no thank you.

but as for the "senior" members opening the video. yeah. we read title. but maybe we thought, or hoped, it was the rematch, or a new video where it wasn't a BS fake vid. haha. im still waiting for a real one.

 

Anyhoo... i kind of wanted to hear some peoples technical thoughts on an even match between a Tundra and a Ford or any pair for that matter. Say if both have the exact same tire pressure, wouldn't weight be the deciding factor here if the torque is close between the two? I would think it would be all about friction and traction?

 

In the previous discussion the general consensus was that the Tundra could hold the brakes and the F-150 driver just punches it to break traction then the Tundra pulls forward. Limitied slip V no limited slip would also play a role here as would the addition of weight in the bed and difference in tire pressure. Tug O wards are for redneck bragging rights, here is me earning mine with my Dodge

 

I understand both sides of the argument here. Both have their valid points. I knew it was a repost and didnt mention it at all. Didnt think it was worth arguing over. After being on a forum for a while you have to realize your going to see reposts.

 

The torque isn't close, thats the problem.

Stock for stock the Tundra will destroy the Ford.

They have lower gearing, they have higher power numbers, bigger brakes, etc.

We would have to do mods to keep up.

HOWEVER, go for a longevity test. Go for a towing capability test (not rating, but actual ability), try putting weight on their tailgates, try not having TONS of engine/trans problems, try driving down a rutted road and NOT denting your cab. All of these parts we beat the Tundra in.

I'll give the tundra its dues. Its a high HP, high TQ, goofy looking car with a truck bed on it. Simply good for just that. Think of the SRT-10 from Dodge... only with 4x4.

 

haha, thats hilarious. Ya, the more i thought about it more and more factors came to mind like the kind of tire (off-road / on-raod) width, height, diffs, gearing and this tug-o-war solves nothing (but redneck bragging rights).
