thats pretty cheap for what it is. but what it is is a tundra. think of the unreliable engine and then throw a supercharger on top of it. all those trucks will be grenading within 20k i bet.

Cliff Notes

2 doors less than my HD, less curb weight, more power.

But runs slower

those are all positive notes

and it shows the true workmanship of the Toyota at it's finest. The 2nd Gen lightnings are almost 10 year old technoligy and they are still better than the "new technoligy" of the toyota's

The Yota could make 800 hp, but it's still an ugly truck.

6K TVS 2.3, plastic skid plate, fake plastic scoop above the grill???, Camry steering wheel and shifter that looks like it also came from a Camry... How big and ugly do you like your truck?

.77g on the skid pad easily beat by a 10K Kia versus .85g for a bone stock Lightning way back in 1999.

Did I mention how big and ugly this barge is????

13.3 isn't bad for a Greyhound bus

If you run with the tailgate down you will eventually lose some weight and maybe shave of a tenth or so of the time?
