Default tundra commercial

anyone see the new one where the guy holds up a 10 bolt ring gear (1/2 ton truck) then he holds up the bigger one.

theres the comparison of our rear end. just think 1" smaller.

yah i still cant understand why some of the most powerful cars gm has ever built put a rear end like the ten bolt in their cars. i want to line up the gm reps for the drivetrain and slap all of them.

have you seen the commercial where they test teh 0-60 times and the 40-70 times. the tundra has to make it before these steel doors close then he has to brake before he falls off of a cliff, and he almsot does. the commercial says actual test but i cant beleive it, the driver nearly died. either way they are really hyping up this new tundra

It was an actual test, but without the steel doors and cliff at the end

I kinda wanna take one out and beat the living **** out of it and see how it holds up compared to the new chevy's and dodge's. I'm also wondering if Lexus is going to put out a full size truck now, like ford did with lincoln, and Caddy did with their verson of the Avalanch. That way I would get paid to go out and beat on those trucks , the Lexus ones, if they do build them.

I'm appalled that a thread in here contains the words "Toyota" and "Tundra".

I work for Toyota...and one of the salesman took one of the new 5.7 Tundra on a beat run and pretty much blew it up. New motor Was going in today. Rumor has it that the price of the motor was a lil over $20k. I find that hard to believe but brand new motor limited supply could be true.

I doubt that. Ford/Chevy both have excellent full-sized trucks.

But anyway we won't know for many years to come. Mainstream full-sized Toyota trucks don't have anywhere near the market history that Ford/GM do, so long term reliability for the Toyota compared to GM/Ford remains to be seen.

I have always said...If you wanna buy japenese..move to Japan.


Now,you will get the nay sayers.."Oh..well its built in America...and I love toyota. Toyota is the best. I've got toyota hats and my wife has a toyota lower back tattoo..Toyota is #1"


So I reply" OK...so If i buy a entertainment center from Target that says Made in Chine,but I assemble it in my living room,does that make it Made in America?"
