Yep a misprint. The 4.7 was and is a V8. I-tech series. Its the V8 Lexus engine. Its a very smooth engine. My Brother-in-law is in his secound Tundra with a 4.7 and get 16.5 mpg on reg gas and never had an engine issue. He does have brake issues and ballance issues.

The jack is a POS and so is the location. I had a flat on Gray I and in the rain on the side of I-95 at rush hour. Freaking insane situation. I wish I had a Alum. service jack to roll under the truck that day. The 16" TRX wheel & tire is very heavy. It’s a wonder the ball joints hang in there. I have a friend with a Ford F-250 and he has front-end problems all the time because his aftermarket tire/wheel is way heaver than stock. The components take a beating. OTH a 20" alloy sport wheels & low profile tires weigh like nothing compared to stock.

It was my mistake for not putting something under the truck, but I've never had that problem before. I need a hydraulic jack, or even a hydraulic lift....

I had a flat on a rear tire last week. The jack didn't fail but the alloy wheel was stuck to a rusted brake drum. It took a 270 lb friend to kick it loose (at the risk of dropping it off the jack). No tool was effective at prying it off.
Sears has a jack that I used to carry in my '02 Dak that I'm going to buy and carry in my '05.
It would be advisable for you-all to take your back wheels off and WD40 where they meet the drum before you are in the situation that I was in.

RE: i hate imports........
yeah it has been raining for the past two weeks, pretty heavy for the past couple of days, plus the ditches are pretty deep around here on a dryday with now water or mud about 5 feet, the thing that made it even more amusing was that the dude was so full of himself and his truck that he must have been messing with someone and he forgot that that particular driveway was pretty narrow..................................gotta love louisiana......................Swampy
