I looked at the Tundra at the Austin Live Stock Show & Rodeo last month. I looked at the Crew Cab and the Extened Cab as well as the Regular cab. They had about 20 trucks there. I was not impressed at all with the gauge package. The gauges are recessed in round tunnels. The whole interior looked cheap for such an expensive truck.
I then looked under the hood and let me tell you that if you ever need a tune up you are in trouble. There is very little room between fender wells and engine. It's very hard to get to the spark plugs. The firewall comes up and over the top/rear of the engine. No room to work on the front of the engine with out a lot of work to remove other parts first. The engine is really crammed in there tight. About the ad where the tundra pulls a trailer up that ramp and then down the other side as the ramp tilts down and stops before it runs off into the canyon, and they brag about all the power of the tundra and the biggest brakes of any truck on the market and it stops 10,000 pounds. What they don't tell you is that the trailer also has "Electric Brakes" that helped the the tundra stop before it goes over the edge. That stuff is in the fine print. I have also been reading that there claim to have that trailer loaded with 10,000 pounds may be a false claim. I have a 2000 Silverado Extended Cab
5.3/ 325 cubic inch engine with 342 locking rear end. I have pulled my Massey Ferguson 3165 with front end loader up and down some pretty good size hills with no problem. If your Silverado only goes 20 to 30 mph. something is wrong with it. Take it to the dealer and tell them what problem you are having.
