frames now!
Ltr.
My reason for desiring the Tundra over the LARGER trucks is based on what I intend to use it for. I have an old Ford dump truck to haul my tractor around. My primary purpose for the Tundra will be commuting, hunting, fishing, and hauling whatever I need from the CO-OP or hardware store. Also, when it comes to stopping off at Wal-Mart or the grocery store, that Tundra will be easier to fit in a parking space. But I guess my primary reason is Toyota reliability. I also have a 1984 Toyota Supra with almost 200,000 miles that I drive back and forth to work to keep the miles off my truck. Still runs great without any major problems - I did just have to replace the heater blower motor because the brushes were completely worn out. Oh well, I guess that's to be expected after 15 years and 200,000 miles.
opinion that differ from the rest! Then we have
the good board here! Yes sir, then we all get
just the one sided tell here now!
This here is the US of A, not work that way here folks. You all like them tojo trucks, now them tojo tractors, and I guess you like them tojo rules too?
I like it the US of A way myself, you state your opinion, I state mine. I think it fine they not
the same tell! Guess some here not quite figure
out what this country is all about, what a shame,
hope they figure it out soon now.
By the way Franklin's MF 6200 is the full size tractor, not a little one like that kabota! If you
knew the 6200 you would have the know that a kabota could never give it the pull now.
Glad to see you've taken on your "old man" persona once again. I know you type like a hick on pupose. It's funny, but not everyone has caught on to your game. Only three or four people on this post have actually figured out that your just toying with them. When you supposedly went away your alter ego "trucks4me" showed up. BTW, I also know you and Franklin are one in the same. There is no 235lb grandson that works at the Tundra plant. Please, don't let the fact I exposed your game stop you from posting. You've created a hilarious character, and I think it's very entertaining. Good luck on this one now!
correct your manners again, sonny! Oh, and anytime you want the visit these parts, Franklin
said your welcome to stop on by, we do the compare
on them trucks, eh little one?
A v8 or a supercharged TRD V6.
Anyone tried the supercharger on the V6?
It is # 1129... So please go there if you want to bash him, he is annoying and his comments are out of line but the people that are responding to him are making it worse.. Even though I own a Chevy Silverado I like reading about the other trucks. OK I admit I have bashed Ford, Dodge and Toyota but just for a little harmless fun... Can't you see that he is playing you like a drum....The only way to get rid of him is to ignore him...
needin to bash this old one - take it to #1129 now, just keep it clean on this one.
island, that San Jose paper had them facts wrong.
Franklin just human like us all now. Sorry this
lead to the big feud a while back, I agree on
that origin havein not much at all to do with its
quality, that was never the point of that tell.
Guess I still don't know what that factory is doin
with the WV engine plant now? I agree that all
them factory's get parts from all over, this be
the world as we know it today. When I be wrong on
something I state it plain now.
Dealer could not keep time commitment of 6-8 weeks. He was talking another 4 weeks wait. We've sold our other vehicle(Toy 4x2 DLX) and are now without and wife is getting anxious. We looked at Silverados all night tonight by my heart is with Toyota Tundra as we have had great luck with all our past Yodas.
Please can someone tell me where I can find a 4X2 Tundra with captain's chairs available NOW. I will travel outside of my district (WI-IL-?) to buy it. A discount would be nice too.
One final question to those who own 4X2s. Do they sit as high as 4X4s or are they low boys as most 4X2s are??
Thanks,
"Stuck without a Truck"
I'm in PA, and my dealer did wonders locating the Tundra I wanted. Let me know if you want the name.
Sorry this post is so long. Just trying to help.
Turns in a very tight circle, and not much bucking. I received port leather which is a little loose fitting as warned and the bed liner showed up under rail instead of over. Overall like they say the fit and finish has exceeded my expectation.
P.S. Someone posted about www.jimbarkleytoyota.com
in Asheville, NC(western NC). I checked the inventory there briefly and the prices seemed pretty good(all options and pricing are listed on the site). Maybe they can ship you one for a couple hundred bucks(or you can vacation in the beautiful NC mountains). I have had no experience with this dealer but it seems like several other people that post here have. Remember, this is not a personal recommendation....just information.
on that rear. The tindra has fewer options then the Chevy. The Chevy will get the better gas mileage, is bigger, and haul that greater load.
The Chevy easier to find and cost be less.
The tindra offer that 4th door, Chevy won't
have the 4th till December. The Silverado is as reliable as that S10 you have now, time will tell on that tindra's reliability...
This "RudeBlewToo" writes like an underworked bureaucrat. What the H__ is he saying? This guy could be a tap dancer or even president.
Chevy is a nice truck. It's just more truck than I need and I don't want to feed it for unusable space. I also need a reliable truck. Toyota has had a great track record with me since 1984. Why risk anything else.
Barlitz(where ya been?),
I think we won that war. It is over now. I can't confirm or deny your statement(question) but, we can't be held accountable for what our ancestors did. If we were, we'd all be in trouble.
A football comment:
Carl Torbush(UNC football coach) made the worst call I've seen in a LONG, LONG time. Sorry...just had to vent to someone. I'm sick to my stomach.
But still "Stuck without a Truck"
Good Luck
I think that most of the Tundra owners here bought their trucks for one main reason. Reliability. Most of us have been through the old Ford and Chevy route and realized that quality wins out over everything else. If not, then we would be buying F-150's and Silverado's/ Sierra's also ( should I even dare mention Chrysler??). Still I can't imagine ever owning another GM truck though. Got to go with the blue oval as a second choice. And I'm basing that decision on my own personal experince, nothing else.
tatic workin its magic here. You all have the cousin or some other kin that owned this or that and it broke this way or that? But not them
tojo toys, they just keep on a goin now eh?
If this the case, then how come eveybody in whole US not drivin them magical tojo cars and trucks then? Now that folks here forced to agree that the tindra not the full size, not haul much, not really a real workin mans truck, we switch to the propaganda of tojo reliability?
This tindra just the lastest in long line of yuppie fads here. Can't talk fact with the yuppie, once that trend start, they just like that lemin bird now. Good luck lemins!
