Newarcher Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=94d_1185747274 Unscientific, yes. Impressive, most certainly. I am just suprised that the rear end didn't fly off the dodge and kill the girl in the middle. I certainly wouldn't want to be the guy that buys either of these vehicles. I need to get a job selling cars! New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clay008 Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Great Video! I like the tires smoking up the place. It would have been great if the strap broke and the trucks took off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 That video should have been backed off a bit. Curious as to whether both vehicles were in 4wd if they were 4 wd, and whether or not either was equipped with a limited slip or posi trac rear end.

texastrophies Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Yea, it was obvious the one truck did not have a posi, which made it simple for the other, just wait till he breaks his tire loose and starts smoking it and he will not have any traction, then let off your break and pull him.:rolleyes: How much weight was in the back toyota? NOT impressive at all, if you ask me. And no, I am not a dodge fan, but would say the same thing if it would have been a chevy doing the pulling on a ford. To many variables that we (the viewer) do not have info on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Guaranteed if the Dodge got traction it would have pulled that little Toyota right to the moon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL:D That Tundra with a 5.7L DOHC 32V i-FORCE V8 with Dual Independent Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence at a pure 381 Horsepower @ 5600 rpm and a 4.300 rear axle ratio giving 401 Torque @ 3600 rpm (lb.-ft.) being driven by a 15" main pinion gear.. Nick, my friend I think you would find that Toyota a very formidable opponent .. But, I agree with everyone else in here,, without knowing all of the variables for each vehicle I take the side of err... Cool Video tho ..

To many variables that we (the viewer) do not have info on. That is the first thing I think when I see one of these vidios. That Dodge has an open differential (1 wheel drive). The Toyota has their version of limited slip. It applies brake pressure to the wheel loosing traction (2 wheel drive). Not a Toyota hater here. Just a realest. PS I wonder if the Toyota salesmen at that Toyota dealership will show this video to the people buying that truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerslayer79 Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Rigged IMHO,I like the looks of the new Yota,and they do have a heck of a engine,But I would really like to see shots of the front axles to see if either one,(Toyota), was locked in.

To many variables that we (the viewer) do not have info on. I agree! The person driving the dodge, would have kept from spinning the tires. It might have been a better test! When one vehicle looses traction, you can pull them all over the place. Obviously, this was done on a Toyota lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Nick, your D-max would DEFINETLY pull that Toyota like nothing. It's got 360hp and 650 lb ft of torque. That Yota has a 4:30 rear end?! I would NOT want to have to feed that sucker fuel... :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chevy ... 360 HP ... 650lbs. torque (no rpm given) Toyota ... 381 HP ... 401 lbs. torque (3600rpm) ... one added kicker .. computer controlled posiloc differential .. I don't see this Tundra being easily pulled around by anything in it's class ... and on even ground ( meaning even hook-up, stock equipment all around ) .. But it sure would be fun to watch with someone else's money and truck ... :D Forgot to mention... the fuel milage is estimated at a generous 14/18 mpg ... YIKES !!

LOL:D Nick, Can you post a picture of your duramax? I would like to see it. I see the blue one that I assume is your mother's or your girlfriend's. I would just like to see yours! Just kidding. I betcha I could hook my 4.7 liter V8 2006 Tundra up to your duramax and I bet I could pull yours over onto its roof in under 10 seconds! Ah, nothing like talking smack. Actually, I bought mine for a commuter vehicle so I am GLAD GLAD GLAD I got the 4.7L 2006 model instead of the 2007. I couldn't afford gas for it although it outclasses Dodge in that category, despite the 5.7L. I am getting about 19 and my dodge was lucky to get 13. NIGHTMARE. I never said anything about the vehicles, I just posted the video. New p.s. I actually like your truck, I was just messin with ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest IL_HuNtIn_KiD Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Do ya'll think my '69 with a 396 with aluminum heads, edelbrock vic. Jr intake, 850 double pumper carb, .670 lift cam, 570 horses 593 ft. lbs. torque feedin into a set of 4.56 gears and a currie locker would beat it? I doubt it since I dont have 4x4 but there sure would be a lotta smoke B.T.W Shaun you woudnt want to have to put gas in my truck either..It avg. 6-8 on a good day going down hill with the motor off and in neutral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 that was so rigged! heck once the tires started spinning you could have pulled it with a car:rolleyes: i would hook that toyota up to my duramax anyday! if you don't own one or haven't driven or pulled trailers with a deisel you just wouldn't believe it. i could pull that toyota anywhere i felt like. and i avg almost 20 mpg empty and almost 14mpg pulling 12,000 lbs of trailer with the cruise set on 70:p:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick, my friend I think you would find that Toyota a very formidable opponent .. I doubt it. I could double what I have with the purchase of a PPE programmer. I could build that diesel engine and transmission up to pull any truck backwards. You'r pretty limited as to what you can do to a gasser engine. You have to remember, these car manufacturers have to keep the power down so the vehicle accomadates everyone. I'm sure grandma and grandpa don't want to buy a new diesel pick-up to haul around the 5th wheel with a stock 1,100 horsepower engine to where the slightes touch of the throttle is going to spin the tires. While they don't come with much horsepower, its not hard at all to get WAY more out of a diesel. As for my new Duarmax you ask, Its stock and will probably stay that way for awhile. I want to break it in and make sure I get any bugs out of it there might be before I start adding stuff to it that will void the 100,000 mile 5 year warranty. Maybe after tax return and I get my cost of living check, I'll put 6" under it with some 35's...maybe 8" with 37's......or I could go 12 and run 40's!!!!! Nevermind......Right now all I've added are some chrome rims with 285's. $Bling Bling$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the key statement, a D-max isn't in the same class as the toyota. There would be no comparison. Now if you were talking about a 1/2 ton gas Chevy, ford or dodge, you may be right.

I make NO mistake as to what a diesel is made to do, they are designed to pull,, no way around that fact... What I'm saying is that this still would be an interesting pull off,, this Tundra is NO slouch because it bears the name TOYOTA... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Ok, stock, toyota may have alot of power. And the only reason toyota put just a little more power to their vehicles is because people see that they have more power and want one. But for the person like myself who doesn't care for a stock vehicle; show me where you can get upgrades for that toyota.....There is VERY VERY little out there to upgrade that truck. Go pick up an off-road truck magazine and all the advertisements and articles on upgrades are all on Chevy, Dodge, or Ford. Actually, I have never seen anything made for a toyota to upgrade it. The point is, they may have a little more power stock, but give me 15 minutes and I will get WAY more power out of any Chevy, Dodge, or Ford.
