that's awful. damn

I like how the fuel filter door is flapping away on the chev. The guy driving the chevy looked like he was kinda swerving. That Toyoda did horrible.

Hey guys,

I hate the Turd as much as anyone (more probably). But I just got done bragging about this site on another forum (TN) about how we do not focus on ripping the competition and instead focus on the trucks we love. May I suggest we keep that reputation intact? I really would hate to see this site turn into a TS or even a TN where a large portion of the threads are ripping the competition.

Let the Tundra guys enjoy their trucks on their own forums and let's enjoy ours here. All this will do is attract more trolls like Trailrider.

Good point Jeff

I was hoping on the bandwagon.. but in all honestly these videos are informational.. IMO the Ford had a bettter performance then the chevy..

but I understand whare your coming from Jeff its all for fun..

Yes, it is great fun...in the right place. This is not one of them. There are neutral (non-brand specific) sites for this type of "fun". Trust me, I know.

Jeff....I thought you quit visiting those XXX sites

ya know you're gettin' old when you prefer to browse truck forums instead of porn sites.

On a side note. I have some good news for you all. You will be getting about a 48 hour break from me. I am heading for the airport at noon today and won't be home until late tomorrow night. I'll try to catch up with everything Sat morning.

Be nice while I am gone and try not to miss me too much.

That was not my original intent with the thread I posted.

I actually got the Stabilitrak video because a friend is buying a gm but had a hard time finding one the he liked and also had stabilitrak.

Well I really did not see what the big fing deal was...(My mother's 07 Expedition has that Advancetrak or whatever its called and I don't think it is really needed here in El Paso)

so he sent me the video.

I was surprised to see how well it worked but I got to admit it was freaking hilarious to see that Tundra.

In all truth I am glad there is competition because if there wasn't any competition then GM would not have made trucks as bad ass as these new GMT900's

My uncle drives a new Tundra and you know what...Yeah it rides real nice and its really fast...

But its not my cup of Tea...In my opinion the new tundra is fugly (Kinda looks like a Ford and Dodge mated in the wild and this inbred looking Tundra came out...but thats just me)

I sat in a tundra (I thought the Chevy gods were going to strike me down with lightning) and the only thing I liked better was a HUGE console. They also have a rear window that goes all the way down which would be kinda nice.

^^^My point exactly!

There are things that we are going to like and wish our trucks had.

For example, I love the six speed transmission in my mother's 07 Expedition. I wish my truck had it. I'm glad the 2009's will be getting them.

The Tundra's 5.7L iForce V8 is one bad mama jamma (It is what it is) and its available in everything INCLUDING Regular Cabs! I wish GM would let me get their 6.2L in a 2009 regular cab.

Coincidentally, i just read this. Looks like the Tundra has been leapfrogged, even in reg cab versions.

Dodge Announces Improved Fuel Economy and Best-in-class Horsepower (390) and Torque (407 lb.-ft.) for All-new 2009 Dodge Ram

New Ram Will Also Offer Best-in-class Aerodynamics (.419 Cd) and Performance (0-60 in less than 6 seconds)

All-new 5.7-liter HEMI® with fuel-saving Multiple Displacement System (MDS) technology offers 4 percent improved fuel economy, 13 percent more horsepower, 8 percent more torque over 2008 engine

Best-in-class performance: R/T regular cab 4x2 model (0-60 in less than 6 seconds)

Best-in-class aerodynamics: .419 coefficient of drag (Cd) for crew-size 4x4 models to help fuel economy

Flexible-fuel-capable 4.7-liter V-8 offers 6 percent increased fuel efficiency, more performance and refinement over previous-generation 4.7-liter engine

6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel engine in Dodge Ram Heavy Duty achieves 2010 NOx emission standards in all 50 states right now, making it the cleanest and best-performing diesel available on the market

All-new light-duty diesel to be introduced after 2009 — up to a 25-percent improvement in fuel efficiency and a 20-percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions over a gasoline engine with equivalent horsepower and torque

All-new Ram 1500 Hybrid model to be introduced in 2010 model year – up to 40 percent fuel economy improvement in the city and 25 percent overall

Chelsea, Mich., Jun 26, 2008 - This morning, Dodge will showcase its new 2009 Dodge Ram powertrain lineup at the company's proving grounds. Powertrain choices in all-new 2009 Dodge Ram models will offer improved fuel economy plus more power, torque and refinement than ever before.

Engines available in all-new 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 models include the all-new, best-in-class, 390-horsepower 5.7-liter HEMI®, flex-fuel 4.7-liter and 3.7-liter gasoline engines. The 2009 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty models (with current 2008 design) are available with either the 5.7-liter HEMI or the 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel engine, which already achieves 2010 NOx emission standards, making it the cleanest and best-performing heavy-duty pickup truck in the market.

"While the all-new HEMI engine maintains the key characteristics that makes HEMI a household name in powertrains, we added new technologies, including Variable Valve Timing, that substantially improve fuel economy and refinement and maximize performance," said Bob Lee, Vice President – Powertrain Product Engineering Team, Chrysler LLC.

"Our all-new Dodge Ram also offers best-in-class aerodynamics to go hand-in-hand with Chrysler's fuel-saving technologies," said Mike Accavitti, Director – Dodge Brand and SRT Global Marketing and Communications, Chrysler LLC. "And, with Dodge Ram's first-ever crew cab, first-in-segment coil-spring rear suspension, industry-first RamBox cargo management system and more than 35 new or improved features, we're changing the game in the truck market."

All-new 5.7-liter HEMI to Offer Best-in-class Horsepower and Torque

For 2009, Dodge offers a new generation of the famous 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 in its Ram trucks, with best-in-class horsepower and torque. The new HEMI powers the all-new 2009 Dodge Ram to best-in-class performance: the R/T regular-cab 4x2 model equipped with a short bed and 4:10 gears can accelerate from 0-60 mph in less than 6 seconds.

While the all-new engine maintains many of the basic features that make "HEMI" synonymous with "power," several technologies were added or improved:

Variable Valve Timing (VVT)

Expanded operating range of the fuel-saving Multiple Displacement System (MDS)

Increased compression ratio

Active intake manifold with long runners for low-end torque and short runners for high-rpm power

Improved cylinder head port flow efficiency

Reduced-restriction exhaust and induction systems

The result is improved idle quality and overall refinement, more horsepower (13 percent), more torque (8 percent) and better fuel economy (4 percent).

"The all-new 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine will offer our customers better fuel economy, improved idle quality and overall refinement, along with more horsepower and torque," said Lee. "HEMI has always been synonymous with power, and now – thanks to VVT, expanded four-cylinder mode in our MDS system, and a host of other technologies – Chrysler's new HEMI delivers more fuel efficiency and refinement, along with even more power."

The new 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 delivers best-in-class 390 hp (291 kW), a 13-percent improvement, and 407 lb.-ft. (552 N•m) of torque, an 8-percent improvement, while providing an estimated improvement of 4 percent in fuel economy.

The HEMI's new VVT improves fuel economy under some conditions in two ways. First, it reduces the engine's pumping work by closing the intake valve later. Second, it increases the expansion process of the combustion event. This allows more work to be transferred to the crankshaft instead of being rejected out of the exhaust port as heat. Essentially, VVT optimizes engine breathing, which improves engine efficiency and power.

Dodge's fuel-saving MDS system seamlessly alternates between smooth, high-fuel-economy four-cylinder mode when less power is needed, and V-8 mode when more power from the new 5.7-liter HEMI engine is in demand. An expanded MDS operating range in the new-for-2009 HEMI — aided in part by the Ram's best-in-class aerodynamics — will allow customers to realize an even-greater fuel economy benefit. When MDS is operating, it is indicated by the fuel-economy-mode readout in the 2009 Dodge Ram's Electronic Vehicle Information Center.

Chrysler estimates that since its inception of MDS in 2005, nearly 100 million gallons of gasoline have been saved, along with reduced carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of close to a million metric tons.
