Bone stock 07 Toyota Tundra Regular cab with 5.7 V8. Ran a 14.2 @ 97mph in the 1/4! Yay! :) This was the worst run of 3, best was a 14.181!
holy hell 14.2 from the factory

And what does one of those cost you? For the same money you could buy a new GM, do a few mods and blow the doors off it and have an American vehicle keeping more US dollars in the US. Yeah, I know, many of the dollars will go out of the US but a larger percentage stays here.
I agree greg, but now I have to look out for these on the street. That is kinda fast for a toyota... but i guess a reg cab silvy with a ls2 would be faster.
yeah but look how disgusting they look. I mean I dont see any kind of exterior mod that could make that truck look any cooler. Other than dousing it in gasoline and throwing a match on it
werd. just like the hemi ram... heavy, and overpriced. also ugly as tylers sister!!! :haw:
I will always prefer Made in the USA! I don't care what the media says, I know my GM product is better! Whenever I buy anything I always look for made in the USA first, especially tools. Unfortunately that is getting harder to do. Toyota can keep making their commercials, about how tough their trucks are, but I still won't believe them.
Problem with the toyota its fast stock but it'll be just like the dodges hard to mod and no tuning software available. TuRD is making a supercharger for it, you could put intake, exhaust, and possibly headers in teh future, all that would net you a high 12 second truck but thats all you would be able to do to it.
Could you imagine doing a cam swap..or cams as it may be.I wouldnt want to work on that POS.As quoted from the movie Christine...You cant polish a turd!
and its dual over head cam
if they made a loppy cam for it, that would empty your wallet fast :lol:
i love the people that drive them. they are so typical. they always want to race and think they are the best. when me an my brother were driving on the 35 one night a new chevy truck and a new tundra were going at it. at the time my brother was stock and lost to both but the chevy beat the tundra. a few weeks later he met the same chevy again an blew the doors off him with the hyper tech. he hasn't seen him since the nelson tune.
Well for all the Made in the USA people, the New Tundra is made in San Antonio, and im not trying to start a war.
I think the performance is pretty amazing for a bone stock truck, a bone stock hemi reg cab dodge can only do a 15 flat.
But you take a reg cab 08 Silverado, with the 6.2L L92 and the 6 speed auto and even the 3.42 rear end and it will be a mid 13 sec truck all day long, and look better doing it, and get better mpg and when it comes time to start modding, there is alot left in the truck.
I priced a reg cab tundra with the 5.7 and a 6 speed auto, and with just a mid level trim was 25K sticker, and im sure dealers are marking them up.
Those Turds have also been breaking over head cams left and right, almost to the point were they might have to have a recall.:LOL::LOL:
i wouldnt even consider buying anything other than an american car or truck
They run badass stock. The thing about an american truck is the profit off the truck goes back into the american economy, this foreign truck while americans build it the profit goes back over the Japan.Quote:

is it me or does the roundness of these trucks make it look like a vw bug(new one). i met a guy racing one at temple one time(jeff u may have been there) and he was fast stock. i know that jim beat him running a 14.1 but jim wasnt stock. the fact that they do have major engine problems from the factory is really the main thing wrong with them along with styling. if u want quality toyota better look at one thats built pre-1998 :)
Ive seen a blue reg cab rollin arround town quite often in Cedar Park. Guy is always on the phone and never uses his blinker. It looks huge compared to My truck, and Mine is an EC too.
Kurt, they have been having cams breaking, but not in high enough numbers to issue a recall. The one thing has has been breaking on them is the rear propeller shaft in the 4WD trucks--they have had enough (at least 16,000) of them break to issue a recall. Another problem that has been reported in high enough numbers is the TC. It is been having problems disengaging, causing horrible drivetrain shudder... The Tundra has been kicked off Comsumer Reports "Recommended" list because of the several issues they are having because of the projected 'lower than average' reliability scores... But guys, I really don't care for these trucks at all...those bastards are so damn ugly, they could scare the chrome off a bumper...Quote:

He's weird, he has no desire to go fast:LOL:, so I know its not because he was doggin it, besides hauling a trailer. As soon as the warranty is up he will be getting rid of it.
