yeah that was my whole point on posting the first video. The hillbilly did not even hit the gas at all. They were on some sort of loose gravel too. What a tool the guy in the tundra is.
who cares!! When I first got my Tundra a guy I knew with an 07 Ram wanted to do the same thing, I told him if he wanted to see what a Tundra could tow go buy one!!
Hmmmm I was driving and these 2 guys in a new ram kept cutting me off in traffic on the way to work I kept trying to get around them and they just kept gassing it just enough to cut me off again. I got pissed and put my foot to the floor to blow past them right past a cop with his radar going. Blew the dodge away going 84 in 45 :-( the dodge was speeding as well of course unfortunately my toyota whopped his ass at the wrong time. If only my truck was slower. Mandatory court date :-(. But my Tundra showed that dodge who could blow past the cop faster, bithces lol.
tow contest mean nothing. all it means is that one truck put more traction to the ground then the other. big wooped do waste of gas and time.
Just like the people that want to race all the time. ok lets race let me go home and get my vechical specficaly built to go fast.
I have changled my neighbor to a race, I think its a pretty good match up him on his sportester, and me on my wr450 with street tires. It will happen one of these days just got to find the right time.
yea, one of the guys at work with 2011 f150's was talkin shit the other day, there was a 4 h fair, and i was asked if i was gonna do the tug o war, i was like hell no. when ya do this its with hillbillies that cheat and hide weight but its always the same peeps so they get away with it... they also all run boggers and just roost rocky dirt everywhere. i like my truck too much.
so, the f150 guy when asked said no, but ill hook up to that toyota...
he stepped up to a 5.0 f150 from a 4.6 f150, so he thinks its the cats ass, he didnt get the ecoboost model cause he said it felt like a v6 lol... in reality, it was cheaper to get the 5.0, he is a cheap bastard. he is also the same guy that when i tried to race him and i was slowing for him to get next to me, he floored it before he was even on my rear bumper while i was braking...
i saw no reason to even play with him and waste my fuel. if we did it in dirt he would say my bfg ta/ko's hooked up better... if we did it on concrete he would say that my offroad tires hook up better than his street tires...
Pretty much this. I've had both, power delivery is "different" aka the idiot who programed to throttle in the Tundra needs to be set on fire and then put out with a fork because it's so touchy it's idiotic but pound for pound they're pretty much the same truck. My ram had better paint, better interior, and better fuel mileage, the Tundra has a better transmission.
I watched the first video on my phone so I can't see to much detail but that first video looks like a) somebody didn't even pushed the gas pedal on the tundra and b) that Dodge looked like the Cummings diesel...if so that's a great comparison............
that last video is a closer match I think the difference between them is the driver and also the 4.30 rear axle ratio of the tundra is better than whatever dodge has but same sized engine basically with similar hp/torque numbers.
That lovely young lady in the dodge states 'american lost'. typical blonde little does she know the tundra is made in usa and has more american made parts than a dodge ram.
Amen to that love talking smack w/ Ram and Silverado owners that the Tundra is more American than their vehicle. The look on their face when they see their "All American" Silverado was made in Mexico. Priceless!
all the chevy guy had to do was put it into neutral and no damage done and gently ride the brakes just in case the dodge a-hole slowed down quick.
stupid, any diesel will outpull a gas 1/2 ton V8, I bet even the new 1/2 ton dodge ram small ecodiesel they just came out with which am impressed with getting 29 hwy. mpg and around 20 in the city.
I'd love to see a 1/2 ton V8 gas get even 23-24 hwy mpg which they should by now yet choose not to.
I love the power of the tundra v8, but it comes at a cost in gas. Changing axle ratio to 3.90 and underpower the tundra a tad similar to chevy's V8 engine hp/torque, get rid of all those electronic gizmos I don't want costing more money and weight reduction, direct injection, and maybe can squeeze out 21 hwy mpg vs. just 17/18???
I have driven chevy 350V8's 5.7L and the new 5.3L chevy V8's for 2 decades and can honestly say that 310 hp and 335 or so lbs. of torque was plenty for a 1/2 ton truck to pull 5,000 lbs. and under and even in 1990 that chevy 350V8 still returned 17 hwy mpg VERY similar to today's tundra in gas mileage. I even bought a 2wd chevy 350v8 ext. cab and can honestly say I returned 21 hwy. mpg routinely and dare I say had the power and snap off the line as much as our current tundras. Adding 4wd surely reduces power even if you do not use the 4wd feature when it comes to pulling power and snap off the line.
