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.

Everyone is very impressed with your opinion, Harry. Thanks for the time
and effort. You are a very neat guy.

You succeed, and I'll send flowers to the nearest landfill where your
funeral is held. I promise.


Gosh, did my post to Harry upset you in some way, Doug?

I'm just trying to show him another way to spend his day. At least he'd have
a chance at closure, ya know?

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.

You've said that in the past, if I recall correctly. Will you keep your
promise this time?

Hey, if you are looking for non-boating losers who post nothing of value
here, add herring, "reggie," dan, and a couple of the other turds
floating in the holding tank.- Hide quoted text -

Awww, Harry, don't worry. You are still my favorite centerist
democrat He's the first person I've plonked, but I google so it is
only a virtual plonk. The guy is just not right, and I first and
formost am here for entertainment.
