my tacoma has issues too. The passenger seat bolts are loose. I reported it 2 months ago, haven't heard a word from toyota.
You can't compare those full sized trucks and our SUV-like trucks.

I would take the new tundra over a titan any day. IMO the titan looks ugly.

The new tundras are also quicker than the Titans. I test drove a tundra. I love the six speed auto!

Toyota

Your saying better buy? Then that would have to be the Tundra hands down. Toyota is better quality than Nissan and they hold their value much better than they do!

Is the toyota a good truck, yep, is it 3/4 ton like everyone keeps implying, nope, toyota doesn't even dare try the HD market.

As far as a 2500HD silverado to any of the 1/2s it not a fair to even look at them together. 2500HD as a lot more frame, brakes and trans. Designed to outlast a 1/2 at the same load and designed to carry much more then a 1/2 ton.

As far as the new toyota yeah they are nice but if you are like me and have to trade out ever 80K miles Ford F-series trucks are the best for that ( based on inital cost, operating expenses and resale value). In the next we years we'll see how the new toyota works out over 100K miles. We've had 3 guys buy the new toyotas only to go back to F-150s/250s due to operating costs and overall quality.
lol, ignorance is so goddamn funny. Toyota doesn't venture into the HD market because its not profitable, like 5% of all truck sales are HD, and once gas prices start going up, A LOT more, HD sales will drop to just people who require the larger tow rating, and very few will be owned by people who just want one. Hence the whole phrase, moving forward, as opposed to sitting in the back.

Anyway, for the bottom line diesal 2500HD, its gonna run your 33k, MINIMUM, kinda far off from the like, 24k for the 5.7 tundra at a base model ya know. Yeah, and i love ford quality, you should have seen how many 250's and excursions i saw getting towed into the repair bay when i worked there, Havn't seen a tundra in here besides regular maintenance though. But lets get past that, since he was asking about titan and tundra ya know.

Tundra is gonna be faster, it does 0-60 in 5.68 seconds in the 5.7liter one with 381hp-401ft/lbs. Titan is 7.2 seconds, which is respectable for a fullsize truck, but pathetic compared to the tundra. tundra

0-60 times
tundra-5.68 seconds
titan-7.2 seconds

60-0
tundra-131 feet
titan-152

You serious? This is a porsche compared to a fucking pinto. Not to mention the gas milage, titan's is a joke, while the tundras vvt-i manages to get pretty good gas milage, but you can't really expect too much from these things with that much power.

Oh, and i just found this:
The two variations of it may be called the Tundra 2500HD and the Tundra 3500HD . It is speculated that Toyota will use a 6.4 liter V10 diesel that will produce anywhere from 380-420 horsepower and around 750 pound feet of torque.

Can Chevy say owned?

Anyway, im bored at this onesided question, if you have any other questions, pm me, i sell tundras.

My mom has a crew cab(w/e nissan calls their 4dr) Titan and it is badass. She loves the truck and its got a lot of room and it is BIG. no problems with it all at 100k now.

that said, Toyota's are awesome trucks and hold value but im not familiar with the new ones but i have read that their new rear end is awesome.

Is it actually going to be used for some good size towing and what not? Like all big trucks the gas mileage is horrible, and quite frankly gas is going up and never coming back down. I know a lot of ppl that love the new big trucks that all the manufacturers are making, but they all hate the milage, and hardly any of them are used to carry nothing more than themselves and maybe a friend

HAHA your a dip...5% of truck sales are HDs, you need to stop reading the toyota crap and realize that it's well more then 25% of the market. Fuel costs won't hurt HD truck sales, it's a different buyer and market.

Enjoy selling those yotas...oh wait, they didn't even move 200K units this year like the bosted, even w/ their 6000 dollar rebates and 0% financing.

Lets talk resale or lack of, go check out tundra solutions and see all the guys mad about getting 25 to 27K for a truck they paid 35 to 40K for less then a year ago.

Nice try on the 0-60 times. your comparing a crew cab 4x4 titan against a 2wd short bed, reg cab tundra (i'd like to see the 5.8 btw).

Hows the cam shaft issue going? How about the rear output shaft on the transfer case? Oh yeah, don't forget the torque converter failures. Good luck yota boy.

LOL @ taking a vehicle to the dealer for loose seat bolts.

Come on over brother, I'll tighten them up for free.

I wish I never would have sold my Taco.... was a great truck.

Car sales lowest in 9 years; Toyota cruises to No. 2 - USATODAY.com

200 thousand units in december, maybe they didnt hit 200k with the tundra, but its still the best truck out.

"Unleashing this powertrain down the drag strip, we recorded a stunning 0-60-mph time of 6.3 seconds, thats a 4x4 crewmax, coming from edmunds. still about a second faster than the titan.

and of course the resale value is going to suffer the first couple years, its because its not proven for long time reliability.

and yes, fuel costs will make HD sales suffer, i understand that the people who NEED a HD will still continue to buy one, but a good amount of people who just buy them for no other reason then to have a big truck will start to get rid of them because they either don't want to pay the high gas costs, or can't anymore.

Sorta like a porsche, yeah you may be able to afford one, but can you afford to maintain it?
