 Tundra Ad misconceptions

I did not believe the see saw ended over a canyon. Think you have combined two ads. (If that is a true picture the driver must be nuts.) I drive a Tundra and have had Ford and Dodge I would never think that anyone's ad is anything more than to get your interest. How about Chevy saying the reason their 1/2 can pull so much is the boxed material used to make the frame. Wow, no drive train needed, just a great frame. I think all reserve the right for specs to change without any notice.


As to what is a full size 1/2 ton, there may be Federal Specs on that. I know my 1/2 ton Dodge had a much larger bed than the 1/2 ton Ford or Chevy of the same year and was 3 or more inches wider in the bed and cab. So were they not a full 1/2 ton?

The only tv I ever beleive was the General Lee making the jumps on the Dukes of Haazard and it never bent...

 Tundra Ad misconceptions

I have a 2 wheel drive 04 Trunda and it has 6 lug rims, looked to be sure. I have pulled 2 tons a many a time behind it on trailer with no problem. Now fertlizer spreader with I think 4 tons was a little more than it needed but pulled that in one disked field spreading fertlizer. Never had a GM pickup but have had Datsun (great diesel engine terrible body), Ford F150(ok), Dodge Dakota (great service 7,000 way too much to pull), Dodge 1500 (a work horse, like mechanic lots of repairs) totaled in wreck with smallest Toyota car which drove off from the accident. Went to Toyota because of that. Yep recall on ball joints, now which bought new vechile has never had a recall??? The dealership said have yet to find a bad one. Very nice and was ready when promised and not the dealership who sold it.

My youngest son in law has a Tundra which has an easy life. Far as I know no problems. Last year model year before they went to the BIG boy frame. My oldest has a 1 year old with 20,000 miles for most part easy miles. But I have pulled a 6 to 7,000 excavator behind it on a two axle trailer and it ran. Had hauled the same excavator on a 12 ton gooseneck trailer which weighed more with a Ford F350 diesel. No comparison, the Trunda had little better mileage and much more power. Again trailer was lighter one with the Trunda. Have friends with all the brands, the new Tundra will pull and run with any out there and leave most.

Glad to know where the one bad Trunda is. Smile
