Thumbs down chebby gets some competitors trucks together for a CONTEST! The Tundra cleans up.. :(

An awesome contest, to see who is more awesome..

The tundra by the way cleaned up IN the AIDS department.

Now this isn't GM writing this review...

As well the new super duty got smacked..

http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/08/...he-competition/

I'll let you read it if you like, but here are some quotes on the awesomeness of the tundra...

RE the awesomeness of the LSD:
The Toyota uses a helical gear limited slip differential that operates in a similar fashion, transferring some torque, but the traction control cuts too much torque from the engine, causing it to roll backwards down the hill and occasionally stalling. If you are very, very careful with the throttle, you may be able to get it to climb the hill. Bottom line: if you ever plan to tow a boat up a slippery boat ramp, avoid the Tundra.


Regarding the sexual aggression of its traction controll assitcance nanny dot com add ons:

Tundra and here the Tundra showed another major lapse by Toyota. A decade ago, it was common for four-wheel-drive trucks to disable features like traction control in four-wheel drive because of mechanical coupling issues between the front and read axles. In 2007, most slip control systems have overcome this and work in all modes. On the GM trucks, the standard stability control system including ABS and TCS works in all drive modes. On the Tundra, switching to four-wheel drive disables everything except ABS, so if you have four-wheel drive engaged and the truck starts to slide or spin, the driver is on his or her own. Even in two-wheel drive, the slip control system is one of the noisiest and intrusive I've experienced on any vehicle in many years.
re ABS - On the Toyota, if the steering wheel jerking in your hands and the grinding sound of the brake control unit wasn't enough to tell you the system is active, there is also an irritating beeping the whole time

Re Interior:
The mounting hardware in the GM trucks is designed to leave the load floor in the back of the cab virtually flat with the seat folded. In the Tundra, large mounting brackets remain in place on the floor, making loading a little more problematic. The cheaper looking materials of the dashboard are also readily apparent in the Tundra when compared side by side with the competition. Yet another glaring lapse on the Tundra is the bolt heads in the bed that extend just above the load rails, and anyone out there that has loaded the back of a pickup up truck nows the importance of that little detail.
