Never heard of 4 psi.
My variable pumps jump from 30 psi to 75 psi with throttle position.
Bought a new Tundra

I love the red. So tired of white/black/gray.
Now I’m jealous of 2 of your trucks
Great side-by-side pic, Ausfahrt!
As nice as your new Tundra is, I’d take the Chevy!
Since you posted the pic of the Chevy, It’s not going too off-topic to ask you to tell us a little bit about it, i.e., what’s the mileage on it, when did you acquire it, how often do you drive it, etc.

drtyler,
Thanks for the link!!
If I am originating a thread on a topic I will generally perform a search before I post.
However, since Ausfahrt’s Tundra post was a new post and his Chevy post originated in 2022, I would have not made the connection.
I’m looking forward to reading his post!

I remembered that post about the neat old Chevy truck. Thought it was a few months ago but it was from ‘22.
I see that @drtyler linked the thread from when I bought the old chevy two years ago. I don't really drive it much, under 1000 miles a year in the summer just tooling around on Vermont's back roads. I had considered a front disc brake conversion but it would lead to other complications like 5-lug hubs on the discs and then I would still have 6-lug drums on the back so I ended up just leaving it stock.
The truck has an older restoration from the early 2000's and it's good but not great although it still looks pretty good from 20 feet away. I have no idea whether the indicated 98,000 miles is accurate or not but I doubt it. The original 230 was swapped out with a 250 at some point and it's just an old farm truck that is about as basic as you can get with the straight six, three on the tree, drum brakes and armstrong steering but I love it.
SX Package: Stylish Profile
The new SX Package is available exclusively on SR5 grades in 4×2 or 4×4. It is offered on Double Cab models with 6.5-foot bed and CrewMax models with the 5.5-foot bed. In all cases, it dresses up the Tundra with bold styling thanks to Dark Gray Metallic 18-inch wheels and by substituting black for body-color trim, including outer door handles and the rear inboard bumper. The Tundra door badges are removed for a minimalist look, while the 4×4 badge on the tailgate gets blacked out (on applicable 4×4 models). Similar treatment can be found inside the cabin, as black accents replace smoked silver for the trim.
Thanks for the response, got the options I wanted but had to deal with having chrome badges. Very pleased with my Tundra so far.
I'm happy to hear that you like your Tundra and I love mine too. I'm not a big fan of the current blacked out look craze but it seems to work with my red truck.
Good to hear that you're happy with the Tundra too, what did you buy?
When I first bought my 2020 Tundra I was excited to do some mods and then I realized everyone and their mom do the exact same mods. Lift, black rims, larger tires, etc. I saw five second-generation Tundras that all looked the same as far as mods on the same day once. So I decided to keep it stock to be different. That said, the blacked-out look with the red is stunning.

My Tundra and silver and it is still my favorite color! I'll modify my statement to everyone and their mom other than Hammerguy's mom do the exact same mods.
I love it and I'm sure that she will too.
