Let's put it this way, if you want my Tundra you will have to pry it out of my cold dead hands. It's a great truck - rides well, quiet, nicely finished, reliable, half-way decent fuel economy (for a V8 gas truck). According to MSN Auto, the User rating places Ford F-150 #1, with a 7.7, the Ram w/ 7.6 and Tundra w/ 7.3. Consumer Reports rated the old Tundra their number 1 rated truck. Edmunds and Car Connection rates the F-150 the best rated used truck to buy, while Consumer Reports rates the Toyota as the best used truck to buy. It is obvious, that the only thing everyone can agree on, is don't buy a GM truck. I drive a GM truck. Diesel, 19 mpg on the freeway at 75 mph. My Son in law drives a Tundra. Nice truck, but does not ride as near as nice as my Chevy 2500. Just feels tinny. Plus my truck has no roblem towing the 4400# of boat and trailer while hauling a 1400# camper. Did it the last couple of days. Averaged about 12.5 mpg, while towing the boat into a remote lake at 4000' elevation and up and down a lot of steep curvy road. Your posit is absurd. If you wanted a fair comparison, you'd have to compare the Tundra with a Chevy truck of similar class and capacities. A close friend has a 2007 Silverado. Compared to the Tundra I used to own, it is a roughly finished, poorly riding p.o.s., and noisy. I might buy a truck this year to go along with the new trailerboat. The first one on my list is a new Tundra with the smaller V8, followed by the Ford F150. I wouldn't consider a Dodge or Chevy-GM truck. I'm unimpressed with their engineering and quality of assembly. And a Tundra or F150 would work well to tow a Parker boat 2 miles twice a year. |

It sure beats chasing OT messages all day long.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Well, I gotta' follow Wayne. I decided to do a profile read and see if you ever post on topic, anywhere, and you basically don't. Over in a Toyota group, I found this statement by you and it proved to me that you not only don't know ****, but you are an idiot too. Here is your quote: "In everyone's opinion. I'm not saying Iraq was Disneyland before we got there, but this free-for-all certainly did not exist. If you disagree, show me information to prove otherwise. Saddam's brand of brutality made our presence look like a kid's birthday party. " You start by telling someone with a different opinion than you, he does not!? And finish with the most ignorant, uninformed statement I have heard from you to date. Have you seen the video of men, women, and children being thrown off buildings hogtied, or the burned and disfigured gas victims or the attacks on the Kurds.. You are an idiot. Buh, bye asshole Virtual Plonk I will not address you anymore, not even if you decide to make an unschedualed boating post, as I doubt you even have a boat. |
