  Tundra Ad misconceptions

Hmmmm..... couldn't help but notice that NOWHERE in the Toyota sales brochure or on-line do you find the Gross Combined Vehicle Weight(GCVW).

So yesterday I found a sales chat thing on the Toyota web page and posed the question. It took them 1/2 hour to cough up the answer....... 16,000 GCVW.

Translation: 5600 pound curb weight(4x4 extra cab), plus the fabled 10,200 pound trailer leaves you just enough weight left over for a 200 pound driver.

Whoops! I forgot to add in the weight of the 26 gallons of gas.......... Lets see...26x6 equals.......

Are there any 44 pound truck drivers out there?

And throw that sandwich and coffee out the window! You're overweight!

It is exactly what they call it in the sales brochure, a powerful 1/2 ton truck.

  Tundra Ad misconceptions

Two questions: What is a homelink?

And where did you get the info that the Tundra line is discontinued? It is actively promoted on the Toyota web site.

As far as the useless comments..... I regularly tow 6000+ pounds with my 2002 Tundra with no problems.

My comments on the newer Tundra had to do with the reality that the actual loaded tow specs are probably closer to 9000 pounds, which is still a very good tow package.

Better than the 7000 pounds my '02 is rated for.

  Tundra Ad misconceptions

When I say Tundra I am talking about a 4x4 long bed with a 245 hp V-8 and an automatic transmission with a 7000 pound tow rating.

They also come with a V-6, a lot more seats and a much reduced towing capacity. If you have one of these I guess the empty trailer would about max it out.

How much does a half yard of 5/8ths whatever weigh?
