tundra 5.7 3ur-fe 381hp/401lb-ft

[3rdgen3SGTE]

I receive my new toyota truck and is very fast

No other american truck can beat me

I think is the biggest toyota engine

[AE86less]

Cool....

[matt dunn]

The guy who is kinda a NZ agent for the Tundra here is the guy who own's the enduro Levin race car.

They are definatly a cool truck.

[Mr Revhead]

do ford still do the lightning? and dodge the ram sr10? or whatever its called?
i think those 2 would be more than a match!


but yes, the tundra would be cool....

[flygt4]

dodge ram srt10 is up over 500hp with the 8.3L v10.
the fords have some funky engines in their trucks too.

the tundra engine is still cool though, but all that power is wasted in a truck like that.. do you really need it? the weight just blunts the performance and if you need heaps of torque then get a diesel.
even the SRT10 isn't exactly a rocket, although it is impressive for a truck.

must be an american thing

[postfach]

Need to put the 3ur in a KP

[3rdgen3SGTE]

Ford Lightning is 380hp for 2001-2004 the production is finish

Ram SRT10 is 500hp so 2004-2006 it's only one can beat me


Now ford have v10 6.8 push-rod of 425hp in option in the f250 so the truck is weight so heavy that it's take more fuel than forward

Driven any? They aren't exactly slow. A 5.2s for a 0-100 for a car is still fair moving, likewise with a 13 second 1/4

[try_hard]

a mate's dad owns two dodge rams. one being 500hp and the other being 1000hp. (only diffrence is a chip) his old man tells me. both are factory. dont quote me on this as its what the owner told me.

[Lloyd]

A chip and a whole lot of imagination

someone i knew had one for a while as they reviewed cars for a tv show.
they found it more useful for carting chicks up and down the main street on a saturday night. they are apparently quick, but not 500hp quick, all that speed is dulled by the sheer weight.

kinda cool in their own way, but like most american cars we get here , kinda like a large penis extension as well.

i'm more impressed by the new generation diesels that are appearing now. BMW's latest 535d with a 3L TT diesel makes 210kw/580nm of torque @1750rpm. now that would be a laugh to drive.
i reckon the tundra engine would be a cool donor for a small car though.

[try_hard]

i will get some info for you on his trucks.. im not douting him as he has 2 racer cars one being a 78 mustang and a ford cortena that are very quick. he knows his stuff. but im just going from what he has told me. can confurm this though when i next see the owner. i mite of hurd him wrong and one not being stock. but i heard the 1000hp thing and i didn't believe it at first eather.

[Dell'Orto]

Not unheard of to get 1000hp from those Viper motors, but it involves a fair bit more work than just a chip!
Those SRT10's might weigh as much as a small planet, but they can sure get away in a hurry! A customer of ours had one he'd just converted to RHD, and when he took off it wasn't mucking around.

[thegreatestben]

dodge ram is 2.3 tonnes according to google, and its 8.3L.
I think thats more than enough displacement for the weight for it to move quite rapidly

[MR2SIK]

there was a black dodge ram at a track day i went to in timaru a couple of years back.
It certainly wasnt slow
certainly a sight to remember, 2 tonnes of truck going sideways at a rapid pace

A ute without a wooden deck? That ain't cricket. Gimme a flat deck hilux or landcruiser anyday.

[flygt4]

needs 4wd as well i'd like to see you launch a boat off a beach with a 2wd ute.
do those tundras come 4wd?

don't get me wrong, the bigass utes are cool in a way, and some don't go too badly, it just seems kind of pointless to me really as most of the people who buy those utes won't ever use them properly, as they are too scared to scratch the tray liner by putting stuff in it.
ute to me = wheelbarrow with engine/tractor for towing shit

[Mad Murphy]

If ya can't fit half a paddock of hay bales on the back and another half a paddock of bales on a trailer it ain't a ute.

It's maybe a 5.6L V8 Cummins turbo diesel and he talk about 1000lb-ft of torque...

the chip is like boost controler for turbo....and run the engine at higher psi

[Mr Revhead]

hurry up and post some pcis of your tundra
