but the exterior (in person) is ugly!
 
In person? Well maybe when you are standing in front of it.

Front sonar for parking/slow speed maneuvering. There's been more than a few times when I wished my Titan had front sonars in tight spaces. It's hard to judge the where the front bumper is on a big truck.
 
Then you shouldn't be driving a truck. I have been driving a full size truck since 1990 and I NEVER have a problem. I can pull to within 2 inches of a wall or car in front of me without bumping it or seeing it. Learn to drive.

I can't argue this one, but later this year, it won't be an issue. The GM's will be using a 6-speed automatic. So, for the next few months, Toy has the advantage here. For me, a 4-spd will be sufficient since I only tow about 3500#'s and I have the 6.0l.

Its really hard to like the silvy/sierra to get the same capabilities you need to pay extra for a 6.0 and not have the same towing acceleration or standard safety features in the tundra.
 
why is it hard to like the sily/sierra because you have to pay extra for the 6.0? Is toyota giving the 5.7 for free?

the ext. cab 5.3 sierra is priced around the same as a 5.7 dc tundra. 6.0s runs for 3k more
 
Sierra/silverado with the 5.3 engine doesnt really stand out vs. the titan tundra and hemi which are priced around the same or lower. The 6.0 has less power and doesnt peak torque lower then the 5.7 tundra and averages 2-3 mpgs less then the tundra in most tests & has restricted power to extend drivetrain durability.

Thats odd, I just built a tundra with the 5.7 and a silverado with the 6.0 on their respective sites, and the tundra was almost 1000 more. No extra options just the engines silverado crew cab= 45400 tundra dc =46210 (canadian dollars)
 
& has restricted power to extend drivetrain durability.
 
you see that is the difference, assuming your explanation of the delay is to extend durability instead of the gm reason of fuel economy, what ever the reason it dosent matter 6.0 liter= proven workhorse... 5.7liter toyota= proven 1/4 mile champ for the next couple monthes anyway. if you need to put your foot to the floor to get moving (which is where this delay happens) than you need a bigger truck period. I pull a 6500lb trailer with my avalanche and have never needed to put my foot to the floor if i found myself doing this i would go to a 2500 silverado.

3k more?? Get a clue!! Funny, when I ordered mine, I got the 6.0 L76 package, which BTW includes MUCH MORE than just the bigger engine for a whopping $909.
It also includes External engine oil cooler, External Tranny cooler, SD Tranny, HD rear diff (which also has a rear locker) and 4 wheel disc brakes, which they all should have, so this isn't an advantage over Toyota, just mentioning it because it is included in the L76 pkg.
 
Does the Tundra's 5.7 have ext engine oil cooling? Ext Tranny cooling?
I know they don't off the rear locker.

"Real" Pricing by jreagan

Ok, Tundra shoppers, who can tell me how much you actually pay (forget msrp, invoice, etc, I want actual sales price) for a fully loaded Tundra 5.7 Crewmax.
