  Tundra Ad misconceptions

Frank, you don't need new glasses.

Toyota has used the "TRD" (Toyota Race Developed) acronym for some time now to designate the trucks equipped with their off-road goodies package which were developed from ideas garnered from the trucks they sponsor in off-road racing.

Some bright spark in the marketing department, maybe whos first language isn't English, decided that with the Tundra trucks it should be "TuRD" (Tundra Race Developed).

I know several people who use Tundras as work trucks, a few even snow plow with them, I've never heard them say anything bad about them.

Best of luck.

I use my F450 diesel service truck for all of my towing (it doesn't even know when the dozer is back there). [/QUOTE]

How strange!!

A 5,000 pound truck with a small gas V8 and a 7,000 pound trailer tow capacity won't pull as well as a ~10,000 pound diesel with a 20,000 pound trailer tow capacity??

Let's talk apples to apples here.

My 40hp CUT doesn't pull as well, or push snow as well as my 125hp tractor does either. That's not to say there's anything wrong with my smaller tractor, it's just, well, smaller.

Best of luck.

Bob, as I said before, let's compare apples to other apples, not pineapples.

Yes the 7.3 IDI only has 185hp compared to the Toyotas 245hp, but it also has 25% more torque and a 4.88 rear end instead of a 3.55 rear end ratio.

The F450 would out pull the Tundra on just the starter motor turning.


Best of luck.
