@ I have to agree with you on that but a part of me lives under the fantasy the Trump administration will turn things around and get rid of some, if not all the EPA’s ridiculous regulations
It’ll never happen. Hopefully Toyota gets the V35A sorted out because I think it could be a great engine. Though part of me is curious how the 5.7 would perform with a 10 speed and how much it would improve its performance.
We had a v8 tundra as our hunting truck. It went everywhere and could carry some serious weight in the bed. We beat the crap out of the underside on the rocks and sage brush
I don’t know why Toyota was against a locker or even an LSD in the 2nd Gen Tundra? That’s would have made the truck even more popular and capable IMO. Instead they relied on ATRAC, which works but it isn’t great.
Probably for the same reason that they removed the tranny cooler in the end of the 2nd generation. San Antonio manufacturing plant isn’t cheap to run. High cost, little profit for Toyota. They had to cut costs somewhere.
Finally took the F150 STX off road last weekend. The 2.7 Turbo is nowhere near as fun to drive off road as a V8. Miss my Titan for offroading, but the F150 is so smooth on road...i cant win 😂
the post makes no sense. The 2.7 makes torque immediately and is a lot lighter and the weight savings is on the front axle which is exactly where you want savings on an off-roader. Everything performance wise favors the 2.7.
The old Tundras were always far behind Ford, GM and Ram... but they were reliable. The new Tundra is still far behind Ford, GM and Ram but now it's less reliable too.
This truck was never advertised as offroad truck lmao 😂 actually all the trucks in that era was never advertised as use for offroad lmao 🤣 so fail on this video
@westcoastplinkin6559 How not? The Titan Pro-4x has always came with a locking rear diff, skid plates, better V8 power and better mpg and better interior design. The Titan has better reliability!! So what does 2nd gen Tundra have?
@westcoastplinkin6559 There are just as many Titans that have reached a million miles as Tundras bro and Frontiers too!! Do some research lol. You stick with Toyota
Best half ton truck ever built. If I could buy a new 2nd Gen Tundra today then I'd absolutely do it.
I have a Tundra, that rear window is the best!
No kidding, eh?! It’s our favorite Tundra Trump card.
I own this exact truck. 2019 Tundra SR5 in Cavalry Blue. It’s dead nuts reliable and paid for so it’s a keeper.
Worst decision of my life was selling my 2021 Tundra when the lease was up. I made a killing in profit, but I miss the truck more than ever.
That powertrain was class leading when it came out in 2007 and even to be competitive until late says something.
Big Toyota fan here but I won’t buy another one until they put the 5.7 back in it.
Sadly, I don’t think it’s ever coming back 🥲

ok just keep your truck because time moves forward not backwards.
Look good with 35s , balances out that front end. I had a 5.4 3v was good to 120 miles when traded, just change damn oil @3000! Mobil 😅
It was huge in all the right places. 3/4 ton brakes and suspension
As a San Antonio native that owns the same gen Tundra. I'd like to drive this same course y'all have set up, lmk.

I owned an 2011 and 2021 Tundra. Didn't like the 2022+ with all the Plastic. Bought a 2024 Silverado Trail Boss instead.
Hopefully, with the 6.2

@@davidporter7051I agree, this post is a joke
Best V8 in a 2024 half ton = VK56VD
The 2nd generation is the best

The 23 Nissan Titan and all previous gen Titans are better then the 2nd gen Tundra!!
Said nobody ever.

@ Never heard of a Titan reaching 1M miles. Plenty 2nd gen Tundras have been documented to reaching that. I will stick to Toyota.
@westcoastplinkin6559
There are just as many Titans that have reached a million miles as Tundras bro and Frontiers too!! Do some research lol. You stick with Toyota
@@westcoastplinkin6559
There's a Titan that has 1,340,000 million miles on it and it's still going strong!! Tundra can't say that lol
