 I, too, am a Tundra owner, and love my truck. You won't regret getting a Toyota, trust me. Good luck with your purchase!

 

 

Hey, 00 Mod, sweet truck, man!

[J Francho]

13 mpg? Oof. I'm getting 19-22 in my GMC. I bet I get better performance numbers too. That said, it isn't as pretty as that whip! Sweet ride, Jeff.

Just got a new tundra back in September! I was always a gmc man but after having this tundra for awhile I am very happy! Only time will tell on longevity. It is better to have something and never use it then not to have it at all!

Jeff, do you like having the leveling kit? Thought about getting one put on!

[K_Mac]

I agree with the rest. I have an 18' 6" tin boat that is not nearly as heavy as most glass boats, and I still use the 4 wheel drive in my Durango from time to time. I can put my boat in strip pits with gravel ramps that I could not even think about with my 2WD pick-up. Having and not needing is far better than the other way around.

Hey do midgets pop out of the fenders and flash lights like on a runway to guide you in a parking space? That thing's huge looking

 

 

No Midgets, but I might as well be one!  HAHA.  I'm only 5'3''!!!

Yes and no.  I like the stance it gives it.  It does not affect the ride any, as it goes in between the front coils.  I like the fact of bigger tires.  That being said, I got better MPG without all of it.  LOL  If I had to do it over again, I would leave it stock.  More fishing $$$

I heard a knocking coming from the back of my truck the other day.  Turns out a Fiat 500 was stuck in the wheel well.

They bumped up the HP and tow numbers on the 2013 5.7. I've got an 08 I bought new. Has 90k on it. I get 13-14 on the highway @ 70  and 10-11 with the boat in tow.

I don't know ANYONE that gets the 4.8.  I have the Vortec 6.2L 403 hp/417 trq.  I don't think they make the 6.0L anymore.

[J Francho]

Wait, they do for the 3/4 ton line.

Seems the same hp and torque settings from my 07 to the new 2013's.  Mine has 93K on it and I love it.  It is my second Tundra and I wouldn't own a different truck!

Ahhh, not being familiar with the GM line anymore, I looked it up and those were the only V8 options I saw.  Crazy the 6.2 outperforms their 6.0L......

The 6.2 is a real cracker, performance wise, so is the 5.3 married to the 6-speed auto.  I think the 6.0 is just a HD workhorse.  The 4.8 is an absolute dog.

Oh man, my 09 Silverado only gets 11mpg in town. It has the 5300. Of course it has a 5" lift kit with Bilsteins adjusted up another 1" and 33 x 13's on 20's. I really need to do a performance tune on it.

 

Luckily I only live a block from work.

Im contemplating getting a diesel my next go round. (Some time later this year) I love my work truck and the mileage is much better than i would have thought. Any of yyou guys got any input?
