I've had products from Dodge (a Dakota), Ford (an F150), and Chevy (a Silverado 1500), and every one of them was a great truck...except the Dakota. It sort of sucked - but I liked it. The Tundra, however, is awesome, and it deserves a lot of recognition and respect. Hopefully Toyota will honor it with more investment and a renewed commitment.

I still like their style since the late 90's. I also like the looks of the 05-06 Tundra too.

I had an 89 Chevy that I absolutely loved...but it blew a head gasket (probably because I had my foot in it all the time). Icerunner - In fairness to Ford, the 6-speed was on the drawing board before the Tundra came out...but I think Toyota might have induced Ford to move their timetable up. Still, there's no disputing that Ford is the "big dog" in trucks and they make a helluva product. I like the Tundra better, but if the Tundra didn't exist, I'd probably be rolling in an F150.

Fix the problems they had with them and now their trucks have them. You don't want to kill your best seller with the new tranny untested. They did the right thing by using them in the Expeditions first. Unlike the Tundra went head first into this with a new 5.7 engine and this 6 speed tranny. I have 71,000 miles on my 07 CM. Still getting over 20mpg also and the best thing I have that towing power at my foot.

So, why not thank Toyota for your new 6 speeds auto Transmission in the new F-150.. As if it wasent for Toyota you would still be driving arounding a crappy 4 speed auto...ha-hah Not to mention giving thanks to toyota for your fake 11,000 pound tow rating.. (lol..i love marketing ) Funny same engine...? Yet they now all the sudden beat toyota by exactly 200 pounds...? (hehe) Hey Ford Lovers,

Unfortunately, like moths to a flame it will attract Trolls who will look to put down the best truck and on the planet. They know it, I know it, and you know it. They were hoping Toyota would have done a worse job of making a truck...E.g. Kind of like the 1st generation tundra. The problem is that the 2nd Generation Tundra turned out to be a "ASS KICKING segment Killer" with 381 HP and 400 torque ant a REAL 10,800 pound tow rating...haha .. And if that is not a REAL threat to Ford, Chevy, and Dodge... I have no idea what would be...? lol Your site is a positive resource for people who enjoy their vehicles.

I'm dedicated to visit this site on a daily basis. You are more than fair about things on here so It makes it intresting for both pro and con's. You have proven yourself not to be bias although you have been accused of that. I have to say I'm bias in what I have but I do know where I came from and what I had. I still say my 98 Silverado was the best truck I had. Just didn't have all the goodies with it. It was a baseline truck only with a two-tone paint. Just hated to part with it since it was totalled by an idiot not paying attention and causing a four car collision. Jason your website was the first one I ever visited for a Tundra.

Nice to stay in the loop on what's a head. I would like to see a section on "out the door" prices paid for the Tundra's just to see what others have paid and any tip they might have to negotiate a better deal on their purchase. Maybe, have a section on "Dealer Tricks of the trade".. (wink-wink) ?? OR A TECH authored section by Toyota techs maybe they can do write ups on what to watch out for and their opinions on how to best take care of their/our rigs. e.g Maybe a section for oil analysis results for Tundra's owner's using different oils (synthetic, conventional etc).. Tundra Headquarters can negotiate a rate/ deal (discount off normal pricing) with Blackstone labs or another testing lab so that site members can send their oil analysis results in and post them. Nothing gets people fired up like an "Oil War"..lol .. I just shot from the hip, great site.. keep it up! Great site, I like the subject matter, interesting choices and reads.
