shape of eyes and headlights
same color and shape of grille and muzzle
lighter gray ring around muzzle is like the chrome around the grille
both look bug-eyed like they are looking in two different directions
similar body color
the nose is the Toyota emblem on the grille
widened fender flares look similar to the puppy's stance
black ear tips and black mirrors

i like those new tundras the 5.7 has almost 400hp in a stock truck!!!!! and they look like a huge truck when parked by a ford chevy or dodge they make em look like lil bitches compared to the new tundra and did i say almost 400hp with a 6 speed auto, they raised the bar really high compared to their competitors

Yeah and with all the weight they saved by not putting a frame in the thing I bet it's real fast.

thats funny cause it will out tow, out drag, and out power any dodge, chevy, gmc, nissan, or ford gas truck on the market with that frame. hahah. the frame is plent strong and its pretty muck same same design as a f-250. Go drive one then tell me what ya think...Ohh and it is funny when I pul up next to other trucks...They seem so small. haha

Thats because it should be compared to a 3/4 ton. It is near the same size and weight, so no duh it would make 1/2s look small. They brag about having big *** brakes and being larger than the other 1/2s, blah blah. If I took a 1500 Silverado and compared it to a Tacoma...I believe you get my point. We don't care how great you think your Tundra is, my Z71 gets the job done for me and until otherwise Ill stick with it.

If you want a truck for racing get a Lightning or a SRT-10. Otherwise get a car or a bike. How fast an empty truck is really doesn't matter to people who use trucks for their intended purpose. Just my opinion thats all

The RC Tundra is right on par with a stock Lightning(check vids). Running 13.8 stock at near 100mph traps, is pretty strong for a truck without FI. Plus it tows nearly 3-4000lbs more than the truck you mentioned, while getting 18-20mpg.

lol @ the jackasses worrying about how 'fast' stock trucks are. This is a performance site, who the f-ck cares what things run stock? Hell, everything feels slow to me until it is in the 12s at the very least. I don't know of any trucks running 12s stock.

Tell me this pug-lovers, what happens when you finally grow some nut hair and begin to modify these trucks? Which gas engine trucks are the best then?

Neither dad or I really liked the look of the new Tundra very much however my dad tends to keep his trucks for quite a while so he is going off the assumption that they continue to run well after many many miles.

My dad got a very good deal on his Crew Max with the 5.7 in it. He didnt get the Texas Edition as the 18"s that came on his have a much smoother ride. His also came with screens in the head rests and every option available without a sunroof.

Is it a gorgeous truck, not really but the billet grill that he put on it helped.

BTW, it was built here in Texas. Only the money goes overseas.

I'm pretty sure that you know where he lives, you know that you are always welcomed at your uncle's.
