#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!

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?

I have a 2003 Tundrs SR5 EXCab, auto, sportside, 2 wheel drive, TRD sprorts package. Recently a one time passenger asked me how I liked it and I told they I never had any trouble and it was great. We parked at a store, came out and took off. Guess what? Tranny wouldn't shift from 1st to second without running up to about 5000 rpms and jerking the foot off the gas it would shift to second. After an afternoon and evening of that, off to the dealer it went. Long story short and a week later, just picked up the truck with a remanufactured tranny. Bad news is it only had 43,000 miles and I drive it pretty easy. Good news is it was replaced under powertrain warranty. Never in life had a tranny go out anywher near that mileage. Hopefully, it was an anomoly. Replies to this message: 12ozcurls (Aug 29, 2007 3:48 pm) m6user (Aug 30, 2007 6:07 am) 12ozcurls (Aug 30, 2007 12:35 pm)

Replying to: m6user (Aug 29, 2007 9:53 am) not an anomaly, a somewhat common thing with that model tundra...   http://www.consumeraffairs.com/automotive/toyota_tundra_misc.html Replies to this message: m6user (Aug 30, 2007 6:07 am) 12ozcurls (Aug 30, 2007 12:35 pm)

Replying to: 12ozcurls (Aug 29, 2007 3:48 pm) I appreciate you providing the link but in it I could find only one consumer complaint about transmission shifting and it was not the same problem. I searched Edmonds forums for similar tranny problems and didn't see much about this either. So I guess I have to question that it is a "common thing". I know 4 other people that have 2002-2004 Tundras and none have had a tranny problem and they all have a lot more miles on their vehicle than I do. In four years this is the only issue I have had with the truck and the first time I recieved warranty work. The dealer supplied me with a new Camry SE to drive for a week and in general was very responsive. I just bought a Mazda6 the other night so I am not a shill for Toyota but I feel I have good luck with the Tundra and with the dealer. Thanks.

Replying to: m6user (Aug 30, 2007 6:07 am) yeah my bad, probably shouldn't have said common, others have reported problems with their Tundra trans with relatively low milage was hoping the link would help you out some..

Replying to: blackmbj (Aug 25, 2007 5:33 am) Highway veries between 23-26? yeah right, dream-on buddy. Unless you are going down hill both ways, or you have tail wind in both directions. TundraSolutions is such a BS site. Why would anyone in his right mind pays to be a member. Such BS.
