Replying to: idntnvu (Jul 25, 2007 8:23 pm) yeah probably true...tough to find a good piece of machinery these days...you might want to check out the tundra brake problems forum to make sure you got all your ducks in a row, would hate for you to get into trouble:   http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/WebX/.f0bb7df/0

Replying to: idntnvu (Jul 25, 2007 8:23 pm) Great way to look at it... A good friend of mine has pretty much convinced me to steer clear of the GM twins based on two disappointing experiences with GMC Sierras. That and the horror stories that come out of the dealership that he works for (service manager).   Stupid stuff, repetitive issues along with some serious, costly things that happened to both of his trucks. Tranny replacment, rear axle whine, O2 sensors, intake Manifolds, Int. steering shaft replacement, multiple early brake jobs, all of this happened on both of his trucks (combined). Not to mention they were just cheap and chintzy...   So even his own personal service dept. couldn't keep him in the GM camp. Free fixes are still fixes no matter how he looked at it, it was still too much inconvenience than it was worth. So, he now drives a 5.7l TTDC. Didn't even give the new ones a chance...

Replying to: ppisano (Jul 23, 2007 5:15 am) I printed out all the codes that an '03 Tundra could report. Found them at TundraSolutions.com, but had to become a paying member, but that was well worth it for all the information I picked up from this site.

Replying to: dmarty1 (Feb 02, 2005 8:49 pm) I just filled my tank last night (17.38 Gal) and according to my ScanGuageII, I got 16.8 MPG on that last tankfull. All city driving, heavy foot, jackrabit starts.   My highway varies between 23-26 MPG, and I'm REAL happy about that.   How did I get there? Lots of performance parts $$$$   CAI, TBS, Headers, Y-Pipe, Cat-Back Dual, Computer Chip, Electric Fan, ScanGuageII to monitor.   Most info I got from TundraSolutions.com, most of the parts from PerformanceProducts.com. Runs nice and smooth, power to spare, will smoke those big 17 inch rear tires, even after a rolling start.

#1895 of 1957 Re: anyone really tow anything with a Tundra? [pawly] by Dave Aug 28, 2007 (1:57 pm)
Replying to: pawly (Jul 14, 2000 6:33 am) If you're talking about the 5.7 I just returned from a vacation in Mamouth Lakes, Ca., max elevation 8500 ft., pulling a trailer with about 9,400 lbs. loaded weight. My Tundra Double Cab did exelent on hills (65 mph) super comfortable. MPG was only 8 1/2 but that was all my lifted F350 diesel got on the hills pulling the same trailer. Talked to another new Tundra owner who said that's what he got pulling an 8,500 lb trailer 2,600 miles on a vacation through Colorado. I have gotten around 14 1/2 mpg pulling my 5,200 lb concrete pump combination city/highway.(No windage on it like my travel trailer) Best I've done not towing straight highway is 17.12 mpg. Overall I'm super happy with my new Tundra. Just wish they had made it about 6" higher!
#1896 of 1957 '02 Tundra 4.7L V8 by retrozone1 Aug 28, 2007 (5:56 pm)
Thinking of buying a 4200# travel trailer. Wish to pull it in the mountains without too much of an issue. I have a towing package (I guess that means it has the wiring and a bigger transmission) and it is an extended cab if that matters.   Any ideas?
