Hey AJT, imagine if they made a three cylinder engine for the LX! What kind of disaster do you think that would’ve been compared to the V8? LOL

AJT123

Alright. When you drive it, it'll shift early into second, then just nail it. It's extremely willing and is basically asking for it. You'll see. Just the idea of a truck having a Corvette V8 is awesome.

Don't get him ranting. Haha

It's bad enough cars are dropping V8 in favor for the V6.

AJT123

That couldn't have been a serious question.

I did ride in that 3 cylinder fast Corolla GR, it was smoother than I thought it would be.....

Still not a huge fan though.

Steve is correct. One can spin it all day long, but there is no excuse for doing 130 on anything but a race track. Too many possible hazards. And you cannot ignore the laws of physics....the faster you go, the longer it takes to stop, and the harder the impact if you have a crash.

My money is he’s going to like the Hybrid Tundra best.

I warned both of you guys before, do not test drive the new Tundra. You just might buy it plus he’s test driving the capstone!!

AJT123

No, I don't see him liking the Toyota Hybrid 3.4tt over the GM 6.2 V8, but we'll see.

I’m actually not that interested in the Capstone. I’d rather have a Platinum or 1794 so I can get the long bed. While I do like the new Tundra, the engine recall has delivered a major hit to my confidence in the truck. I’ll drive it, but I’m far from making a decision. The GM 6.2 with its fuel management system rattles me too. Not sure what to think at this point. I’ll test drive them all and see, in combination with what Toyota does with my current truck. Lots to consider.

My buddy I track with had Silverado 6.2 now has a 3/4 ton duramax which he hates after only 1 month of ownership and it leaving him stranded 6hrs away from him in which he had to leave it at the dealership for 2 weeks is now in the market for a 5.7 Tundra.

I had a 1794 non hybrid for 1,300 miles with a 8k trailer attached to it. Would be cool if you can tow your camper during the test drive. Curious to hear how you think it compares to your current Tundra.

Scotty had a 1794 on his channel a couple years back and I was very impressed with it. Beautiful leather interior and a really nice sound system. If I was in the market for a truck, I would look for one of those.

I don’t know jack about trucks, but that one seemed pretty nice. Has the proper engine and transmission as well.

Edit: I thought the 1794 was limited to just a single model year a few years back. I guess not and that just reinforces my point that I have no idea about trucks at all.

JDR76

I kind of expect to like the Tundra hybrid powertrain more, as it’s significantly stronger than the 6.2, but I expect to like the Sierra more (as a whole truck). What I really want is to have my confidence in my current truck restored. I’m not excited at the prospect of buying a new truck. The new Denalis are around $85k. Ugh.

I wouldn't touch the 3rd gen Tundra with a 10 foot pole, given the issues. A recall on the hybrid engine is all but guaranteed to happen because it's the exact same engine built on the same line with the same parts. I don't think Toyota has figured out how to make it without the shavings yet.

If it were my money, it's either a 6.2 GM(assuming they fixed their rod issues and cylinder deactivation) or an F-150 with either the 5.0 or 3.5 powerboost. The 3.5 will tow better, the 5.0 will be simpler. Keep in mind the 5.0 Coyote, while a powerful engine, makes its power a bit higher in the powerband than other truck V8's. Still plenty of grunt though.

I hope the Dads in here were properly celebrated for Father’s Day. My brother has a Jag XJ L with a supercharged V8 and we took that to brunch. I’ve mentioned the car here before. The Jag has ruined the Civic for me but all of the a/c problems don’t help. Probably in a year or two, I will look to go upscale.

Sure but my 100 stop is like your 60 stop. The tool makes a massive difference

Stroock639

the only tool that matters here is a calendar... idk how mike somehow randomly replied to something from january lol

but since we're talking about the laws of physics, yes exactly! a car that can accelerate faster and brake harder can absolutely reach higher speeds more safely
