Hubby and I are visiting his oldest son in Austin ...... walking all around down town and didn't see a single Tundra - for that matter didn't see a Tacoma either! Guess I was assuming I would see a lot of them but this is feeling like FORD country down here!!!


..............just wanted everyone to know I was looking! Maybe i'm just use to Colorado which is big Tundra Country but its a little different then I expected!!!

I have an 08 Crew Max (almost 3 years old) that has about 45K on it. The other day at the end of a long roadtrip, my a/c light starts blinking and the unit shuts down. When I get home I check the fuses and all are ok so it looks like a trip to the service dept for me. I take it in, and am told the entire a/c compressor has seized and damged the a/c clutch. Around $2400 to replace both. Even though the a/c gets used a fair amount (we live in the desert), it seems awfully early for something like that to break. We had just had it into the shop for routine maintenance about two weeks ago and one of the things they did was replace the sepentine belt. Could that have led to the a/c problem?

New member here. I'm starting to look around at Tundra vs. Ford, Dodge, Chevy, GMC full size alternatives.

Can current Tundra owners who are also former owners of the Big 3 full size offerings offer their comparisons/observations?

I'm a fan of Toyota's, as a current owner (well, it's my wife's car) of a RAV4 Sport (which is a great SUV by the way) and I had a Toyota 4x4 pickup years ago (an '85, which lasted forever and was an amazing little truck, that 22R motor just would not give up no matter how much abuse it was given).

That's another way of saying I don't need to be sold on the virtues of Toyota ownership, but rather am really interested in prior GM/Ford/Dodge owners comparing their specific Tundra experience vs. their specific domestic counterparts (F150/250, Silverado or Sierra 1500/2500, Ram1500/2500, etc.).

Thanks a bunch. ]]> General Tundra Discussion CTJM http://www.toyotatundraforum.com/general-tundra-discussion/9159-new-member-tundra-vs-other-full.html Leer 122 Cap on a Tundra Crew Max/short bed? http://www.toyotatundraforum.com/general-tundra-discussion/9154-leer-122-cap-tundra-crew-max.html Mon, 30 Aug 2010 17:17:50 GMT Wondering if anyone has pictures of the Leer 122 cap on a 2008 -2011 Crewmax/short bed?

Also changed the cabin filter and scrubbed and cleaned the Weathertech floor liners (they were nasty from a few trips to the ranch when it was muddy). Also rewired the front end of my big trailer (had a bad ground that was showing up on the Prodigy P3 diagnostics, so I decided to put all new wire on and a new 7 pin male plug) and everything works great.... gotta love the P3! Anyhow, I'll be heading back to Lafayette shortly because it's getting too hot to do anything else outside here, lol! ]]> General Tundra Discussion rarjar http://www.toyotatundraforum.com/general-tundra-discussion/9148-one-of-those-odds-ends-days.html Looking for a good Kill Switch http://www.toyotatundraforum.com/general-tundra-discussion/9144-looking-for-a-good-kill-switch.html Sun, 29 Aug 2010 03:39:32 GMT Hey guys, not sure if someone has talked about this but I'm looking to see if anyone has experience with a good, cheap inexpensive kill switch for the 2010 Tundra C/M. The idea I like the most is hiding the switch in plain sight by using what would have been the Sonor button in the driver information center on the SR5s.

Planned specs: 2010 or 11 Doublecab, 4x4, front bench seat, tow package, 5.7L. Doublecab b/c I need the flat floor (dogs; wish the crew cab had seat bottoms that folded up like the Ford), bench seat b/c one of the kids like to sit up front for short drives.

Talking to local dealers (neither of which has this configuration), this truck would have to be brought in. I was told that the bench seat doublecabs all come into the US with the same options and that they differ only in color and port installed options (running boards, etc). Does this sound right?

I'm moving from my 2003 7.3L Ford crew cab to the Toyota, as I wanted something with more room, modern. I tow a race car/flat bed combo and short tows to pull my boat out of the water and to the dealer for service (1x/year), but it's about a 12,000lb load. I also use it on the beach heavily, running 40+ miles in loose sand down North Padre Island here in TX.

Plan on a quality lift and tire/wheel package.

I'm a big toyota fan (wife has a lexus SUV and I have a 2000 4runner with elocker), and look forward to another.

Clincher for the Tundra was bench seat with middle seat 3pt shoulder belt. It appears that all the other trucks on the market have only the lap belt.

It's only about a second or two almost like the throttle doesn't realize you're stepping on it then it goes. I've seemed to notice it is worse when it is really hot out. I'm not jamming on the gas all the time so I don't notice it too often.

I took it to the dealer the other day and the tech drove it and said he didn't recognize a problem. He also drove another truck and said it did the same thing. Said it had to do with the traction control system and it was programmed to do that cause the truck has so much torque.

I've done some searching on this and I can only find problems other people have with the revving when you slow down on the curve then gas it again, which I've gotten used to. Just want to see if anyone's had this problem or heard of it or if the service guy is just giving me a line cause it doesn't seem right. ]]> General Tundra Discussion pecro http://www.toyotatundraforum.com/general-tundra-discussion/9127-acceleration-delay.html How were your new Tundra negotiations? http://www.toyotatundraforum.com/general-tundra-discussion/9091-how-were-your-new-tundra-negotiations.html Sun, 22 Aug 2010 06:03:49 GMT Well, I'm getting ready to buy a 5.7 double cab '10 very soon and wanted to hear how others negotiations went.
