Any Tundra owners on the forum? Interested in hearing reviews on the 5.7L durability, towing, actual gas mileage, etc.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Tugela said:No Tundra here, either, but I do have 5.7L of Scotch on my shelf. I know that helps, but only if you are here to enjoy it.
LRflip said:Only 3 engines in the 5L range are acceptable.
5.0L Ford
5.7L Small-block chevy
5.9L cummins
anything else is crap.
disclaimer: this is all hearsay and purely my opinion, I have no experience with the 5.7L i-force toyota motor and I may have forgotten a few of the good ones.
I don't care for the looks of the newer Tundra...take it back to the last generation Tundra/Sequoia and I'm all over it.

dcarr1971 said:Jake, What kind of power did that last Chevy of Randy's have? IIRC, e said it was pretty much a dog towing is D2 back here in PA.
If you're seriously looking for a tow vehicle, I'd think a turbo diesel has to be the way to go. Weren't you talking about being able to tow a horse trailer too? If you're thinking about towing more often than just when you're taking the Disco out, then that just makes diesel an even easier choice...

Robert Alley said:I would go with a 2002 F-350 or 250 with the 7.3. Great motor, great truck, Ive been trying to get a friend to sell me his for a year, but he won't let it go. It towed my series truck and tows a tractor and boats around the Southeast all the time like it's nothing.
