Nope Ryan, f150 was just showing all us Tundra owners how he lacks knowledge about the Tundra. The hood actually uses 2 pneumatic lifters to open. I'm not saying the hood is really heavy, just that f150 fired off an unloaded gun, once again.
Well, please Robbie, teach me all your mechanical aptitude. I have no problem listening and learning from someone so much more mechanically inclined than I.
How is the rough idle of that Tundra? Having never owned a V8 truck before the Tundra, you sure pass on a lot of so called knowledge about V8 trucks.
I am sure you have as much knowledge of mechanics from reading that sales brochure as the Toyota mechanics that work on your truck. That fits pretty well.
How about elaborating and enlightening my anti-mechanical self about the advantages your Tundra engine has over any of the big three? Tell me about the advantage of having a belt for timing over a chain or gear. Please, do share with me how your Tundra fuel rail system works...injectors...timing, etc. With all that high quality and technology, why doesn't the Tundra get within 2 mpg fuel economy of the bigger engined and heavier framed full size domestic trucks? How does the overhead cam design work in comparison to overhead valve? This new electronic throttle control your Tundra has...how does it work? How is this new throttle control better than previous technologies?
Bet you can't answer one of these questions with any real factual knowledge, yet you just know that the Tundra is higher quality in it's first year of production. Now, now, no cheating. Don't be so small as to go recruit help from someone who really knows mechanics.
Still throwing stones in a very delicate glass house. Cheer up Robbie, maybe Toyota will build a truck next year that will be some competition to the domestic trucks. They tried stealing from Ford, but Ford caught them and made them play the game with the ideas and engineering abilities that they already had. I guess that is why they ended up with so much less truck than any of the big three.
yaaawn. I grow very tired of coming to this topic. Think I will move on to some more interesting areas. Tundra topics are dead without any other big three in here and it seems the big three that used to come in here have grown tired as well.
You all can have your topic back. Better post quick though, else it will get shutdown from inactivity.
Here we go again - the big three do build 32 valve overhead cam engines but they are for buyers who will pay more. Ford puts cheap engines in cheep trucks because people still need a cheap truck. Ford will not put race tech engines in their trucks they dont want you guys to get hurt.
a ha ha, that really made a whole lot of sense. is that what you think a truck is for? racing? your're as much of an idiot as RWELL. why on earth would a manf. put a racing engine in a truck for anyway. last time i looked a truck is for work and haulin' stuff, not racing. guess that's why the tundra ain't got no haul after all. geeeez you guys are dumb. you mainly want torque in a truck engine, not a high end screamer. and your right about one thing, the big3 do not want anyone to get hurt. that's why they build safety features into their vehicles. now let's hear something about the tundra ABS system that this topic is about if you can give us any input at all. so far this topic has been nothing but insult type post from the tundra crybabys. or is F150 really on track in saying that none of you know squat about trucks let alone the mid-sized tundra?
glad to see you're still around. if you get a chance, go back to my earlier post and tell me if i can buy a tundra the way i described.
or are you gonna dodge me again and not post here for 2-3 days as usual. i'd ask about the ABS system this topic is all about but, i've done so too many times to repeat myself again and again as it seems no one is even here to talk about the tundra and it's capabilities. all that's going on here is a bunch of useless bickering.
Q: How is the rough idle of that Tundra? A: The idle is very smooth. Are you referring to the low RPM's? Where do you get that idea?
Q: Advantage of having a belt for timing over a chain or gear. A: Smoother operation in all weather. Ever wonder why Harley-Davidson replaced its chain drive with belt drive?
Q: How does the overhead cam design work in comparison to overhead valve? A: Simple, no push rods, less parts to break, greater efficiency. Today's technology VS 1950's technology.
Q: How is this new throttle control better than previous technologies? A: They all have some form of electronic throttle control. Better electronics make for better efficiency. Like I said, you guys don't have a clue
They were to young to drive a truck. They drive a honda elite i think it is?? A moped They will see my chevy bowtie coming at them labor day weekend if they are down there. I might have a moped for sale then if anyone wants to buy it. They take my fishing rod i take their moped i think thats reasonable.
Thought you were getting off Tundra site F150? Why do Big 3 owners insist on coming to the site to bad mouth the Tundra? Think you're a mechanical god? Anyway, the overhead cam motors and timing belts are superior because less parts, less weight equals less reciprocating mass, less friction and higher horsepower, better gas mileage and thus better emissions. Gee didn't Ford have a legendary 427, 428 SOHC motor back in the sixties that most Ford fans worship? They all think OHC motors are better. Also, the drive by wire - I believe I heard GM is working on a steer by wire system that eliminates all those heavy steering components. Wave of the future. As far as trucks are for racing, gee Red, doesn't NASCAR have a truck class that all the good ol' boys love? Ever hear of the Baja 500? Gee, I think it's a race with trucks. Come one. Everybody at heart I know loves more HP, torque and quicker 0-60 (or 1/4 mile) times. And the idle on the Tundra is smooth. Actually, I prefer a rough idle, as in a radical cam, but the Tundra's 4.7 doesn't need one to perform well. matter of fact, check out Trailer Life's tow test of a Tundra with a 7,000 pound travel trailer. They loved it! And my Tundra flies up the hills with my 4800 lb. boat. No problem. As a matter of fact faster, more rpm, the Tundra just keeps pulling. Come on out to the CA, NV, AZ hills (know as 7500+ high mountains to you east coasters.) Hook up an equivalent weight and frontal area. You can see my tailights go over the peak - first. Now what was your question on the Toyota ABS?
Oh, and don't ever plan on rebuilding that engine. They are like all [non-permissible content removed] and Tiawanese parts....use once, then throw away."
F150Rules: For as long as I can remember, people looked for anything made in Taiwan, Korea, China, Japan, etc. Stayed far far away from it because the products were made cheap and with slave labor. They still have an element of that name of use once then throw away.
Bama you're the one who's been a fraud this whole time. said to ask you a question(s) and what happens. -0- thanks to tundraguy and dogster, you guys don't take on the stupidity awards and win. "thanks obyone for exposing f150" ha ha you can't even do that one on your own. sorry Bama but you are nothing but a first ckass loser and a total embarassment to toyota.
still no answer for me? yep, i knew it you're just a wannabe and always will be. thanks for showin' everyone that you don't have anything but a total lack of knowledge. now go cut and paste some more of your stupid posts that have no meaning.
So you think GM will build you a good truck if you have the secret order number? You also said, normally they just slap the trucks together! What's the secret code? I'm sure GM fans will want this number when they replace their 2000 silverados with the 2001 models. GM sure knows how to work you suckers for cash!
It is very apparent that you are the one that is not too smart. You still don't have a full load of bricks. I can't help but laugh every time you swear I am some other person. You are the idiot here, way off in outer space somewhere.
I only wish I knew of this guy you keep stammering about in your stupidity stupor. At least then I would probably see someone else that makes sense. He would have to if you disliked him so much.
You must be very lonely not having anyone like you. Ignorance is bliss, I guess.
Still no response to my questions? Com'on, you told all of us how smart you are, being some kind of Engineering whiz or something. Can't answer some very elementary mechanical questions about the truck you bought. From your posts, I would think you would fully relate to elementary.
How about answering the questions melodramatic man.
I was talking Ford when i meant bad resale. The GM (garbage man) resale is not even in the books because there is none. Only a complete moron would spend money on a GM product. A good place to try a tradein would be CANADA they have some resell up there.

F150rules: Your definetly not a man of your word are you?
Thats what I thought. You continually confirm that you and bamatundra are all talk and know very little about your truck and it's ficticous higher quality.
I don't need to "fib". You and your truck speak for themselves. All hype and no delivery.
Why does he or any of us have to leave??? Hmmm as i recall we have the freedom of speech. You are one of these guys who are against john rocker arent you???
Has anyone noticed quick tire wear with a Tundra? Mine has BF Goodrich's standard with LTD in 2000. Need to replace before winter but was hoping maybe the firestone issue will make Toyota do something way cool, like give me new tires. Hey, it could happen!
The facts: I have owned a Tundra LTD since last Oct. Racked 14.5k miles so far with not even a skip on the CD. Love this truck! Driving at high altitude thru mountains, (sharp curves and pulling nothing, daily going from 8.9k' down to 5.2k' and up, heavy on the pedal), has really trashed my tires but seemingly too soon. They are bald. I do lots off weekend off-roading too but I don't think that's as rough on rubber as asphalt, I can't say.
Any advise or experience welcome unless, of course, your reply is like so many others seen here: Nonsensical brand bashing. This is a Tundra forum last I looked so honest Tundra experiences are what I'm hoping to find or general tire knowledge, otherwise, please stay in your truck.
I have a Tundra Limited 3200 mi. I have noticed quick tire wear more so in the front than the back don't know why.If you find out anything or get them to give you new tires let me know.
what does your manual say regarding tire pressure and rotation? I had some wear on the outsides of my front tires at 1100 miles and the dealer told me it was time to rotate. I just couldn't stop laughing....rotate at 1100. 3200 miles, though, might just be about right.
Kinda like your stance of claiming superior mechanical knowledge and being an Engineering genius, yet, you won't answer a few very simple questions about your own truck make. Sounds like you toot your own horn and can't deliver. You are all mouth. Care to answer the questions, Melodramatic Man?
tundra guy: I noticed my tires wearing fast at about 2500.
Obyone: (r u the same guy?) I have rotated every 3k and keep 29 lbs up front and 27 in rear as recommeded/maintained by my mechanic. All four tires are cupped, all bald at 14.5k. Gone!
I looked at another Tundra with 10K and the tires looked better than mine at 5k but still older looking than 10k. Has anyone replaced yet? Any recomends for a tire that can better handle this torque?
I reread your post. The problem could be the downhill, sharp turns that you do daily. With the weight of the truck upon the fronts going downhill and the fact of the sharp turns increase wear dramatically on tires and brakes.
Tundra_Guy: The other Tundra had the same tires. I know the owner as I'm the one who talked her out of a suburban and into a Tundra. She drives very slow however but still too much tire wear for 10K.
Tundradude: did you get the Mich LTXs stock or did you already replace your BFGoods?
Obyone: I realize the stress I put on my tires is higher than average but I did the same drive with a 4runner on LTXs without any noticable probs.
I have the dunlops. They seem like a very soft tire. I have 13,000 on mine and just rotated them a few months ago. The outer edge of the front tires definetly wears quicker from cornering on asphalt. I'd say there was a 40% reduction in tread on the outer edge of the fronts.
Why post when you won't answer simple questions presented to you and dodge subjects like the plague. For someone calling people mechanical idiots, you sure havn't proven to know jack, except what is specifically stated in your Tundra owners manual and what your salesman snowed you with.
Nice try, but if you really were as smart as you think and were really able to ignore my posts, you would post nothing at all. You know you are a mechanical idiot and only talk trash to know anything about mechanics or your trucks, else you would have no problem replying.
What happened to post #321? Some idiot posted a hopeless attempt to act like he isn't bothered.

I guess he realized that his truck was just as wimpy as he was. And he could have bought a real truck - a Tundra. What a loser!
