Well no, it has 4.10 gearing because it's the offroad edition. And mph, I wouldn't know KHM lol. You forgot to mention the longtube headers and offroad y-pipe and flowmaster exhaust system. The transmission has helped a ton as well, it's tuned to race. I don't like to race anymore seeing I destroyed my transmission in the first place, but all I know is this truck is nuts. I just think if you want performance, that's cool, but looks should come first too. Nobody cares about a vehicle being fast if it's rusted, or doesn't look cool, just my opnion. I'm not even talking rims and ****. Just making it look a little extra custom, and always clean goes along way. You would be suprised. Some limo tint, smoked tails, fender flares, big tires, clear headlights and a loud exhaust will get everyones attention. Then they will be interested to ask what it has under the hoods. And hopefully over the years I can continue to build the list of performance modifications done to the truck[8D]

Not to start anything, but I would LOVE to see that truck do 0-60 in 8.5 seconds sitting on 35's...

I'm being modest when I say 8.5. I can't really do that anymore though. I tore a transmission doing it, and now I'm in the middle of a rear end job, so I'm taking it easy. But maybe when everything is rolling smooth again I will. Let me prove this though... I'll show you my brothers f-350 0-60 video. Then I'll show you a video of us racing...

i would be willing to bet in a race my tundra would spank both of your trucks by6-7 lenghts easily. maybe more. my blue ram is a single cab long bed so its lighter then your ram, with a 5-speed and a very heavy duty clutch and when i raced the tundra it killed my ramby roughly 5-6 lenghts. and i have the round air cleaner thing and a gutted cat. i also have the 4:10 gears.

meh whatever, i dont give a **** what kinda truck i have as long as its strong can tow, and is reliable. the tundra will tow with the best of the big boys trust me on this. i just bought a 31 foot campper with 2 pop out sides that weights just under 10k and the tundra pulles it EFFORTLESSLY.
