those tunda are suprisingly pretty quick ,but there not american and look like crap

 

yeah sorry bout that it was a 5.4...


And yeah them 6.2 got some nuts. the cummins turbo can do alot and ive seen the 6.2 dominate the cummins.

The tundra is kinda ugly, hated it at first but it grew on me(like the 09 rams) Ive never been in one but ive been told the interior is ugly as hell.
Id like there offroad package though. comes with BFGoodrich 35s and some nice rims

 

I agree with Chevys looking like a box.

Also, Tundras to me still look small. I park next to one in my truck and they're just as big, but there's something about Toyota/Nissan trucks that just seems tiny.

 

lol at first glance I often mistake the tundra for a newer Dodge.... and arent many of them made in the us?.....I guess you could say my mexican dodge isnt American too right? I'd never buy one but just saying...
Actually that reminds me there was a study done on toyota camry comparing the ones imported from japan vs the ones made in the us toyota plant....they found the american toyota's had a 70% higher failure rate in the first year of ownership....because they inspect the parts like 14 times or something ridiculous like that in japan.....pretty sad in any case.

 

Ive driven a gmc 5.7 in the form of a 1996 sierra extended cab 1500 with a 5 speed manual trans. It seemed to have just enough power to move itself, it wasn't exactly strong. Ive also driven an old 1985 2500 silverado with a 5.7 and it had big *****, but was slow. Ive driven only one truck with the 5.9 which is a 2003, the newer body style with the optional 5.9. It seems strongish, but still not really ballsy, but more responsive than the 5.7s I drove. I can't really judge these engines because I haven't has eough drive time to really see what they can do. The 5.7 has more parts available for it.

 

ive got a few mods but mines the same way i got the stock posi rearend and 265 tires but i sit there and spin but when i do hook up 1 and 2 dont do much but once i hit 3 an start catchin up ive got ok topend speed but i really gotta start workin on bottem end speed

 

I think both in good condition, 5.9 every day. I know my 5.2 will outrun my moms 5.7 vortec anyday. Granted she has a suburban which is heavier, and mines a stickshift, but im also runnin 265s with stock 3.55 gears. People complain about these trucks bein gutless, but my 5.2 just has ballz.

 

I've had a 2000 gmc 1500 savanna van with a 5.7 vortec and I have my 97 ram 1500 with a 5.2 and for what it's worth-that van is much faster than the truck-so you'd have to get a big improvement from the 5.9 (over the 5.2) before I'd say the 5.9 would win. that being said, I really doubt I'd buy another gm product anytime soon. that van was not a well made vehicle outside the powertrain.

 

I heard the 5.3 was a quick truck, dont know about the 5.7.

 

3.55 gears are not exactly ideal for low end power/torque....they more for saving gas which is funny cause they are still terrible on gas mpg.
