Canada Followed a new Tundra on the QEW Gardiner Expressway

Sorry, I got no pics, since I didn't have my camera with me, nor was it safe to take pictures while driving But it's a silver mica one, and I think it's a 5.7L. At first it was in my rear-view and I moved over to the middle-lane cuz it's coming up fast. The Tundra passed me and I started following it. A bit later it was tailgating some slow ass douchebag who was hogging the left lane, until at one point that douche moved over. It was quite funny to say the least.


Anyway, I can't fathom how huge the new Tundra is. The roof of my little hatchback (which is a relatively tall car for its size) only goes up to about the belt-line of the truck (the bottom of the side window per say). Fucking gigantic, love it though.


The whole time I was following the Tundra, I was trying to observe the rear-end for any erratic suspension and bed movements, while keeping an eye on the road LOL. And to my surprise the rear-end was handling the notoriously bad and bumpy road surfaces of the QEW Gardiner Express gracefully. The entire journey of me following the Tundra (going East, from the first major off-ramp to the Lakeshore Blvd to where it becomes the DVP) I never once saw the violent bed-shake that some people (and those Ford's "propaganda" videos shown) had said to witness or experienced. The entire truck just tracked straight and true, as if those very bad bumps weren't there. If you know the Gardiner Expressway, then you'll know how bad the road surfaces are.


And I doubt that Tundra driver even knew I was following him, since the tailgate is quite high and I think my hatchback was hidden behind it

I used to live in Mississauga about 15 years ago and when I seen the QEW Gardiner EXP it brought back memories. Just thought I would share.
