The Silverado list price is more than a comparably equipped Tundra - just read the Edmund's comparison. Chevies sales are dropping even with deep discounts. The word must be getting out on what a heap they are. Now run along to your Chevy group and convince Chevy owner's what an amazing deal you got.
Consumer Reports ratings:
Chevrolet C/K1500, Silverado
Reliability: Spotty; avoid the 1996 2WD model and
the 1995 to 1998 4WD models; also avoid the 1999
model.
I rest my case.

The Tundra managed to get the 2000 J.D. Powers award for initial quality in its first year of production.
Chevy managed to achieve a -90% predicted reliability in its second year of production. I would stay far, far away from the Hyundais until they get their act together (if ever)
Face facts Z: Chevy = expensive junk
If you are so confident about your truck - why do you feel the need to post to a Tundra owners forum? Must be your TIC acting up again.

I've never hidden anything about what I find unsatisfactory on my truck.
With that said, Rwellbaum you were right. Not only it is still crooked, they put a gash on the left rear door and the guy tried to pass it on to me.
I could use some information on where these bolts are located and I'm just gonna have to crawl under the truck and do it myself.
Thanks.
Where does that leave your shakerado?
I think it is because the unfortunate Chevy owners realize that their truck has been totally outclassed and they are feeling TIC (truck inferiority complex).
That being said - Why do they expect civility? I don't get it.
By the way babs it is "you're" - not "your". Are you sure you're in college?

adjustable head rest in the class" The Dakota doesn't have adjustable headrests? You may be right- you could move up to the Full size Silverado - It is the only truck in its class that has both front and rear adjustable head rests. I also had a Nissan - my kids out grew the back seat. I looked at the Tundra but the back seat is a joke. Small, cramped & uncomfortable - and this was for my 9 year old son. Look at all the trucks - pick the one that meets your needs.
I've noticed for the past couple of weeks you've been posting that the Tundra is the best of the "mid-size" pickups. You had better stop embarrasing yourself like that. Remember, we are talking about the truck that has consistently outclassed the Ram, F150, and Sierra/Silverado. In fact, every single comparison of full-size pickups I've read not only includes the Tunrda, but puts it ahead of the others. Are you saying that a mid-size truck can run all over your Z71 like that? Come on, everyone else has come to terms with the fact that the Tundra is full-size. It's time to come to terms with the truth.
And please don't post back with all the nonsense about such-and-such being 34% smaller than the other. When I get together with my friends and family members all of the different full-size trucks are lined-up in the driveway and *none* of us can see any appreciable difference between the F150, Tundra, Ram, and Sierra/Silverado. Go peddle your myths someplace else. Nobody's buying that mid-size BS here.
The Tundra crawled surefootedly in 4low up the extremely uneven and boulder strewn wash. I love this truck more each day!
Too lazy to align the bed...
Also saw that the 2nd Toyota brand bed liner is now also warped...
I'm just gonna run to the dealershop again and wring somebody's neck...
If you bought houses the way that you bought trucks - you would be living in a barn. I can hear it now:
"Z, why are you living in a barn?"
Z: "I got a great deal on it. It is much bigger than your house"
"But Z - it is a barn"
"I know, but it is a "full size" barn"
LOL
Take a X-cab 4x4 Tundra Limited -
reduce the HP by 40
reduce torque by 10
cut 218 pounds from the payload capacity
slash 2,300 pounds from the max tow rating
chop 10.1 inches off the length
reduce the wheel base by 15.2 inches
squeeze 3.1 inches out of the rear seat leg room
decrease cab space by 25%
shrink the bed by about 20%
Could you tell the difference in size and capabilities? Even Stevie Wonder (AKA Rushfan2112) could see the difference.
Start with a Silverado LT x-cab 4x4 and reduce the same amounts as above and what do you have - a Tundra with a bow tie. Could I live with a smaller truck - sure - I could live in a 1 bedroom apartment, but that is not what I want to do.
1. Make all of the rods knock because of incorrect bearing clearances.
2. Make it ping on anything other than premium gas.
3. Make its frame so flimsy that it must be braced. Make its rack and pinion steering such low quality that it must be replaced.
4. Take it from a tie with BMW for third in J.D. Powers initial quality rating to 26th (Hyundai levels)
5. Increase its turning radius and braking distances.
6. Decrease its front seat leg room, ground clearance, standard towing and hauling capacities, frame rigidity, quality and reliability.
7. Take away its 2000 J.D. Powers award for initial quality in full size pickups.
8. Charge more money.
9. Decrease its powertrain warranty by two years and 24,000 miles.
10. Take it from a better than average predicted reliability rating to a -90% rating.
Hey! I think we are getting close to the Shakerado! Boy, I just want to trade my Tundra in on one now.

If anyone can help....thanks and by the way why aren't you guys spraying in those bed liners?!
Your last comment about trading in your Tundra on a Silverado - I will take that as a joke. But then you never know - you may need a full size truck someday and may find yourself in a Chevy dealership. If that happens will you change your name to BammaSilverado? Or would that be Bammashakerado?
The question is for any trailer owner is how the new camping trailers will last in the long run. It appears that the new ones are built more to withstand the elements summer and winter, but I wonder how they compare to the previous generations. I currently own a 82 model.
The Toyota Tundra is, indeed, a full-size, American made pickup truck. In my mind, Ford, Chevy and Dodge are all second place. And second place is the first loser. The Toyota wins.
I agree with you - almost- Toyota does make good cars and trucks- but if you think they all go over 200,000 miles without problems you are living in a dream world. IMO -Tundra is the best mid-size truck available today. If you don't need or want the extra room it would be a great buy. It is nice to see Toyota finally offering major $$ discounts on its products. If this would have been the case when I needed a new truck I may be driving one now. Everything I do with my Silverado could be done with a Tundra. But it was not worth $4,900 more (back in mid 99) and also had far less options/features.
Just because the Tundra is good does not make all other trucks bad. The reliability of both chevy trucks I own has been great. The 98 (bought in late 97) has only been in the shop once to lube the drive shaft, my 99 only once to get the tranny program updated and fix a slight stick in the throttle. This is not perfect, but would bet if Tundra owners were honest some of them have needed to take their trucks in for something in the first year.
As far as your on-line name (RUNS FOR EVER) you should buy some Imodium A-D to solve your problem.
