yourself.They only use 2wd drive trucks,cause they said real men drive
2wd drive trucks[sm=grinangel.gif]

 

I read that article. That stupid tundra was only 280 or less horse, and it beat all the other trucks?? I think thats a load of bs. But it was good to read the times for 0-60 and the quarter mile times for the hemi. Its the same engine as before, just has the gas saving design on it.

 

What's the Curb weight on the Tundra? Also, just to make a note, Honda claims thier new Ridgeline is a half-ton truck....yeah right!

 

The five trucks tested were dodge,chevy,ford,nissan and toyota.

 

This is slightly off topic, but late last night I was watching tv when a mitsubishi commercial came on. This nissan-esque lookin truck climbs up a dirt hill and rolls up to a ford truck and revs at it. The ford leaks, what I guess to be anitifreeze fluid, and looks like it's peeing itself. I didn't care for the look of the mitsubishi, but it was funny to watch a ford pee itself....

 

that article was a load of BS. An extended cab titan with no options and a fully loaded lariat crew cab f150???? WTF?????. Look at the gear ratios on the chevy they used. Rim size, options, cab configuration, gears. In my opionon that article was pure crap. They also make note that the ford and dodge had much better outstanding interiors (duh, they are fully loaded with leather) than the titan with cloth but made note that they were giving the upper hand to the titan because it was 7k less in price. DO these people read their own f'in article when they are done? Dumb a$$'s!!!!!! Lets not even take into account the fact that in reality with rebates my fully loaded ram with 4x4, off road package, hemi, 6 disk changer etc...... was 26k after discounts and they showed 29k for their titan. Lets look at reality folks. Instead lets brainwash gulliable readers into the crap that truck trend sends out. I am tempeted to cancel my subscription after that article, and not because the Dodge didnt come in first place. I dont think the ram deserves those honors. Its because everthing they put in there was crap.

 

The Ram doesn't deserve top honors? Why not? I do agree that they (the media in general) sometimes don't put thought or common sense into thier articles.

Also, the Mitsubishi Raider is a rebadged Dakota!

 

I did'nt know Mitsubishi was bringing out a truck,any photos?

 

the ubiquitous Toyota Mini truck you see rusting out around the US (pre Tacoma).are 1/2 ton rated as well...nutty!
