Tundra gets terrible fuel mileage and no matter what the propoganda states, they still feel way way underpowered.....especially for the ridiculous price. |
Propaganda?
I averaged 16 1/2 mpg over the past 2 1/2 years in the tundra. With the 4.7 liter engine it always had plenty of power, more than I ever used except on very few occasions. It was rated at around 270 hp and it felt like it had all of that and more.
Those same facts applied to the tundra I had before this one too.
I towed a 3 1/2 ton trailer to and from San Diego last year and the truck felt like it could handle it with no problem at all. It rarely even downshifted.
This was with the smaller engine, not the big 5.7 version which is rated at zero to 60 in 6 seconds.
The guy i carpool with has a new silverado and I can guaranty you my tundra will keep up with his truck, maybe even do a little better. He thinks my tundra is quicker than his truck and has said so a few times.
Based on the little time I've had the ford, the tundra feels like it accelerates about even with the it, even though the ford has a bigger engine.
Ridiculous price? Take away all the temporary factory incentives and the tundra is less expensive than the ford or chebby.
If there is any propaganda stinking up the place it is coming from you.
The facts dictate a reality other than the one you are painting. Talking your arse is more like it.
I'm not sure what you are talking about in the rest of your post. Maybe you are referring to toyota's recent recalls? please tell me you aren't one of those mush-heads that are being so easily manipulated by the media.
I have never had a problem with my tundra. Not a single hiccup. Nothing fixed, nothing broke, nothing repaired or replaced.
No one i know who has a tundra has ever had an acceleration problem with one. I haven't even heard of an acceleration problem in any tundra in the media.
Have you actually driven a tundra? I seriously doubt it, sounds to me like you are making things up for some reason. What could that reason be?
