I'm on the fence about the tundra. I actually was excited about it because I am a big fan of the TT V6 approach(I tow with an F150 Ecoboost) but I think Toyota will do a better job of it than Ford. But I spend time on the Tundra forums and the reception has been pretty luke-warm. You have the...

Hahaha. Or being realistic. I already stated earlier in this thread I would rather have Torsen/Truetrac LSD's LIKE THE FORDs. Lighten up.

Apparently that is not the only issue though(cooling the combustion chamber) because its not impossible to keep the Ecoboost cool. we have guys who have installed the Mishimoto aftermarket radiators and that pushes them over the edge to where the engine stays cool and is not in danger of...

My argument is, where are you bringing a stock half ton truck where the locker will make the difference vs A-Trac or something similar. Mike Sweers said exactly that on his interview with Andre at TFL truck. You're not running the Rubicon in anything remotely resembling a stock Tundra. I get...

I have a feeling this thing is gunna stay nice and cool. Even the current Tundra’s radiator dwarfs the 2021 F150’s(which is the same as the 2018+) and they use a mechanical cooling fan. Thats the one big thing I hate about the F150 Ecoboost is that they stuck a mediocre cooling system in there...

There is literally no precedent for a front locker on any half ton except the ZR2, which doesnt exist yet. At best, we had the torsen lsd in the Raptor and now Tremor. I just dont see where a locker in the front is particularly useful for a half ton truck. Especially with Toyota having A-Trac...

They could have a higher torque peak and make more power under the curve while staying at 271 hp or whatever. By the numbers, the engine is making 258 torque at 5500 rpm where the HP peak is. So they artificially capped torque across the whole rpm range. 271/300 wouldnt have been weird or out...

The HP thing is what it is, but why is the torque so low? The HP/Torque numbers are like an NA V6 instead of Direct injected turbo motor. Im trying to think of one GDTI that has more HP than torque in a more common vehicle(not a high end audi or merc making 400+ hp out of a 2.0). It seems to me...

i am not sure thats how Subaru was utilizing the CVT in the WRX though. They made it act like a regular automatic with shifts and everything to make the engine rev and sound sporty. I agree. A CVT could be great if utilized correctly but it also just ruins the fun that everyone on here is...

I meant more the cornering aspect. Everyone is squabbling over which cars handle better and are faster at Nurburgring, when they are probably just commuting to the office. If you are driving any of them fast enough for it to matter, you’re probably driving to fast anyways. I can break the speed...

Toyota did a good job cherry-picking the best features from the big three and combining them into one truck. We got Ram’s 5 link rear axle, Fords TT V6/TT V6 Hybrid, and GM’s . . . . I dont know what they borrowed from GM but whatever. Its a well rounded truck. I guess we will see what happens...

Yeah, I can’t think of any other trucks that had a twin turbo v6 and twin turbo v6 hybrid mated to a 10 speed. Toyota just set the bar 😂

How many of you are actually driving these cars at 10/10ths on the street? Or even 9 or 8/10ths

This doesnt excite me too much. I understand its a niche car being awd and manual, but I would rather go buy a used BMW 3 series, Pontiac G8 GXP or Chevy SS manual. Something like that if I really wanted a quick 4 door. Awd, sure, whatever. I live in Utah and it snows but if its really an issue...

Launching a manual EJ25x is an art in itself. I brought mine to the strip a decent amount and ran 13.4’s once or twice. The rest of the time it was 13.6+. Getting the thing to launch and not bog because of the turbo lag or slip the clutch cause I tried to launch at too high an rpm was really...

Oh I won’t argue with you, the TBSS is a steaming pile of crap. But it was a decently quick steaming pile of crap. My dads 9-7X Aero ran a 13.6 quarter bone stock with a crappy 2.1 second 60’. With stall it moves out hard. He has also replaced half the truck at the point and it still barely...

I am on the fence about the lockers. I would rather have truetracs/torsens like Ford offers on the front of the Tremor and Raptor. I would also rather have a truetrac/torsen in the rear. While a locker is probably better in a true off-road situation, lets be serious, who the hell is taking a...

HEY! They had the Silverado SS! Which was slow as dirt. The Trailblazer SS guys used to point and laugh at them.

I had a 2018 Ram 1500 with the Pentastar as a rental in the Bay area for 4-5 days. It ran quite well and would be enough for 75% of truck owners I would guess. Daily driving and hauling anything that should be hauled in the back of a 1/2 ton is easy for that motor. Really the only thing I can...

if I am dropping $65k on this truck I can drop $70k on a TRX(assuming you can find one for msrp someday) or 66k for a raptor. If I am dropping 70k on a TRX then who cars what the MPG’s are, and I bet a raptor would get similar mpg’s to this thing with the Ecoboost. i think this needs to be...
