Replying to: jreagan (Mar 02, 2007 2:58 pm) If I have to even discuss the idea of rim size with you, then you don't know wheels. That's fine, there are offroading packages on both vehicles -- and with "minimal" cost, no reason why Chevy shouldn't offer 18" wheels standard all around. |

Replying to: jreagan (Mar 02, 2007 3:06 pm) I'm wasting my time posting on this. Go read about the Tundra on Toyota's web site, don't worry you won't have your eyes burned by the web-site! If you can't see how more air bags has anything to do with the comparison then you have never been in a serious accident (and hope you never are). Why do you think more passenger cars have 8 air bags all around -- some even have an air-bag for the driver's knees. Skimping on safety is dangerous. All I'm saying is that the Tundra offers the same airbags that are standard/optional on the Silverado as standard all around plus extra side air bags. Tundra has pretensioners on their seatbelts as well. And the airbags are just as good as the Silverado's. I've read everything on the Silverado... judging from your posts, you have yet to go to the Tundra's web site. Go and take a look and then make posts, that will help move this forum along more quickly.

Replying to: pmusce (Mar 02, 2007 3:25 pm)  I thought all the arguments before were "too small". This is what I mean about the logic here... is being "in the middle" somehow the best? In any case, if you're concerned about the bed length being 3 inches shorter on the crewmax, you should mention that it is also 1.2 inches deeper on the Tundra on all models and even ground clearance is 1.6" higher on the Tundra on almost every configuration.

Replying to: belias (Mar 02, 2007 5:59 pm) But at what price? Shorter box and longer overall length!! For a little more rear seat space, which most people don't use regularly anyway. Fine, if you regularly carry adult males in the rear seat and can get by with the shorter box, then this is an advantage. This is not the case with me and most others.

Replying to: belias (Mar 02, 2007 6:26 pm) Give me an example of why this is better? People are criticizing Fords because their bed is also deep, which makes side-loading/unloading more difficult. BTW, the new GM's are also deeper than last models.

Replying to: jreagan (Mar 02, 2007 3:39 pm) "THE TOYOTA STAR SAFETY SYSTEMTM If a stereo system comes standard on an SUV, shouldn’t a safety system? Introducing Toyota’s Star Safety SystemTM, a combination of five safety features that comes standard with every one of Toyota’s five SUVs: Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control, Anti-lock Brakes, Electronic Brake-force Distribution, and Brake Assist. All designed for one purpose: to help keep the driver in control of the vehicle at all times. Because when it comes to the well-being of you and your passengers, Toyota has raised the standard. Vehicle Stability Control Stability Control, or VSC for short, helps prevent two factors that frequently cause drivers to lose control of their vehicles: front-wheel slip and rear-wheel slip. Traction Control Traction Control, helps maintain traction on wet, icy, loose or uneven surfaces. Like Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control applies wheel brake individually and reduces engine output to help assist the driver with control of the vehicle. Anti-lock Braking System Toyota’s Star Safety SystemTM for SUVs incorporates Anti-lock Brake System technology, also known as ABS. Anti-lock Brake System helps ensure that you’re able to continue steering during emergency braking situations. Electronic Brake-force Distribution Electronic Brake-force Distribution responds to driving conditions by optimizing the amount of brake-force that’s sent to each wheel, even below the level of ABS operation. This helps keep you, the driver, in control of your vehicle in both normal and emergency driving conditions. Here’s how it works. Brake Assist The way Brake Assist has been designed, you’ll probably never notice that it’s there. But it’s an essential component of Toyota’s Star Safety SystemTM for SUVs. In emergency situations, Brake Assist applies additional brake pressure so you can take full advantage of Anti-lock Brake System. All of the Star Safety Systems discussed — Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Anti-lock Brake System, Brake Assist, Vehicle Stability Control and Traction Control — are designed to help the driver maintain vehicle control under adverse conditions. When Anti-lock Brake System is activated, the driver should not release the brake while it is pulsating. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver steering input can all affect whether Vehicle Stability Control will be effective in preventing a loss of control. Please see your Owner's Manual for further details. "
