Tundra 3UR-FE
i searched but didn't see any somewhat recent posts or interests on tundra's. anyone else here got love (or hate) for the gas guzzling, low mpg tundra's? lol. they're getting rid of the 3UR-FE 5.7L and moving to a tt v6
this is my 08 i've had since new. trd supercharged at 29k miles and it has 83k now. i thought about buying a new one but it's the same platform from 07-20 and they no longer make the trd branded supercharger. so i've been away from the rc f for a bit refreshing the tundra. added a fox stage 4 lift, trd big brake kit, amp power steps and complete 9 spkr jl and kenwood audio upgrade. fell back in love with it after 12 yrs of ownership. led headlights and a more modern grill are next.
the tundra and rc f are powerful and fast enough for me so my plan is to keep both v8's until i croak...maybe another 30yrs? lol.
anyone else into trucks?

Love the 3UR-FE in my LX, Just turned 110K miles and no issues in the 3 years I've owned it. Plan to keep it forever. I am looking forward to seeing the new Land Cruiser and LX570 300-Series redesign with the Twin Turbo V6.

I still think the tundra is the best looking pick up on the market. For a 13 year old design with minor refresh I am surprised I still find it better looking than any other manufacturer.
Yours look great and tastefully nodded imo. Those superchargers are rare aren't they?

sensai - Nice truck and i like your wheels setup!
what kind of mpg do you get on that thing?

my guess between 10-11mpg. you do technically get better mpgs with boost but that savings is offset because need to run 91+ octane and your right foot gets heavier for some reason.

yeah me too on trd branded. you can get 2019 tundra and get the magnusson charger (they made the trd) but not all dealerships are warrantying them to my knowledge. no tune yet for 2020. so i just kept mine and going full bore on refresh.
