Replying to: jimsevers (Mar 28, 2007 5:41 pm) The side/curtain airbag and stability contro issue is far more important than the 4 vs 5 stars. Let's just keep the subject in perspective. Whenever anyone brings up the NHTSA test on one Reg Cab model I only ask why GM and Ford don't even offer S/C airbags and stability control on all their Reg Cab models. The level of risks aren't nearly the same. So by 2010 the the others will finally reach the safety level of the Tundra. I accept that. |

Replying to: kdhspyder (Mar 28, 2007 5:33 am) kdh, all I can say is hogmuckledung to that silly statement. Anyone knows, or should know, that in a three-way tie for FIRST, the first three spots are taken, and the odd man out is forth, also known as LAAAAASSSSSTT. Dead last. Then there is the issue of side and curtain airbags (which you conveniently neglect to mention) and stability control. We haven't ignored it. My Silverado has traction control and side curtain airbags. And I paid for them, just like Tundra owners. No problem. Point-of-fact: No one on any forum here or elsewhere has been able to point out one single advantage to the FBF in the performance of the truck. None, Zero, Zilch. Once again, hogmuckledung. The fbf is superior whenever conditions are rough. A non-fbf is MUCH worse in torsion, meaning more of the flexing stresses are transferred to the body instead of being absorbed by the frame. Now, this is not a big deal over the short term, but if the flexing cycle is repeated thousands of times, as it is in my vehicles, it induces rattles and other nuisances. These are not fatal to the truck (or occupants), it's just annoying. But Toyota is doing it because it's cheaper. My older Toyotas were actually both superior in that regard than the new Tundra and Tacoma. But hey, if you never or rarely use the vehicle where the road is dirt or the pavement is uneven it may never be a problem. BTW, you conveniently failed to address my discussion of fuel economy. Is there a problem? I gave an honest, recent account of my experience with the 6.0L Silverado. Why doesn't a Tundra owner tell us about his/her mpg in a similar situation? Strange that there are basically NO posts about that tender subject. Keep in mind, my ENTIRE POST was just a response to belias' rhetorical excess wherein he claimed that the Tundra was as good or best in every category that makes a truck "good". I was just pointing out the error of his statement, that's all. You seem to be really sensitive about my reasoned, rational response to belias' unsupportable claim. Is that a problem? You continue to refer to "being in heaven" with the OnStar. I notice an obsession with that idea. Does anyone else notice that? Perhap an intervention is warranted? And finally, what is this weird obsession with jreagan and his 53 aliases? I want you to know, I'M really jreagan. MWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA! 1offroader
