Replying to: ggesq (Jan 27, 2007 10:10 am) From the Corona to the Camry as No 1 was at least 30 years. From the Toyota pickup to the Tacoma is nearing 25 years. From the T100 in 1993 to the Gen 4 Tundra in 2117 would only be 25 years. All in good time.

Replying to: kdhspyder (Jan 27, 2007 3:45 pm) Let's see... Ohh... all the works (Toyota/GM/Ford/Honda) are done by non-union workers in the continent of USA! Right now I am looking to get a real1/2 ton, I like Chevy Silverado for styling/price proven 4-speed tranmission and Toyota for the 6-speed + reclining rear seats. But the hold out for me on Silverado is the AFM 6.0L engine, not sure if it'll last 100000 miles without any problem on the valve lifters. At the end I just need to make sure the truck I am buying will fit my needs, I can careless who makes it.

It amuses me to no end how people talk about the interiors of these trucks. It's irrelavent whether you want the stodgy interior of the Chevy or the more progressive interior of the Tundra (though, I'm not a fan of silver plastic). If your buying a vehicle in this category, your looking for capability and it boils down to powertrain. When it comes to powertrain, the Chevy is a distant second place. With a 6.0 liter engine that has a 4 second lag (Edmunds) to make its maximum horse power which still falls significantly short of the Toyota 5.7 liter, it really is no contest. On top of that the Chevy has a 4 speed transmission with dead spots in the power band (Edmunds). The 6 speed tranny on the Tundra will pull that monster to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds. This 0-60 time speaks directly to how it will handle a load under tow as opposed to the "sleepy" (Edmunds)powertrain in the Chevy. Chevy rushed its truck to market to take MTOTY. It brought a knife to a gunfight, and it's apparent they were outgunned. The tranny is critical when delivering the power of the engine to the wheels. How could GM even consider bringing a 4 speed to market when they knew Toyota had a 6 speed coming? Once again the domestics are asleep at the wheel thinking "Don't worry, the japanese can't compete with us in this segment. They are wrong, very wrong. Real truckers are always curious about the biggest, baddest truck out there. Even if they are loyal to domestics, most of them will be curious to drive the Tundra. The new Tundra is to big for my needs and probably to big for many current Tundra owners, but it will appeal to the legions of half ton domestic owners that feel/need to own a monster. Toyota is probably banking that current Tundra owners will find either the smaller Tacoma or the huge 07 tundra will meet their needs. We'll see. |

toyta gonna be #1, toyota gonna sell 200k units, Its gonna stand on its head a spit nickels and out perform everybody else ! What a laugh ! Its taken years to barely break the 100k mark. But the new excuse is they are gonna sell 200k this year............ Heck it took them a few years to offer a FACTORY installed trailer hitch ! Someday they MIGHT offer a factory snowplow prep pk. like the big 3 do ! PLEASE spare me on toyota wiz-bang 99 speed automatic transmission and the failure of other mfrs. not offering them yet (except Cadillac and Ford)! Put down the koolaid and take a trip over to the 07 camry problem thread(s) and read about the new transmission and its MANY complaints and issues! I need some of that koolaid !
