Replying to: toyota4life (Oct 07, 2007 4:56 am) So, in summary, are you proclaiming the 1/2 ton Tundra superior to the Ford SD's and Chevy HDs in capability? Please say "yes" so I can have a good laugh for the day. BTW, I call BS to your entire story. Replies to this message: toyota4life (Oct 07, 2007 10:30 am) obyone (Oct 07, 2007 4:44 pm)

Replying to: h20 (Oct 06, 2007 6:35 pm) I know you are not fond of toyota. But could you tell me if you like anything about the 07 SR5 crewmax 4WD tundra? This is not a dig at you I am just curious. h20 btw this is for anythingbutoy Hmmm, let me think? Nope. Not when comparing it to the GMT900's. There simply is NO comparison. The closest thing would be the engine, but based on my experience, I'll still take the GM LS engine. It is proven and keeps getting better and better. You asked, I answered, honestly.

#277 of 333 Re: Did anyone see the CR test of the 4 major full-size players [anythingbuttoy] by drfill Oct 07, 2007 (11:54 am)
Replying to: anythingbuttoy (Oct 06, 2007 11:11 am) Since I don't subscribe, or really buy CR, I'm not here to defend them. They have stated they used the 5.3 because that is the engine most people buy, and the 5.7 is the one for Toyota. My question to you is why was the Tundra the most efficient truck in the test? Stronger, faster, more safety features, roomier, and more efficient, sounds like a winner to me. I see the bias now....with eyes wide open.

Replying to: drfill (Oct 07, 2007 11:54 am) They have stated they used the 5.3 because that is the engine most people buy, and the 5.7 is the one for Toyota. What does popularity have to do with capability? You buy what you need. Right? My question to you is why was the Tundra the most efficient truck in the test? Stronger, faster, more safety features, roomier, and more efficient, sounds like a winner to me. More efficient? I see plenty of reports of poor mileage, 12-13mpg on TS, among reports of 17-18 mpg? WTF? Stronger? Yep, 14 HP 5.7 vs 6.0. How about the 5.7 vs 6.2? hmm? Yep, WEAKER!!! Faster? again 5.7 vs 5.3/6.0 yes, 6.2"? Debateable. But who cares about 0-60 times in a 6000 lb truck. Irrelevant. More safety features? Such as??? Roomier? Crewcab VS Crewmax cab, yes, but box is smaller. DC vs crewcab...nope. Guess it depends on what you need the room for huh? Bias is a 2-way street dude. Before you play the "yeah, but Toyota offers the 5.7 in all configs" card...Remember, GM has the 2500 with Duramax and 6.0 gasser in the 2500 series in RC's. So, they have the bases covered for people who need all that power in a Reg cab. Replies to this message: bugchucker (Oct 09, 2007 10:32 am) obyone (Oct 09, 2007 1:29 pm)
