#78 of 101 Fuel system cleaner by smitty_522004 Jan 25, 2006 (2:25 pm)
I took my 2005 Tundra in for 30000 mile maintenance today. They wanted to sell me a fuel system cleaning to remove carbon deposits...etc from the injectores and other parts of the fuel system. It was over a hundred dollars and I passed. Is any one aware of a commerical off the shelf product that would achieve the same results?
#79 of 101 future tundras by jclem Jan 30, 2006 (7:39 am)
Does anyone know if the new Tundras are just going to be bigger, stronger "play" trucks like the Ridgeline and Titan or are they going to provide real work trucks to compete with Ford and GM?? Like f350 dually dump trucks and utility body trucks??

Replying to: jclem (Jan 30, 2006 7:39 am) I have a question. I've heard that over 90 percent of truck buyers never even come close to maxing their current pickup trucks ability. And everytime I see a dually or an F350, it's rare that it's pulling anything, let alone sumpin huge. Does a trucks stats have to account for the 10 percenters? It must and I understand that. I've got a friend who's owned several F150's and he's never lugged anything more than an aluminum boat for duck hunting and since he's had kids, it's just a really heavy diaper bag. More is better but I'm just thinking out loud. Replies to this message: jclem (Feb 03, 2006 7:11 am) coldcar (Jul 29, 2007 12:58 am) ustazzaf (Apr 08, 2006 9:49 pm)

Replying to: sideways (Feb 02, 2006 7:19 am) My guess is that that's a fairly accurate stat. A lot of the dually 350's or 3500's are probably dump trucks and stake bodies that do haul a lot of weight. Some, that still have the original p/u body, are outfitted with the "5th wheel" for hauling campers and trailers, but the rest are probably just because bigger is better. Personally, I need a work truck which I will outfit like a UHaul truck--big box on the back with "cab over", for all my tools and equipment. I've always had good luck with Toyotas(over 30 years) and I'm hoping the trucks can grow with me. My current '97 4 cylinder T-100 is WAY over worked!!

#82 of 101 Locking Fuel Door or Locking Gas Caps? by sandia01 Feb 11, 2006 (3:18 pm)
Will Toyota ever put a locking fuel door back on there Tundra's or make a locking gas cap for the Tundra's? With gas prices at a all time high its something Toyota should look into!

#84 of 101 STRONGER REAR SUSPENSION by richardts Apr 05, 2006 (3:10 pm)
DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF THE 06' TACOMA 'S REAR SUSPENSION IS ANY STRONGER THEN PREVIOUS YEARS. MY 1998 WOULDN'T HOLD MORE THAN 400LBS WITHOUT BOTTOMING ON THE RUBBERS Replies to this message: vincewood30 (Apr 05, 2006 10:40 pm)

Replying to: richardts (Apr 05, 2006 3:10 pm) I have an '06 and I'm gonna put 1 of my work trailers behind it just to see how it holds up to the weight. I have a 5 X 16 pressure washing trailer that holds 550 gallons of water. Even though it's only got 150 or so gallons in it now I just curious to see how it sits if my van was to ever break down and I had to pull it on a emergency basis. My trailer right now weighs about 3,500 lbs the way it's sitting.

Replying to: jclem (Jan 30, 2006 7:39 am) The new Tundra will start appearing in Dec of this year. It will have the 5.7L along with the 4.7L and the 4.0L V6. A diesel is being developed in TX as well as Hino opening two plants in NA.   The vehicle in Dec will be the one debutted in Chi and on the website. It's the Access Cab but it will be as big as the Double cab is now. The Quad cab will be Apr 2007 and it will be the biggest truck on the road.... '01" under commercial width allowances and in at least two bed lengths.   As I understand it'll take a snow plow in the front as well.

More is better but I'm just thinking out loud   I guess I am guilty of overkill, but the occasional time I do need the increased capability, it is nice to know it is there. I had a 3/4 ton that never carried more than the shell on it's back, but when I needed to haul a load 1200 miles from home, I didn't need to worry that the unexpected load would leave me stranded. I also drove a 1970 1 ton GMC for a while. It was a daily driver that never carried more than me and the 2 kids, but when I threw a camper on the back and didn't get any sway or bounce going through the mountains, I knew I made the right choice. Kinda like insurance. You hope and doubt you will ever need it, but when you do, it is a welcome site to know it is there.
