2007 Tundra Dash

[TRD Guy]

I am about to purchase a new Tundra. I have a question, can someome post pictures of the dashboard and guages? I would like to see what they look like lite up if possible. Thanks in advance. BTW this is an awesome site!!

Click on my sig. I have pics on cardomain...

and incase you are lazy:





Take note that I don't have the Optitron gauges (that are white backlit and have the trip computer on the cluster. My trip computer is in the middle display that shows the temp).

You can get it with white backlight??? How so? What package?

[mhadden]

You have to pay an extra $8000 to get the "Limited" trim...it's the only way to get the white backlit one, unfortanutely (because that's what I wanted). I thought 8g's was a lot, but you get heated leather seats, sunroof, nav, the white gauges and auto climate. I just couldn't justify the extra money on those creature comforts when the SR5 does an awesome job on impressing me.

Is that a trans. temp gauge under your tach? Yall have alot more switches and buttons than we do!!

What is the "S" next to your D for your gear indicator?

Could that be SLOW? I mean a crawl-gear for towing on 1st gear?

I fiqured it was some sort of a granny gear, usually it would be an "L". Just curious, I really like the look of the new Tundras!!!

The "S" stands for "Sport" and the little LCD right under it shows you what "manual gear" you're in. It's nice to have a auto and "manual" shifter

Nah, I love my truck. But every time I see the new Tundra this little bastard in the back of my mind says "Damn, those things are nice"!!!

Oh, then us 2nd Gen owners just need to post some more pictures It's nice having the sequential shifter...when driving in D down the highway and someone slams on their brake in front of you, you can literally tap it over into "S" and it starts engine braking...pretty nice.

And as for the low comment...when you put this thing in 1st 4LO, it crawls a hell of a lot slower than the Taco did (because of the rear end gearing (4.3) and the first gear (3.33)

^^^Right On!!!!^^^

What are the buttons on the left hand side for? (Info, select, reset)

[mhadden]

For a simple trip computer located where the time and temp are displayed. Shows AVG MPG, INST MPG and Range. The Limiteds get that on the cluster and can customize door locks and light control just to name a few.
