#61 of 1965 I still don't understand by i_luv_toyota Nov 11, 2004 (6:54 am)
Why Toyota eliminated the locking gas door from the Tundra starting in 2003 (my folks 02 has it). Aside from making the front end a total abomination (IMO), this is a very dissapointing thing Toyota has done to the Tundra since 03.   Hopefully things will change with the next generation Tundra.

Replying to: i_luv_toyota (Nov 11, 2004 6:54 am) Is gas theft really that big of a problem in other parts of the country? As for the 03 front-end, my only complaint is that you cant mount lights to the bumper. Expect styling to be like the new Taco, but BIGGER- probably even a steel bumper Replies to this message: spleck (Nov 19, 2004 5:08 am) kirstie_h (Nov 19, 2004 7:07 am) i_luv_toyota (Nov 22, 2004 10:59 am)
#63 of 1965 I would expect more than an 18HP increase by callmedrfill Nov 16, 2004 (2:20 pm)
From a 15% larger V8 engine! They may keep the 4.7 as a "small" V8 but the 5.5 should have 350HP. The 300HP in the F-150 is only adequate, with it's size and weight gain.     DrFill

Replying to: rosey4 (Dec 30, 2003 12:13 pm) i own a supercharged 04 tundra. the catch is you have to buy the supercharger seprate or when you buy the truck. im getting about 380-400 hp. in a 4x4, i leave lightnings all the time. i also tow a bobcat. with the traler it is a combined weight of about 8200lbs. the supercharger is a trd part that you can buy at your dealership for about 4800$. a company in florida called speed of sound has developed a kit also and are dynoing at the wheels around 550hp their kit is very relible and will run you about 5300$ Replies to this message: burningrubber (Aug 01, 2005 11:45 am)

"Expect styling to be like the new Taco, but BIGGER- probably even a steel bumper"   That would be awesome! A truck like the Tundra needs a steel chrome bumper. The 00-02 are the pinnacle of Tundra design currently because it has a chrome bumper. The 03 and up bumpers look to ungainly and plasticky.   The new Tacoma is a fantastic looking truck, and to keep that family resembelence going into the Tundra is a good thing.

Replying to: playswithmud (Nov 15, 2004 3:54 pm) Gas theft probably isn't as much a problem as someone pouring water in your tank. If you don't have anything inside your truck, do you leave it unlocked?   I don't so much need a lock on the gas door as to have a release on the inside of the vehicle like many cars. On my Accord, its a dual action lever for the trunk and fuel door that can be locked so that the valet key can't unlock it. On my wife's RAV4, the fuel release is on the inside. Not to mention this means the fuel door is flush with the vehicle and doesn't have flange sticking out for your finger.

Replying to: spleck (Nov 19, 2004 5:08 am) Worried about someone sabotaging your gas tank? Wow, must have a lot of nasty enemies!   One downside of the "no flange" fuel door, which I discovered the hard way, is if you're parked outside in an ice storm. This happened to me once - fuel door froze over, inside release couldn't break the ice seal, and I needed gas desperately. It's MUCH easier to get that puppy open if you've got a flange - you can chip away at it.

Replying to: spleck (Nov 19, 2004 5:08 am) I would prefer it to have a release on the inside, too. My 96 Avalon and my 00 RAV4 have them, as did my previous 91 Camry. But if those weren't options, I would like to have my fuel door be lockable, like it is on my folks 02 Tundra.   As to your question of locking the vehicle if there's nothing in it, yes I do. It's an old force of habit, I always lock my cars and leave the windows up (except for a crack during the summer, combined with the moonroof tilted to let hot air escape), even if I park in a secure garage. Always have, always will.

Replying to: reliability (Sep 29, 2004 3:10 pm) Hey.. there I still still holdong out for the 2006 model maybe a Diesel version.. See if your contact knows anything new with 2006 since they will be building them in San Antonio Texas..
#70 of 1965 New engines by one91mr2 Jan 15, 2005 (12:26 am)
Well, I'm gonna bet that the new 4.7L w/ VVT-i will be the base engine for the 2006 Tundra. A new 5.4L-5.6L w/ VVT-i 300-340hp, 390-425lb-ft V8 (my speculations) will be an option. For the 2008 model year, it's rumored that in late 2007, Toyota will release a Tundra Heavy Duty model grade with a turbo diesel rated at 390hp and 700lb-ft. Wow.
