In looking around the Tundra is making big inroads on the so called "big 3's" sales. they are EVERYWHERE in my area so Toyota must be doing SOMETHING right. They're hauling horse trailers and farm implements, and soccer moms. People will buy what suits their needs. The Trundra is sized right. If you want a bigger truck go for it. That's what makes America great!! Some post that Ford, Chevy, etc, build 800,000 plus, blah, blah, blah. Quantity never has been interpreted as "quality", but that seems to be what most Tundra bashers are trying to imply. The last GM product I drove the dash fell apart when I went over a bump. The Ford Crown Vic from work blew the engine because Ford changed the oil pressure relief valve and the thing stuck blowing out all the oil. So much for "quality". A local police dept has changed 17 Ford Crown Vic engines for the same reason. nuff said.
You're still crying the blues. How sad.
Roterray you've been sniffing to much Cow Dung,The Tundra isn't effecting any of the big3 sales check out www.putc.com it lists monthly sales and up to date sales,The Tundra is 10th and last even outsold by the Frontier maybe you should consider the Frontier since you live on one.
The Honda Accord was laughed at as being a compact car in the 70's. The domestic auto makers did not consider it to be serious competition. Now the Accord is one of the best selling vehicles of all time. Do you see a pattern here?
Toy factory make a "full size" one, and call it that tundra. But it aint really "full size", only yuppies be buyin em, they tire of that fad...
Any folks be seein a pattern on this one? Good luck on this one now!
That's Ford's problem if they sell more and have more problems because of it. Will they cut production? Hell no!
When did the T100 come out?
Ans: Right after F150 new body already came out.
When did Tundra come out?
Ans: Right after when they killed T100 and Ford introduced V10 and thinking about putting it in F150.
I dont understand why people are trying to compare Ford F150 and Ford trucks vs. others specifically Tundra......There's no comparison.
Have you checked out truck section on Edmunds?
Click on Ford and U will see.
Sure, Tundra is nice but it's not the best. Tundra is a new truck so U cant argue about long term reliability.
Another thing. Unlike passenger cars, trucks are designed to HAUL and PULL and CARRY stuff, that's why eventhough they only have beds yet they are so heavy. The weights are from strengthened chasis. F150 is heavier because it probably has higher maximun payload.
I was on a bus with Ford new V10. What an engine! The bus had 35 people on board yet it snapped my head every time the driver steps on the gas.
And what were you talking about a V10 in the F150? What sense would this make? Ford already has the highest torque engine (5.4L) in the 1/2 ton class. That big V10 needs a bigger chassis under it than the F150.
It's funny when we start making comparisons between 1/2 ton pickups and the first thing Ford and Chevy guys want to do is try to compare the Tundra to the 3/4 ton domestics. It ain't designed to compete in that class. Besides, the money and the volume is in the 1/2 ton class. If we stick to 1/2 ton class pickups there ain't alot of difference between the trucks except for quality, fit and finish, and smoothness, which the Tundra wins hands down.
It is in the lexus flagship and well tested with a long record a lot longer then the ford v10.
Must be makin all them yuppies feel good that them engines was "well tested" by them lexus "flagship" cars now. Bet they was "workin" that engine hard now. Yuppies, they just aint gettin it. Sure be glad when this fad be over and them yuppies be off chasin that next one now! Good luck on this one now!
I was parked next to that thereTundra the other day and the owner couldn't find his pickup there cause my truck was so much bigger it blocked the whole truck. He looked at my F-150 and said to me "Shi# damn, I wish I would of bought that nice looking Ford that is much bigger than my little Tundra". I said "Too bad sucker, better luck next time."
You: "Sorry for blocking your view."
Tundra owner: "No problem, don't feel sorry for that, feel sorry for having to drive a Ford."
I heard they were gonna have a show " Who wants to be a Tundranaire" Regis was going to ask Tundra owners why they think there trucks are fullsize, and then the audience was gonna laugh at them,and then Batman comes out and hits everyone with Haymakers and then the show ends.
Facts are facts here just telling them like they are.
Silverado 9600 LBS
tundra 7100 LBS (but be bustin quick)
Course they be goin up higher for them 3/4 and 1 ton ones now. Fact is facts. What part of this one aint ya gettin now? There aint no Math too it now. Just eyeball that pee-wee tacoma drivetrain if ya be needin more proof on it than these numbers now. Use them eyes too figure out this one! Good luck on this one now!
I towed my popup camper with my tundra.
Vs.
I hauled a tabaco train too market with my Chevy.
Guessin ya got some "readin" too be catchin up on for this one now. Them that be "workin" em already know these things. Good luck on this one now!
Them yuppies be thinkin too much of themselves.
Do I got it right now? Good luck on this one now!
Think about this as you read the various posts. They usually revert to the attack because the debater can't justify his position and must go after the individual, having been backed into the corner. trucksrme is a classic example and is why many of his posts, and the posts of others, fall of deaf ears. There's a lot to learn on this truck topic, and others, and I thank Edmunds for the opportunity for us to share our experiences. My suggestion is let's keep to the subject(s) at hand and we'll all be better for it. My .02
1. All Tundra owners are yuppies.
2. All yuppies are stupid.
3. Therefore - all Tundra owners are stupid.
This logic is hard to follow. Could you please clarify?
2. Do yuppies buy big3 trucks?
3. Do all S.C. farmers share your views? Just farmers? Just S.C. farmers? Just ignorant hicks?
4. Is your usage of the term "yuppie" just so you can insult people without being banished like some of your other aliases?
Just curious.
1. Were Tundra owners made yuppies by purchasing them, or were they yuppies before?
Aint got the knowin of all them folks that purchased them tundras now. Lots of them ones here seem too be.
2. Do yuppies buy big3 trucks?
Aint got the knowin of all them folks that purchased them big3 now. Lots of them ones here dont seem too be.
3. Do all S.C. farmers share your views? Just
farmers? Just S.C. farmers? Just ignorant hicks?
Aint got the knowin of all them farmers now. Them farmers, and even ignorant folk, have the knowin of the meanin of "full size" though.
4. Is your usage of the term "yuppie" just so
you can insult people without being banished like
some of your other aliases?
Aint tryin too insult no folks now. Just tryin too get that truth out on them trucks. Some folks take them truths on them trucks as the insult, this be sad but true.
Good luck on this one now!
Another reason is because it is smaller, and I agree by todays standards it may not be a 1/2 ton as compared to the big 3. But, it suits my needs perfectly as I only expect to tow approx. 5,000 pounds. I have noted the smaller differential and do hope it can handle the stress and heavy load. I guess I will have to trust Toyota on this one, but once again, previous experience is the basis for that trust.
Incidentally, my Tundra did come with a hitch and wiring harness. It was ready to go, so I don't understand comments about not having a hitch.
I certainly don't consider myself a yuppie just because I bought a Tundra. The big3 made a lot of money off me over the years.
I continue to read this topic with interest, but unfortunately I can't learn much from the banter.
