Tundra Bashers....
To the Town Hall management.....I used to really
enjoy this forum. But you are allowing about 3 or 4
Tundra bashers to fill EVERY Tundra topic with
their babble. The title of these topics is not
whether something else is better. I would just like
to read comments from people that pertain to the
topics. Do not allow a few to make this forum
useless.

The Tundra owners want to live in a clouded fantasy world where their Tundra reins superior. Anyone that shows that their Tundra is no better or worse than any other truck and they start feeling bad about having paid way too much money for a truck with an "assumed" but not "factual" reliability advantage, and also smaller in size with less options available. It stings hard and the Tundra owners don't like it, so then they scream bashing.
However, it is ok for them to all talk trash they know nothing about and say how inferior domestic trucks are. Bunch of hypocrites.
It doesn't bother me to have the same old bashers month after month. Every attempt to ridicule, berate or bash my beloved Tundra makes it clear that I bought the right truck. People who are unhappy with their purchase will try to find fault with another product to escape their own misfortune. For example, I feel chevy's have an inferior build quality, but I don't post on the chevy topic because it's not my problem and I don't own one. I support everyones right to write what they like about the Tundra...good-or-bad!
Still, I'm glad you're back from the desert sands. You make things interesting here!
While you were away, I drove a Tundra. Even had some nice things to say about it. You can catch up here http://members.aol.com/sturbridg1/utahtrek.html
No! Even a diehard GM man like quadrunner has a place in his heart for the Tundra since test driving it.
Where else can you witness some bonehead spew forth ramblings in favor of a Chevy or Dodge?
(Yes, the second paragraph was a poor attempt towards humor....)
I wouldn't be honest if I didn't tell you, no matter how nice it drives, I can't get used to the smallness. It's a little undersprung in back for a big payload, but rides great empty.
The other feature I can't get used to is the car like interior. It's just preference, but everything, from the colors, materials, layout, not enough truck, too much sedan! Just my $0.02
Personally, the discussions don't really bother me. The only thing that does are ignorant/derogatory statements and repetitious comments that have been beaten to death. I've been on the Tundra boards since middle of last summer, and have pretty much seen them all. I don't object to any comments other than pure ignorant comments and derogatory comments. Hey, it's a free country, and if you have followed this board, you will see that I own a Tundra, and have defended even rubluetoo's right to post.
Which brings me to my original question. The reason why this even came up was that I was going to respond to an ignorant comment by some one on another board. As I was typing the post, I realized that this may make the person to whom I was rebutting look bad (or rather worse than the orignal post). That is not my intention of being here. So I thought better, and thought I would respond via e-mail, rather than post something that may be embarassing that everyone would be able to see and read. I noticed that the person didn't have an e-mail in his/her profile. I went through the other posts and check, and it seems that most 'bashers (for lack of a better word)' didn't list their e-mail addresses, yet most Tundra owner's did (kinda makes you wonder...but hey, it's a free country).
Well, I decided to neither to post a response, or try to contact the person. I doubt if my petty words will change such opinions that surely must run strong.
For what it's worth ... Just my $0.02.
It's good, but is it beautiful? Well, at least from the front.
I tended to think the rear quarter panels are just a slab of sheet metal. But they really do affect how the truck appears. Like the F150 Ford, the Tundra is two different trucks, front and the back. Tundra has the pretty face, F150 shakes its booty.
If I could put aside the size remark, it's really the shape of the rear quarters of the Tundra that don't do it justice. After grafting on the TRD flares, and it suddenly is over-styled.
The Silverado has the prettiest quarters, body colored mouldings, et al, but the extended cab, while spacious, doesn't blend the way the F150 does. Ford does this so well, sometimes you can mistake an extended cab for a regular. I think the Tundra extended cab blends nicely, and is a better looking truck than the regular cab.
The Ram, well actually has a very nice ride, and quiet interior. Has the greatest seat of all. But, it needs to be compared with Ford Super Duty. Styling is unique, love it or hate it.
Good luck on this one now!
I had posted my address for the first two years on this site. All I ever got was a bunch of morons writing me about how Ford stinks. Yadda yadda yadda..............I've also posted my real address but no one showed up....hmmm..must have been the roofing firm I own.......
I don't bash Toyota or others but I still keep my e-mail private because it gets tiresome deleting those unwanted messages.
As far as someone actually e-mailing you to tell you that you bought a bum truck...I think they have too much time on their hands. Can't see what you can accomplish by doing this.
I'm not saying that everybody should publize everything about themselve. Privacy should definitely be highly respected. I just kinda noticed that those who take the biggest swipes don't list theirs. (not saying that it's bad or good) That's all.
Oh what a feeling to drive less truck.....Toyota!
I can only suspect you have driven your Tundra's extensively lately. Misery loves company....:)!
19k miles on my Silverado and nooooo problems. No problems and getting 19 mpg with more horsepower than the Tundra....:)! Yeah, I have a real reason for being unhappy.
You can keep your [non-permissible content removed] cybershoulder for some other Tundra ownr singing the blues about his $30k Toyota mistake!
Are you a supporter of freedom of speech??? Let me remind you, this is the USA! We can say what we like! If you have a problem with this then why don't you go to one of those nice democratic places like China!
You may not agree with what others have to say but it's there right to say it! DON'T FORGET THAT, PAL!
I've noticed that the tundra owner are the most sensitive about their trucks? Are all you tundra owners really p*ssed off about your purchase or what?
rcoos
p.s. I don't have any problems with the Tundra, I think that it's a good truck, but I won't buy one.
I have to agree with others, what is it about a Tundra or a Tundra owner that want people to bash them versus Dodge(rs) Chevy-types or Fords?
KnK
You would be lucky if you ended up like me. I have been there, done that, seen that and continue to do so everyday. I am, however, long past the middle school insults and the "if you dont agree with me you must be (insert insult), (insert stereotype), (insert sexual orientation)" mindset.
PS Who is lvstang?
dcd,
You were smart not to respond to the "floored" Tundra.
The other day some Tundra got me while I was walking aside the road and the last thing I heard was the driver screaming "I work for Consumer Reports". Now I am dead. But I still enjoy the bashing posts, but beleive me, if you have to get run over, hope it's a Frontier...
