Tundra still getting whipped by the Domestics
Tundra still having its problems. I would still have liked to have seen a Ford and a Ram in the test..

It seemed like on that test with the ramps everytime the yota was about to start to go they would let off and make it start over lol. I don't really care for the looks of either of those trucks so i could care less how they handeled lol.

Oh, I'm sure the F150 would have done better in those tests with its' crappy limited slip. . .NOT.
Pretty sure that the F150 and the Toyota would have been comparable while the Chevy whooped them both.

On the roller test yes, but on the other 2 flex plays a role in tha ability to keep a tire on the ground. If both tires have a decent amount of weight on them it could move. The yota never made it so I cant tell if it was going to pick up a tire. With enough flex the first and third tet could be done with a decent limited slip. Although I do see where you were going with that comment and for the most part agree4

It's not possible to spin tires on a Tundra unless you disable the standard traction control and stability. The system uses the brakes to force the power to the other wheel. The only thing this vid exposed is someones ignorance, and it must be someone at GM or a GM fan.

Here is an F150 and a Ram being compared to the chev. Looks like they are doing as good as the yota. I wish that Ford would offer a locker as an option.

watch the video more closely. Both tires in the back of the turd where spinning. Adding more brake action would help it how? That is a crappy way to do a locker type of action. It works fine for traction control on a car. And there is no way I will ever get sick of bashing toyota. Keep it coming.
BTW tundrasolutions have a link to this video.. they have all kinds of excuses.
