My buddy needed to borrow my truck to pull his tractor from one place to another yesterday. The Yota gasser could not handle it.

Anyway, that truck felt like driving a Tonka Toy after 6 months of driving Big Red. It just felt cramped and really low to the ground.

My point is.......I love my truck.


Edited to say Tundra..........not Tacoma

 

Ahh, so the tundra can't live up to all the commercial hype huh? Had to come borrow a real truck!

 

i think he drove the smaller toyota truck called the tacoma

 

No, it was the Tundra. I screwed up the original post and cannot edit the subject line for some reason.

In the Tundras defense it was not the new one. The one I drove was a 05 or 06.

 

ill pull that **** trailer and the tundra back up the side of the moutain!!!!!!

 

Wow a HD diesel pickup out towed a 1/2 ton gasser. Who'da thought? Someone call Fox News.
Hey next time I have a 54,000lb steel coil that needs hauled can I borrow your pickup.(I mean it does say "Heavy Duty" on the back)

 

Hey, Toyota advertises the 10K weight and stopping on a dime.

 

For the 5.7 V8 2007 models. The 05 & 06 models had a 4.7 with about 270hp. And they are a half ton. Not to be compared with 3/4 or 1 ton or MDTs.

 

They sure present them in that commercial like a "heavy duty" type truck. It's a good thing most americans are dumb and just watch TV. Toyota will sell a bunch of those ugly things.

 

I own a Tacoma and a Cummins and my Tacoma is only good for hauling butt across the dezert and the cummins does a great job of getting it there.

 

As does every other manufactuer. No one is going to advertise their truck as light duty, people want trucks to work hard. The Tundra is a great 1/2 ton. Its not a 3/4 or 1 ton pulling beast like a Cummins Ram, but it does what it is intended to do well.

 

Saw this picture on another forum and thought it was funny. I had to edit it so thats why theres a big blank spot

 

thats a chevy!

 

Thats the joke. The new tundra commercials make it seem like they can pull and do anything but then they use Chevys to pull their race trailers..

 

oh i know i was just saying
