This is a bit less than I used to get on my T100 but I was towing a much smaller boat then.
That's the fact, for those of you detracting the Tundra's hauling ability.
Chevrolet 1/2 ton - 9600 LBS
tundra 1/2 ton - 7200 LBS
Aint suprized any that them tundras be usin that same setup as that supra now. Based on them haul ratins, guessin them tundra mini-truck drivetrain parts not up to doin that "full size" haul. Good luck on this one now!
Grow up, man. Just because someone drives a certain model/type of truck does not make them a "yuppie", as you so often like to point out.
The Toyota was more money, but in my mind after months of comparisons, the slight bit more money involved was worth it for value and dependability.
Could not say that for GM, which was my second choice.
So, no "good luck on this one, now", just simply my opinion. Your on and on harassment of people is simply annoying.
2000 Toyota Tundra vibration/shake (Topic #1367)
Good luck on this one now!
Vibrations - attributed to early production tire and wheel combinations, and still an issue; transmission - harsh shifting; paint quality/durability; poor visibility from factory adjusted low beams; "thunk" noise from driveline; center console vibration; excessive door panel wear; door latching mechanism - adjustment issues; dash rattles - stereo with the 6 disc changer; factory horns less than adequate; noisy brake pedal; rear seating position.
Guessin I be missin somethin on that superior dependability now. Folks be payin extra to get these features? Hate too think what them ones be like if folks start workin em. Good luck on this one now!
here been bragin on: (this one aint funny now)
Just got news from my buddy today that the brakes failed on his 2000 TUNDRA while driving!Needed to use the emergency brake to stop the truck.He took it to the dealer and they state the problem as being a "BUBBLE" in the brake line.Anybody else experience anything like this?Got to admit,it is pretty scary to have the brakes go out on you when you're driving.
Now I got too be a worryin on gettin the slam from one of them ones. Folks best not be followin them big3 ones too close now, or ya may end up under one quick! Good luck on this one now!
for some reason isn't selling Reg cabs at all in
Indiana. Have found a hand full in Kentucky and
Ohio, but all are V6's. I wonder If this combo( Reg cab 2wd SR5 ) is available at
all anywhere, or if it will be available in 2001.
According to Edmunds the Combo is available.
I have found some 4x4's but don't need the extra
drive train and cost.
about Toyotas before Meredith scrubbed it. (had
included a p.s. for one of your favorite
antagonizers which, is probably why she did it).
anyway i come here from time to time to see what
i'm missing since i bought the chevy. had toyota
made a tundra longbed, i would have gotten it
instead. had a '99 Tacoma and loved it. i have a
great deal of respect for toyotas. mine never
gave me a lick of trouble.
read earlier post about ignoring you no whooo!
that's good advice. i mean really, GOOD LUCK ON
THIS ONE , GOOD LUCK ON THIS ONE NOW. what a
pathetic phrase. the only reason i can obviously
see that this guy comes in here to taunt everyone
is because his Silverado (or whatever he drives)
is always in the shop and this person is extremly
bored. when he starts posting, we should go do
something else for awhile like wash or service
our trucks that are'nt broken or vibrating and
maybe he'll get bored and go bother toys-r- us.
GOOD LUCK ON THIS ONE NOW!!!

HE KNOWS TO DO IS BASH TUNDRA MAYBE IF SOMEONE
GAVE HIM SOME PROBLEMS AND HE REALY DOES KNOW

First of all, how come when I was reading in the Chevy Silverado topics I didn't see trucksrme post in any of them?
Second, the above posting on bed dimensions, the Tundra's length is a short bed, and the Silverado's is a long bed, looks like trucksrme is trying to make the difference as far apart as he could make it so it would make the Tundra look worse.
Third:
"Vibrations - attributed to early production tire and wheel combinations, and still an issue; transmission - harsh shifting; paint quality/durability; poor visibility from factory adjusted low beams; "thunk" noise from driveline; center console vibration; excessive door panel wear; door latching mechanism - adjustment issues; dash rattles - stereo with the 6 disc changer; factory horns less than adequate; noisy brake pedal; rear seating position."
This is a topic at tundrasolutions about a Tundra owner that was chosen by Toyota and Toyota engineers are gonna drive his truck to see how the new Tundras are holding up. This was a list of everything that he could think of that has been commented on at tundrasolutions. He is gonna share it with the engineers. I think trucksrme thought this was problems on one Tundra. Check out: "Owners of Flawless Tundras" at Tundrasolutions for some good information.
This is to trucksrme, and more importantly, to people wondering about how Tundra's handle being worked.
"I run a farm in Western Oregon. As part of my farm is in timber I require my trucks to haul logs out, up rather steep inclines, in all kinds of weather conditions. The Tundra that I bought in January (SR5, 4x4) has become the work truck of choice. It has never even come close to bogging down or slipping out of the mud for that matter. I've owned a Ford and a Chevy and a few toys but I have never owned a truck like this. Screw the Silverado, buy the Tundra!"
"I had an interesting conversation this last weekend that might be helpful here. I saw a contractor friend of mine yesterday, and he got to see my new truck for the first time. He bought a Silverado 1500 S/B reg cab just before the Tundras came out. When buying his truck, he researched endlessly, so he thought he was getting the best to come for quite some time. He didn't know much about the Toyota. He thought it was just a quick upgrade to the T100. His first comment was, "It sure looks slick, but it isn't a REAL work truck." and proceded to start grilling me on specs. To make a long story less long, by the end of the conversation, he looked mighty sad. The most telling thing for me was having both trucks sitting literally side by side while we were comparing specs and seeing the fit-n-finish of the body, interior, engine, etc. Other than the shallower bed, lack of configurations and smaller dimensions (which I actually see as a plus), the Tundra shamed the Chevy."
"Oh, and one more thing. I smoked him when we were pulling away from my driveway, too!"
"I had a 97 1500 short bed, reg cab. It had a 5.7 litre, towing package which included a 3.73 rear end. My boat is fourwinns 258 vista, loaded with fuel,water, etc with trailer i way in at about 7900 lbs. Thats alot of weight! The chevy had more "GRUNT" out of the hole, but that is it. The tundra is so much smoother in ride and engine. That 5.7 sounded like a blender with ice in it at red line. Now the price i paid for towing that much weight was 2 rear ends, 1 transmission. I will see how the toyo holds up."
"On several occassions I've loaded a 1-ton pallet of field stone in the back of my SR5 4x4 and hauled it about 20 miles. I know that exceeds the listed payload and wouldn't recommend doing it every day, but my Tundra handled the job without a problem. It's done just as well with sand and gravel. Even when the springs are down to the stops it has plenty of power. So far (about 10K) it's a great truck."
GOOD LUCK ON THIS ONE NOW!!!!!!
Who WRITES like that? lol.
if you've had a chance to tow your boat i was
wondering if you could provide some
additional info on your experience.
7900 lbs is really working that truck.
how does it handle?
how far do you normally tow? flatlands or hills?
whats your mpg?
and most importantly, how easily does it pull
your boat out of the water? do you need to use
4wd?
-thanks slp77
have some of the problems that have blackeyed the
new Chevys.
look at post #327 again. it clearly lists the
Tundra as being the larger of the two trucks.
notice how i spelled 2. this is to confuse 'u
know whooo! judging by the way he writes i don't
think his parents ever let him off that tracter
to go to school. he clearly has to look up info
on the TWO trucks in order to post. therefore
this proves that he does not own either, but
wishes he had one but plowboys are devoted to
their tractors and dealers won't take them in as
trades so he's stuck with it.
anyway why come here and knock the Tundra? it is
a good truck, and i always say "buy what works
for you". as i said before i had the '99 Tacoma
and we worked the stink out of it without a lick
of trouble. who could ask for anything more.
...RED
you know whooo, is allowed to post.
"Other than the shallower bed, lack of configurations and smaller dimensions..."
So what ya really be sayin is them tundras be better cuz they got more shine too em. Folks who work them trucks be getin em for that size and configurations, not that shine now. Good luck on this one now!
"as i said before i had the '99 Tacoma"
Reckon that shine wore down on that 99, and ya was reachin for the next shiny one. Hope ya be enjoyin that Chevrolet this year, heard tell them new nissan trucks for 2001 have the shine, reckon ya be there next. Them yuppies be chasin that shine, year in, year out. Them that work em, keep em. Good luck on this one now!
e-mail (you know what that is don't you) a copy
of your language dictionary. it really is hard to
understand what it is that you're trying to say.
if you want, i can reccomend an adult school for
you. BTW do you have the Revell silverado or the
Monogram version. which ever one you have, let me
know and i'll tell you how to get measurements of
these and convert by scale. this way you won't
have to look up this info on internet.
Oh yeah hogboy, sorry about the big words.

You may be interested to know that apparently Chevy has greenlighted the production of the SSR concept. Could be the closet thing to the SS that the Chevy people will get. It should have a 6.0 in it.
I probably wouldn't own a "sport truck" again but I would like to see all the manufacturers hot rod out one of their trucks. I would love to see a Toyota Tundra Supercharged and beefed up a bit in the suspension. I would be willing to bet it would run close to a lightning. I don't think it would overtake it but It would be close.
Just rambling sorry.
worth haven. there's nothing like a dohc engine
windin' up. reminds me of the honda V65 i used to
ride. after that had the VF1000 euro style. it
got me in a lot of trouble. but still just the
thought of the tundra with that kinda
performance. my wife would leave me.

after reading his last post, i've come to realize
that he's ok but he is mentally retarded.

The other folks who have reported a similar problem have had replacement latches done through warranty. Supposedly, this is a known ailment and is explained on the Toyota tech line the dealers have access to. I think the original latches are plastic which may give a ground problem if they've cracked. See what your dealer says. Good luck.
