#468 of 1965 Chevy by drfill Dec 21, 2006 (6:38 am)
A few points to ponder:     1. The are many, 100k-200k full-size owners, who are driving domestics/Tacos that have the Next Tundra on their radar screens. Doesn't mean even half will buy, but it will be investigated. Many were waiting for Toyota to offer a Hemi/Triton/Vortex competitor!     2. Toyota has about 500k+ current Tundra owners looking at Tundra 2.0 as well.     3. Toyota car owners generally move to the domestics to get the size/power they want, but become disgruntled with the trade-offs. Toyota can market to these defectors.     4. The 4.7 has almost as much power as the Triton 5.4!     5. The interior is a disappointment, and the grille is confusing, but the sheetmetal itself is tight, like skin- over-muscle.        6. Fleet sales will become more focused this time around.       7. Ford, Dodge, and Nissan are losing share, and GM and 'Yota WILL pick up the pieces. The Titan is done if it can't sell before the Chevy and 'Tundra arrive!     DrFill Replies to this message: kdhspyder (Dec 21, 2006 9:07 am)

Replying to: drfill (Dec 21, 2006 6:38 am) Concise and spot on for all of these points.   Ford acknowledged yesterday, NYTimes article that it was contracting and that Toyota should pass it in 2007 but it was also concerned about contracting too much where Chrysler also passed it. Ford is really really really cutting back; Taurus, minivans, Explorers, F150's, Wixom plant (?), domestic made Rangers in St Paul (?). It may be almost half the size it was 5 yrs ago.   GM is on a good streak; Kudo's to the Silverado for MT TOTY ( good job to chevy598 and your coworkers !), Acadia/Outlook, Aura/Malibu, hybrid initiatives and 2 mode system. Do something about the Cobalt!!
#470 of 1965 Edmunds forecasts for 2007 re: Tundra by ggesq Dec 21, 2006 (11:30 am)
Excerpt from the article:   "The Toyota Tundra, voted Edmunds.com’s Most Significant Vehicle of 2007, will take a chunk of large truck market share from the domestic automakers. This is a very profitable segment, so any loss in market share will have a disproportionately large impact financially. In terms of sales volume, Toyota will overtake Ford as the number two automaker in America by mid-2007."

Replying to: chevy598 (Dec 18, 2006 4:20 pm) Maybe thats why Toyota just took GM's share of Isuzu off their hands?!!   Now that the Own part of Isuzu they will will be able to use Isuzu dielse Technology   And use the Suburu plants that they bought the month before.

Replying to: chevy598 (Dec 18, 2006 2:58 pm) remeber you are not talking about a 40 year old Over head valve disgned engine your taloking about a Dual overehead vale design with variable valve timing probaly on both the intake and exhaust valave like the 3.5 in the Avalon and Camry.
#474 of 1965 Two best new Fullsize Trucks by iqbaldhillon2 Dec 22, 2006 (4:32 pm)
In my opinion the 2 best fullsize trucks (as of Feb 2007) will be the Chevy Silverado and Toyota Tundra Here's why    1.Both trucks deliver over 300 hp.    2.Both trucks will get 20+ MPG Hwy.    3.Both trucks can tow more than 10,000 lbs.    4.Can take more than 2000 lbs of payload.    But here's why I think why Chevy has an advatage against Toyota.    Better interior  Looks a bit more refined.    Here's were I think we can Toyota has an advantage.      Indegrated tow hitch  6 speed automatic transmission  Bluetooth Navigation Replies to this message: kdhspyder (Dec 22, 2006 5:21 pm)

Replying to: iqbaldhillon2 (Dec 22, 2006 4:32 pm) If the numbers are accurate it seem like a balanced perspective. The numbers and the performance will be telling but from the reports of those who've driven the new Tundra it seems accurate.
#476 of 1965 Re: Timing Chain vs. Belt [iqbaldhillon2] by 1972ck Dec 23, 2006 (6:32 am)
Replying to: iqbaldhillon2 (Dec 21, 2006 6:49 pm) Aaah...no. I think you misunderstood me. The "300/20 Club" means a full sized truck with 300 or more horsepower AND it's rated for 20 mpg or more EPA hwy. Not 320 horses. Toyota still hasn't released HP/Torque rates as of yet. Jan 8th at the Detroit Auto Show is where and when we'll know the exact #'s. I'm merely guessing/estimating the ratings from driving and experiencing the truck.

#477 of 1965 Actual Mileage Figures? by ddiggler Dec 23, 2006 (12:01 pm)
Replying to: kurt123 (Dec 30, 2003 11:25 am) Sorry but I did not see a section that I thought this question would fit in. Being new to this forum (not to the discussion concept) may I suggest to the moderators that it is a bit confusing. The topics need re-thinking, I did not see anything when looking to even start a new thread, thus I posted here. Threads that seemed to fit had this "Attention" and then they just had a link that dumped you back into the topic area.   What are the REAL figures people are getting as far as MPG city/highway for a 2006/2007 Tundra, V6 or V8 engines?   Currently I have a 1991 Ford F250, that served me well over the past years. Was more reliable then my 1986 Toyota 4X4 SR5, however after 180k miles the tranny went out and Im looking at a new truck. Im not crazy about what Ford offers today and Toyota is where I want to be. I see that they dropped a V6 with 4WD, did this mean they had problems and it was under powered? My goal is to find a model that has decent mileage and 4Wd.   Thanks Replies to this message: kdhspyder (Dec 23, 2006 1:47 pm) bsparks294 (Dec 25, 2006 9:48 am) dreasdad (Jan 06, 2007 10:08 am)
