I agree about dead weight but what do you do if you have a flat?

Please (Chrysler Group) offer a 6.1 450 hp Hemi ram as an option engine. Toyota has two V8s 4.7@ 271 HP and the 5.7 @ 381 HP
The Ram for 08 engine line up should be 4.7 @ 290 HP 5.7 @ 385 HP 6.1 @ 450 HP. I love to speculate.

when peeple have a flat most of the time they call AAA or something. i think its worth it after the gas mileage and quicker speeds considered. who with these trucks has even had a flat yet? doesnt happen often. but i can understand those who cant take a risk.

from what i read the new tundra 4.7 is a v6 not v8 but it could have been a misprint.

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.
