Modding never stops!

Purchased a set of painted/blacked out tailights for the Tundra, came today and installed them, what a difference they make, esp on a black truck....plus I prefer the rounded lens's vice the sqaure ones.

[Greg Hazlett]

Thanks, they do but it's about 8K...yikes!

Not trying to be a D bag or start shit , But why did you buy a tundra over a Ford , Chevy , Dodge?

I find when it comes to trucks, America has it in the bag.

Disagree...at least up until this point...the Tundra blew the F 150 away with the power/tranny...I was at the Ford dealer, looked at a F150 in 07, went next door to the Toyota dealer and it was no contest..the 5.4 is an ok motor but the 4 spd tranny was old and outdated; the Tundra had the 5.7 with a 6 spd tranny and the interior was miles ahead of Ford, at least the Crew Max was with space.

When I was looking at new trucks I looked at the new Ram, still had the 07 Tundra, parked them next to each other and my wife and I spent 15 mins sitting in each of them and we liked the Tundra Crew Max better for interior leg/head room/comfort.


Now if I was in the market for a truck the F150 V6 Eco Boost would be getting a lot of my attention!

Never been a fan of Chevy's.

And as far as being built in America....Tundra's are built in San Antonio, TX using 80% parts from America..more than the F150.

According to the Apr 2011 Car and Driver the threshold used to determine how a vehicle is domestic/foreign is 75%; if the 75% or more of the parts come from the US or Canada it considered domestic.

F 150-60% non domestic
Silverado/Sierra-61% non domestic
Ram-70% non domestic
Tundra-80% domestic
