Written by: geo9 on Mar 29, 2007 00:59 AM

This is a post from another site: Although we've barely passed mid-February, Toyota has already recalled 533,417 vehicles this year in a mix that, according to http://www.AutoRecalls.us, includes Tundras Sequoias and Camrys. That puts Toyota on track to recall more than the over 1.76 million autos they recalled in the U.S. and Japan in 2006, and the 2.2 million ... Read More...

Toyota Tundra New Owner Reports

Waiting for my TRUNDRA

Written by: joe140 on Mar 23, 2007 11:04 AM

I am driving a 2005 F150 and have ordered a Tundra DC that is scheduled for mid April. When people bash the TUNDRA, all I can say is that I have owned several newer GMC Trucks and now this 05 F150. The F150 is a snail when towing a 3500 lb boat. It has NO, read that, NO passing power. Don't try to convince me that it has. I have 27,000 miles on it. I am not bashing FORD, I love ...

In 2005, 60 percent of SUV occupants killed in crashes were in vehicles that rolled over. In comparison, 46 percent of deaths in pickups and 24 percent of deaths in cars were in rollovers. Just out of curiosity, what portion of that 46% of pick-ups were RCs? ECs? Crewcabs? My guess is that most were crewcabs or ext cabs, very few RCs. High center of gravity is the culprit ...

However, let's talk about some of the other issues that make a truck "good". Safety - Tundra placed DEAD LAST in the front crash test compared to GM, Ford, and Dodge, which all tied for FIRST. No OnStar - a big boo-boo, considering the crash test results. You are twice as likely to need it in a Tundra, at least in a frontal crash. Top notch safety - does it make a truck ... Read More...

First of all, the last gen Tundra did not give anyone a wake up call. It was un-competative ... Read More...

Well, some clarification: First, I'd like to see the links; particularly the link indicating that Toyota Import sales grew 37% in ONE YEAR. Since Toyota sales in the U.S. were up 'only' 12% for 2006 over 2005, I'm at a loss trying to figure out how the # of vehicles they imported grew by 37%? The only way for this to happen would be if the # of vehicles they produced domestically ... Read More...

The 1987 Sunbird....ahhh, what a classic example of an awesome vehicle...hahaha I must admit that I am NOT a fan of that era GM or any American-made car (mid 80's-early 90's). But I would not judge GM or it's dealers based on 20 year old experiences. I am sure that not only the vehicles have improved, but customer satisfaction is a much higher priority in today's ...

I think it would be better if you take your car to the shop for proper checking. It sounds like your tundra is experiencing a serious condition, something I have not experienced with my own tundra. __________________ 2005 Toyota Tundra Accesorios - Tundra 4x2 06 Catalog by Toyota Motors Read More...
