2012 Tundra

I know, I know, it isn't a Ford. However, at least it isn't a GM product!

Check this out! No E-FAN! A mechanical fan/clutch is used for better reliability, and cooling. Nissan Titan does the same thing:

Does it go alright?

Do you have to run it on 91?

Looks very nice. Throw a TRD blower on it I dare you!

I'd take a GM over a Tundra... I've not actually driven either, but I've sat in both and the Tundra has a lot smaller feeling cab than the GM or even my 15 year old F150.. I'm only 6'3" tall, but I felt cramped in a Tundra and my head was just about hitting the roof.. Yes, I did adjust the seats too!

I can wear my 'cowboy' hat in my F150.. So there you go right there!

Pretty truck however... There are lots of them out there, so I wish you the best with it! (what the heck did you expect from an F150 site!

Mitch

Is it just the angle of the picture, or are the front seats really as long as they look in the 4th picture from the bottom? The bottom cushion looks like they are atleast 2x longer than a normal front seat in a car/truck and that they would be extremely uncomfortable to sit in. Other than that, it looks great on the outside, even though I would rather be in a GM than a Toyota.

The bottom seat cushions are normal sized. They look longer, due to barrel distortion from a fisheye lens.

I wouldn't let that thing park in my drivway.

At least with a GM you aren't buying someone a bowl of rice.
Whoever bought that thing tell them thanks for nothing.

Check it out:

80% of Toyota Tundra is made in USA
60% of Ford F-150 is made in USA
61% of Chevrolet Silverado is made in USA

Jap car makers brought their suppliers with them. They set up cooperate offices here and WaaLaa made in America. Biggest industrial con job in the history of industry and our government supports it. Makes me sick. I hope your son thinks it was worth it.
You should take those photos down you should be ashamed.

Nice truck. I had an 07 Tundra that never gave me any problems. Other than ride and gas milage i cant say anything bad about them.

Ive never looked at import carmakers as being foreign. I mean ford-(mazda, jaguar) gm-(isuzu,toyota,opel,holden) chrysler-(mitsubishi). It seems to me its a global economy in the auto world. Hell even the Chineselike Buicks more than Americans do. Even at this moment Ford and Mazda share some of the same engines.
