I own 3 Toyota’s two are Tundra’s first gen a 2000 access cab 4×4 4.7v8 and a 2005 DC 4×4 v8-4.7vvti. The wife has a 4-Runner 2002 4×4. I pull either a Bigfoot 17 ft travel trailer or my Bigfoot 20ft 5th Wheel Travel Trailer. Toyota builds trucks like International Harvester use to. I traded a super duty F250 Ford for a Tundra. The Ford was not a truck just like Chevy and Dodge. Toyota is far ahead of the others in engineering and development. Keep up the good work Toyota.

Maybe his Tundra is a yellow short bed…

Did we just get a bait and switch pulled on us?

“I was taking about the F-250, not the 150″

Apples and oranges, We were having an apple conversation, BUt I have to agree that ORANGES make much better orange juice than Apples do.

I just found this site and am posting for the first time. It seems pretty childish of everyone to continue the bickering. A guy likes Ford and one like Tundra, so what. I have a 08 Double cab 5.7L 4X4 Tundra and a fleet of Superduty’s gas and diesel, so what’s the problem. The Tundra rides really nice and serves its purpose but I wouldn’t want to beat on it like I do my fleet of HD trucks. In return my HD’s drive like a refrigerator but will take a beating day in and out, and believe me my employees put them through the paces. Every truck has its purpose. I tried a Tundra before trying to replace HD’s with it. It will be the last one I own unless they change things. They are not as durable as they make you think. I know you all are going to say they are tow different trucks but keep in mind half are 250’s with 5.4L. So in all reality the Tundra should be better. It tows more but has less payload. I have tried to complete the jobs of the 5.4 250’s with the Tundra. It seems that the Tundra’s sheet metal is thinner, bumper dents really easy, ripped off the front air dam trying to use the tow hook that broke OFF. I’m always worried about turning off the side air bags because the slopes of the terrain will set them off. The Tundra is a Truck I would use to take my wife to dinner in but not one I would risk my own or my employees paycheck on. The Dungeons and Dragons guy, “CUTE BOAT” (must be a sailor with some sugar in his blood, which is fine) and Mini-van Guy backs up my thoughts. Now I know why everyone hates my Tundra just as much a I do, thank god its a TAX write off!

My boat trailer has hydraulic brakes – no need for a brake controller.

I’m glad I can amuse you…. At least I can honestly say I had the other trucks before. 98 Silverado probably the best truck I had till it was hit and totalled. 03 F-150 constant computer problems and fighting with the service/admin/managers. 06 Silverado LT3 the worst truck I ever had along with the worst service anyone should ever have to endure. 11x replacing headliner and being accused by factory rep of pulling it down till he was proven wrong. Not to mention $36,000 truck with both taillights falling off while driving down the interstate. So I already endured the rest now I got the best. Headliner doesn’t fall off. Computer works great. Taillights are still on. I guess that’s says quality. Instead of quantity I prefer quality.

I’m over here cracking up because this troll stuff is amazing. I need to take some psych courses and come back to this particular post to understand the human need to combat against a Tundra site. Keep it coming guys. I’m actually skimming enough to get good points about the truck industry and great laughs at the expense of others.

Thanx4d apparently you forgot what you just mention. The reason the Ford trucks were there because the load they were pulling was over 10,000lbs so it would have been against the law to tow the spiral climb. As I told you and you apparently don’t read most people don’t tow the 10,000lbs like myself. I just tow the boat to go fishing. No need for a trailer brake. Most people have no need for it SO AGAIN WHY BUY IT when you don’t need it? Are you into wasting money? When I need one I will buy one. Easy to hook up. Just like a reverse camera…. OOohh yes you don’t have one of those. Have fun getting out and keep checking to see if you’re lined up right. Thanx4d thatcommercial still plays so I don’t get where you’re going with that. The problem you see is that a Ford can’t do that well maybe go up but can’t come back down. For the CEO statement that’s a good motivation factor. I know you will say something dumb about now but you don’t know Japanese history in order to motivate your crew. Also wasn’t it Ford that changed a name of a car from the Five Hundred to the Taurus in mid stage? Thanx4d I guess what you do for a living is way more impotent than what I do for you to tow all that. Notice the impotent wasn’t mispelled. AGAIN for you who can’t read most trucks out there AREN’T TOWING 7500LBS. Are you an ignorant one or is that what it takes to make you see. Thanx4d thanks for the compliment about my frame of my truck Apparently I know how to take care of one as to not worry about it. I guess your Ford hasn’t the capability since you feel so inferior to a Tundra. I don’t blame you. I was that way too. Then the light came on and now I’m doing quite well with my cute 18.5 foot boat and yes I know you envy what I got for the reason you commented on it. Sorry Thanx4d I work smarter not harder. I will be able to move around when I’m 60 and I hope you can too. I enjoy my truck while you have to curse your’s.

I wish I could say that I am surprised at the response to this article but I’m not. When you gave us a preview in the last article I thought, Pandoras Box. It was a good article. My wish is that people could come in and have civil discusions about the subject at hand. OK, That was a lie. Send in more trolls, this is getting fun.
