Toyota scrambles to get the kinks out of Tundra's launch

[nodrogkam]

well if that's sarcasm i dont understand. If you've got a family or carpool or whatever that involves carrying people, but work in construction or other various jobs that require a truck, it is indeed the most practical.

I wont go into further detail. This is just my opinion, and just like you, i am entitled to my own.

WRONG... We got a new business use only truck on order and with the road miles we do, mileage is quite important.... No business wants to needlessly throw money down the drain..

And the V-8 is needed for an equipment trailer, that when loaded is 6000 - 8000 lbs..

Just like I thought; The 5.7 liter Tundra is flying off the shelf while the lesser Tundras with the 4.0 and the 4.7 liter are selling at a slower pace. I hope Toyota now turns its attention on the 4.7 liter engine. Hopefully it could be bored and stroked out to 5.0 to 5.2 liter and horspower jumps from the meager 271 to 320 to 330. The performance gap between the 4.7 and 5.7 is too great in my opinion.

No obviously you don't know what your talking about. One similarly equpied might have a sticker that is within 1K of the 19.5 that he's talking about. But when you consider dealer discounts exc, you can get them with that equpiment 24/7 for 15 or 16K, now if you want a manual transmition and just a radio, you can get them for 12-13K

That depends on if your using the bed, or the cab, the cab is great right there with the Mega cab, but the bed is a short shortie, which is fine if your main use is a pasenger car.
