Nice truck but go for the quad turbonater option and feel the power.

Nice ride, I was lurking around the Toyota dealership looking at the Tundra. Did you get the one that has the full roll-down back window?

You guys may laugh but i seen a powerstroke turbo deisel smoke a stock 04 Z back at english town ..lmao....Turbo diesels get my respect. Beware of the black smoke .

majority of those damn diesels are all over built iron blocks capable of insane boost .

If it ain't a diesel, it ain't worth modding.

Cummins 6.7L, FTW.

Not to stir the pot too much, but I just read the the CR(consumer report) truck test in the September online issue and it was interesting.

The tundra was the top pick and "recommended"

According to the CR test results, the new 5.7 tundra it is a little faster than the diesel 2500 chevy and F250 when pulling a 7400lb trailer to 60mph.
Tundra 16.1 seconds, Chevy 17, Ford 18.9.

It smoked the 1/2 ton chevy and ford.

Chevy 22.6 seconds, Ford 24.1
These numbers do dispel a few myths.

I know The Tundra it not a 3/4 ton and not as great for a long heavy tow but I think this is pretty impressive.

CR's overall trip/mixed MPG for the tundra was 18. That is exactly my average.
The diesel F250 13, 2500 chevy 17,

1/2 ton chevy 18, ford 17.

One problem... CR doesn't take into consideration "modability". Add a $700 computer to a diesel and you're making an additional 100 HP and 250 Lb/Ft.

O I understand. Its just that, the Tundra doesnt have competition in the 1/2 ton market, so they had to compare it with something
