Or read much period, this being the 3rd time I've posted this, I am not a car salesman. And, to repeat, no two trucks are alike, or will be treated alike. Therefore gear ratios are a factor, but not the final factor, in acceleration and/or economy. If you want a 4-speed over a 6-speed in your vehicle, raise your hand and be counted.

Replying to: anythingbuttoy (Sep 25, 2007 3:55 pm) lol i love edmunds... So many car enthusiasts.. Well ok lets see doesnt the chevy silverado 5.3 have cylinder deactivation of some sort? like dodge? Toyota doesnt have this on their 380hp tundra and gets the same or better mpg towing or not towing then a 5.3 vortec with 4.10 gears. Gears do matter but so does the engine . I would like to see GM put out their direct injected engines out already to see how they line up against toyotas direct injected. I dont expect much from toyotas specs for the 5.7 direct injected landcruiser since they are sand baggers. It'll be an interesting match when ford and dodge come out with their new redesigned 1/2 tons Cant wait for SEMA either

Replying to: drfill (Sep 25, 2007 5:00 am) "If you want 4-speeds please, take the 4-speed! Just don't advertise it as something of any particular value against a better tranny." Better tranny? Why, beacuse it has 2 more gears? Well, maybe if the reliability was there too, but since it's NOT, then I'd say the proven reliable 4 spd is the "better" tranny. You may want to spend some time over at TS convincing all of the several posters/owners who have had their 6 spds replaced, some more than once, and others with problematic replacements. Good luck!!! Let me guess, your dealership has not seen any of these failed trannys yet have they?

Replying to: drfill (Sep 25, 2007 10:52 am) OK, so are you a "Toyota Salesperson"? Or a "Toyota Motors Sales Consultant"? Do you now, or have you ever, sold Toyota vehicles? Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of public opinion. Especially if you're a car salesman. 1offroader
