i was in town today minding my own, and some little rich kid that i went to school with comes up to me in a brand new Tundra 4x4 and asking me to race, and i only have a 05 dak w/v6 , and he was al for racing me, but my cousin shows up in his ram SRT10 , and all of a sudden the fool climbed up into his "jap crap" and left, but where is the courage in this?, if he really wanted to race he would have raced my cousin.................hewouldntr have stood a chance to the ram...........................GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!.........Swampy

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.
