Al, a friend of mine recently bought the Tundra. I thought he told me he has the tow package - could be wrong.
By the way, I drive an F350 7.3L diesel I've worked HARD, with virtually no problems. Toyota makes very nice vehicles, but they can't do what real
trucks do, in terms of hauling, towing, etc.
If I ever buy another truck, it'll be another superduty.

Super Duty all the way....
You have a hell of a truck now....It is OK Sharks you can flame me later...A dodge hurt me one time and have not ridden in one since
They had to take me out by stretcher after 200 miles
The owner said he thought he was just getting old....it was kicking his ass to.... of course that was in the 1980s
For the record...I drive GM cars, Ford Trucks, and Jeeps for jeepin' and Polaris for fishing...I will 'til the day I die........
BTW your buddy may have a tow package or his is a 2007...I used 2008 so there would be no discounting , as the price is important to me. If your buddy
has a 2008 maxed out tundra...according to the tundra boards...he has more money then Bill Gates
I am ready for this PULL-off.....

Al, to be clear... the Pole Line Road is north of Hwy. 3/ south of Laguna Salada... constructed in WWII for a phone line between the U.S. radar
station near San Felipe and the west coast...
The Widowmaker is the very steep grade a mile from Mision Santa Maria, east of Cataviņa... They both share 4WD required conditions, but the Pole Line
Rd. was paved with cobblestone... see:

Jimgrms, it will head east first, then south through Mike's Sky Rancho, coming near Hwy. 1 by Mision Santo Domingo then back into the sierra. Near
Hwy. 1 again near El Arenoso (east of El Rosario)... and finally running ON Hwy. 1 from Guayaquil/ San Agustin area to Laguna Chapala where it heads
north to Coco's Corner then back south through Calamajue Canyon and onto the L.A. Bay Hwy. for most of the way... Hwy. 1 again between Vizcaino area
and San Ignacio... then near Hwy. 1 south of Concepcion Bay to Loreto...

Any of you see Danny Sullivan, Dan Friedkin's (Vista Motorsports) new Toyota Tundra Baja1000 vehicle? Featured in the January, 2008 edition of "Dirt
Sports" magazine. Apparently the first Toyota to run in the trophy division since Ivan Stewart's in 2000. Very nice looking...... I think they placed
12th in the division. Not too bad for their first start.
Of course trophy trucks are anything but stock vehicles to base reliability on.... Haha

and remember what TW says, he's an expert......on Toyotas. |
What went wrong with the Landcruisers? I have a 73 FJ 40 with over 315k miles that has been over the rubicon more than 20 times Also a 96 80 that has
191k miles both still running great with no major repairs. Just curious what you saw.

Speaking of Ivan's race truck, I remember reading that it used a throttle body injector for each cyclinder rather than seqencial or multiport
injection.
I'll pull out the article on the Sullivan Tundra, I probably read it but don't remember it, that comes with age you know.

A friends son is an engineer on the Ford design team in Michigan. The son told me that Toyota is the standard that Ford is trying to build
to.............

The Toyotas I saw in Colombia really rocked. There were Land Cruiser 45 pickup trucks with OEM-installed snorkel intake systems rolling on solid
axles. I took photos of everything. The Fords I saw there were no match, and this is coming from a Ford guy. Their "Hi-Rider-edition" HiLux 4 door
pickup trucks had a nice lift from the factory, 4 doors, great-looking engineering, and looked like they could easily tackle that territory. The
Mud-Terrain tires I saw ran there were either the Hankook MTs, Kumho MTs, or Firestone MTs.
Not bad looking rigs...

Toyota not only makes an excellent quality vehicle but has now sold more than GM worldwide in 2007 to become number 1. I think all manufactures should
try to match or exceed Toyota in quality. That only makes every vehicle better for the consumer. I also hope that by selling more that Toyota doesn't
slide backwards on quality. Every manufacture has good and bad things about their vehicles and every consumer has a taste that has them buying from
all of them. Each of us have a preference for a chevy, dodge, ford, jeep, Nissan, toyota etc.

I love my Fords, 2003 Ranger and I just bought a brand new 2008 Commercial Econoline Van with complete contractors package and roof racks. It's the
