On my way to work this am listen to Little Rock Fm station on comes a Toy Tundra ad a guy says "I'm a hot shot driver and I live in my Toy truck, I never know when I will need to go to OKC" as I pulled to the side of the road laffing so hard I could not see. I cross I40 5 or 6 times a day and I have never seen a Tundra being used as a "Hot Shot Truck" I thought that some of you might enjoy this.

I've got a couple hundred miles of seat time in my friends 07 TuRD access cab 5.7. Other than nice acceleration, the rest of the truck is "meh."

 

Fuel mileage sucks, seats are ok, armrests are uncomfortable, ride is bouncy, steering doesn't feel very responsive.... and it has this weird "boulbous" feeling when navigating around parking lots and making turns. Has bad blind spots too in the access cab trucks. Also, the door metal "shutters" when you shut the doors, the gauges are "annoying" to read, especially at night, kinda hurts my eyes.

Have you seen the TV comercial with the lady who owns the horses? At the end she says; "my Grandpa was a Chevy man but if he were around today, I believe he would be a Tundra man."

 

Yea right, chances are her Grandpa would spank her butt for even thinking such a thing.

I hate the one with those stupid dirt bike kids. Like I'm gonna buy a truck based on the opinion of some zit faced ricer boy. The attitude they portray, the way they praise it compared to a dirt bike... I just don't get that one.

 

(Okay, they maybe famous motocross champions or whatever...)

Personally, I'm a big fan of the commercial where they strap down a motorcycle in the bed, then flip it upside-down and shake the pi$$ out of it.

 

Yeah...If my truck is upside-down and shaking like that, I'm probably not going to be concerned with my motorcycle.

I remember seeing that one and thinking "your Grandpa is rolling in his grave right now."

      Do you keep your tires at full capacity? 80psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Are you using a weight distribution hitch system with your trailer as that alone can change the actual tire pressure requirements needed. It would prove interesting to see what the actual individual axle weights are on your truck when you are hooked up to the trailer. In fact when your hooked to the trailer, typically if anything unless it has a large capacity weight distribution system that is over cranked, often the weight on the front axle will be less when hooked up vs driving empty and certainly if one doesn't have a weight distribution hitch. Really the only times one may get up there with weight on the steer axle is if there was a snow plow mounted on the front or a motorcycle on a rack or with a very large jockey tank full of fuel at the front of the box that transfers a bit of its weight to the front axle.    And of course your tires carry more weight for a given tire pressure due to their size vs a stock sized tire so there is that to take into the equation as well.

      Great info here thank you. I just joined, we have a 2014 Silverado truck we bought about 4 years ago with less than 5,000 miles on it. It has approximately 24,000 on it now. It appears to have all the standard issues that people are talking about. Occasional charging problems especially using 110 volt, occasional blinking triangle where nothing will turn on when first starting the truck but it will reset itself if you wait 10 to 15 minutes. Noisy coupler between the flywheel and the generator. Our truck is speed limited to 74 mph, is there any way to change that? The latest issue we have been dealing with is when driving long distance on the highway at full speed the generator does not keep the batteries charged. The meter will go into the yellow/red border Zone for charge status and the yellow triangle will illuminate solid but the generator will not keep the battery charged, not sure why the controller doesn't tell the gas engine to increase RPM to increase generator output it usually stays well below 25 kilowatts even though the battery is discharging and I have to slow down the highway to 45 mph and eventually pull over and let the truck idle to charge the battery so I can continue driving at speed. Has anyone had this issue before or have any idea how to diagnosed it? When via Motors was around it they were very helpful at troubleshooting. This becomes much if the Terrain is hilly and you're towing a small trailer

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By Z45 · Posted

      I have the GMC accessory (REV) cover installed by dealer. Ordered with the truck.  They did a very good install job, can't find a single issue. Some water gets in around the tailgate but no where else.  You can see daylight around the tailgate but that's not the covers fault.  Installation is means everything. Guys at my dealer were seasoned pros, not inexperienced here today good tomorrow types, like many dealers employ for these jobs.   I don't mind paying for a professional job.

      Like others have said, they will all leak. Mainly at the corners.   I have owned several and the best has been my current one. Revolver x4

      LCA bolts

      By calgator73 · Posted

      About 8 months after an alignment job by the dealer I started experiencing a pretty significant clunk in the front end on hard left hand turns usually parking lot speeds almost at lock.  Occasionally get the same on hard rights too.   Discovered that the lower control arm attachment bolts are TTY and only to be used for a single use. And then I found some evidence of a TSB that indicates you can over torque those fasteners to about 130 foot pounds.   Asked a local shop to investigate and they found 3 out of four bolts loose and retorqued.   I've ordered the MOOG    K100421 lower control arm bolt kit that is completely reusable and not TTY.    Is the 80 ft pounds a realistic number?  Anyone have experience with those bolts?
