2014 Silverado/Sierra vs 2014 Tundra

[roadblock]

What do you guys think of the new Tundra? I think they really improved the styling. LED accent lighting and wheels that look alot like the All Terrain wheels.

If they had a new drivetrain to go with it I would even consider trading in my Sierra.

Front end is awful

 

Powertrain is the oldest of all full size pickups

[KMGZ400]

while it may be a decent performing truck... i personally think it is absolutely hideous all around

I wouldn't buy one.

 

Just 11 miles and the 'check engine' light is on already...

 

so long

Tundra's frames are made of legos.

That can happen to any brand, there was a guy that bought a 2014 Silverado and had a major engine issue with less than 10 miles.

With engine off/key on, CEL should be illuminated

And yet that "old" 5.7 will probably still skulldrag a 2014 with a 6.2........ Lol.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little. That's the ugliest truck I've seen in a long long time...

Sometimes I think that I'm using the wrong smileys.

 

But at the end you're both right.

Powerful or not, it has a weak frame and I too could never get past the styling. Not to mention driving a "foreign" truck in Michigan would likely be considered blasphemy.

My friends have '13s. One a limited full four doors and another a double cab. Both have the large engine. One says you can watch the gas gauge go down as you drive. Getting about 13-14 mpg at speed on hwy. I went for a long mixed road drive in the limited. Seats not comfortable at all and ride is firm but harsh on back roads. Would buy a ford before one of these. Plus just not nice looking. They Look huge with no more room than the GMs.

 

The engines are real dated. It will not out perform the 6.2, old or new. One bought because he was mad at auto unions and another because it was cheap and his old toy was good.

That truck Is not even in the same league as the big three. The power train is outdated and the fuel mileage is awful! Only die hard Toyota lovers will buy this truck.

I like it pretty well, but I see the Crewmax as more of a SUV w/ a bed, than a "truck". The 5.7 is a strong motor, and the gearing is mated well. The interior is well suited for a family, and the new gauges, etc. are a definite improvement. The mpg isn't good, though, and my experience on Toyota parts is that they are too high for what you get. Overall, I'd look at them if looking for a family-hauling, towing machine... but not for a truck that I mostly used as a truck.

umm, you're nuts man - NUTS. The 6.2 trucks will be stupid fast, no F'n way the Tundra will keep up w/ one.

 

6.2 + 3.73 + 6 speed auto = FAST

 

I'd imagine the 2013 6.2 is quicker also.

 

Anyhow - my friend has a 2011 and it gets worse mileage than his 2004 CC 2500 chevy w/ the big V8 did. Terrible.
