Talk:Toyota Tundra

message: Were any of these sold as the T-150?  I thought it was changed before production examples were sold. —Morven 06:04, Jan 30, 2005 (UTC)
::Answer - No.  Ford threatened to sue while Toyota was showing the Tundra as the T-150.  This was before the Tundra was ever sold in 1999.  --Beastmaster 03:13, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Any chance the article can be modified to eliminate the disparaging comments about the Tundra being 'too small'?  If I and the other half a million people who bought one wanted to buy the biggest pickup on the market, we would have.  The Princeton, Indiana plant was only designed to build 100,000 trucks a year, anyway, and I look at the Tundra as a success. User:Demiller74
Whether or not the truck was a SUCCESS is irrelevant.  The truck was always classified as a full-size truck, but noticably smaller than every other full-size truck, therefore making it "too small" to be seriously considered as one.
: Well, that's a closed-minded statement.  My full-size van is considered a light truck, yet is just as big as a full-size truck.  Does that make it too big?  Just because the Tundra is a little smaller physically doesn't mean it's any less of a truck.  It still has the towing capacity and strength of any other heavy-duty truck, and the newer ones have some damn nice features (I wish I had a 6-speed...)  Ahanix1989 05:01, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Explaination of edit 

message: The mentioning of TundraSolutions.com and the letter advising them to stop using the Tundra name is irrelevant to this article.
there are thousands of sites dedicated to providing service and information for Toyota vehicles, the fact that one broke a law doing so is un-notable. I removed said mentions and will remove any future submissions of TundraSolutions.com to this page unless it becomes notable.
Wikipedia is a dedicated place for global events and views. Small, insignificant instances in history are best left to another page, not products themselves. For instance, if it becomes known that Toyota has cracked down on many, many small time deals, and then it becomes controversial or just that widespread, it would deserve mention on the Toyota page, but still not this page.Scryer_360 18:13, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I do think that there should be some mention of camshaft failures, becuase this was considered to be a big deal in the truck community. I do agree that the way it was originally stated was not exactly NPOV, but I'm sure you see my point. I'm going to try to add a camshaft failure section written in NPOV with a source.

thread_title:  Sales Chart 

message: "As a result of these early camshaft problems and other issues such as bed and tailgate failures, transmission flaws, etc., as of October 19 2007, Consumer Reports (which initially recommended the Tundra) does not currently recommend the 4X4 Tundra until these durability issues have been addressed. The 4x4 Tundra is predicted to have below average durability; however the 4x2 version is still recommended."
Consumer Reports ranks the Tundra 2nd to the Chevy Avalanche regardless of drivetrain configuration.  The 4x4 is not recommended due to reliablity issues, however this is not relevant to the overall rating. I have corrected this error.
There is no source for the paragraph.  While CR is no longer recommending 4X4 because of reliablity concerns the reasons listed are false.  I'm removing that section because there is no need for the spread of misinformation for those looking at the Toyota Tundra section.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.118.160.37 (talk) 23:44, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Consumer Reports no longer recommending the 4X4 models 

message: The info on consumer reports here is inaccurate and out of date.  The recent consumer reports shows the Tundra as the top truck for reliability, with the 2WD tundra topping the list.  The 4x4 Tundra is the top 4x4 Pickup for reliability, and sits second overall.  If I get the copy of the consumer reports I will update this information Caprice 96 (talk) 15:26, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Needs to be updated 

message: I rated this article "Start" as it meets the description: "The article has a meaningful amount of good content, but it is still weak in many areas, and may lack a key element." The article lacks references in many areas, and does not flow well. It reads as a collection of disjoint information and the formating is poor with lots of white space. Many of the images and charts are valuable and the history is useful, however.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Prosecreator (talk • contribs) 15:39, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Quality Assessment 

message: someone added a weasel words tag to the page without citing a single reason why it has been tagged.  I cannot find any examples either.
I removed the tag until an explanation can be found, it is against wikipedia policy to add tags without stating a reason.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr. jones999 (talk • contribs) 19:47, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, that is untrue. Anyone who believes there is a problem with the  article is free to add a tag. They don't have to justify it on the talk page, although in potentially grey areas like "weasel words", it would have been a good idea for them to do so. Quick examples of weasel words that I can see are "reports claim to say it is a full-size pickup" (which is also grammatically incorrect), and "Domestic truck aficionados still derided it" (which should be deleted). Also please add new messages to the end of talk pages, not the top (I moved this to the end) and sign your messages using four tildes (~). Somno (talk) 01:02, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Weasel Words Tag 

message: I found a number of problems in this section(s). First off, there are two tables - one for months over a limited number of years and one for all the production years. Do we need both? Similarly, there are two section headings 'Sales figures'. Second, very few of these sales figures have any references. Third, the second paragraph starts with 'Currently' but does not state which year it is talking about. I would guess that it is 2007 or 2008 due to the large number of statements about that period but I'm only guessing. Similar for the comment about July is also missing the year. My gut reaction is to rip out the second and third paragraphs - leaving only the single table with most of the first paragraph. Comments?  Stepho  (talk) 08:08, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sales figures 

message: My father, an insurance salesman (also a Toyota expert) says that the 2014 Tundra (released at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show) is really just a refreshed second generation. Really, the body is very similar, the headlights are really the same but just a little bit uglier, and the grille is a little bigger. Sure, the interior is redesigned, but the Mercedes-Benz G-Class just had its interior redesigned and it's not under a new generation, and it also has new running lights.
Thanks,

replies: text: Which is why I tried to delete it when it was first added. Others kept adding it back in, so I at least formatted it properly and said that it doesn't really arrive until Sept. 2013 (originally it sounded like it was on sale in Feb 2013). We don't really know if it is a facelift or a new generation. And the American marketing machine doesn't help "OMG! OMG! ALL NEW!!!" I took a punt on new gen simply becuase the dimensions were considerably bigger but that wa really only my guess (WP:ORIGINALRESEARCH). We won't know until it comes out and we can see if the model code jumps up (usually it jumps by 10 or 20 for a new gen). I prefer to simple delete the whole section as WP:CRYSTALBALL gazing.  Stepho  talk  22:54, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The 2014 model is a refresh. There are interior and exterior design changes, but everything else is identical to the 2013 model so it is NOT a third generation. Illegal Operation (talk) 17:30, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, so now we have opposite views with no proof from either side and no proof likely to be forthcoming until another 6 months in Sept 2013. I will just delete the new section until we have proof of a new model in order to avoid original research and crystal ball gazing. Thanks.  Stepho  talk  22:56, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I am proposing that the 2014 model be put under a facelift sub-section for now since that's what all the information available is pointing to. If new information comes along then we'll update it. Illegal Operation (talk) 08:05, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  It took me a bit of time to get around to it but it's now part of the 'Model year changes' subsection for the second gen.  Stepho  talk  11:12, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

text: Sounds like a thorough facelift, but still a facelift. What does Toyota say? What about the model codes? From what I can tell, a 2WD Tundra 5.7 LWB reg cab (for example) has been USK51 before and after the facelift. By Toyota's usual habits, it would have been changed to USK61 if it was indeed a new generation in their eyes. This from a quick internet search. Cheers,  Mr.choppers | ✎  01:19, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Well I updated the section a bit, but it needs more work.  It still needs the info on the TRD pro models.  A facelift is exactly that, refreshed front (and sometime rear) styling.  The 2012 Tacoma would be an example of a face lift.  This is more of a refresh than a facelift since so much of the truck was changed, but the overall chassis and body structure are largely carry-over.  Caprice 96 (talk) 19:59, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is the new 2014 Tundra really the third generation? 

message: The 2014 Tundra should at least have its own subsection.  It may not have been a full redesign, but it was more than a face lift.  The truck has new sheet metal from the cowl forward and the box has all new sheet metal.  The bumpers, lights, grille, wheels are all new.  The interior is completely new.  There are new trim levels introduced, such as the 1794 edition.  The regular cab short box (6.5') model is not longer in production.  The suspension has been revised to provide softer spring rates.  In short, this is far more than a face lift and it should be clarified as such.  Caprice 96 (talk) 15:24, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  1st Gen Missing Info 

message: The information panel for the XK70 generation listed:
"10-speed Aisin AWRHM50 "Multi Stage Electronically controlled CVT Hybrid System" automatic"
... which is incorrect. The hybrid system in the Tundra is not even similar to the LS 500h system. It is not the AWRHM50 power-split hybrid; it will be the same AWR10L65 as the non-hybrid, with an added parallel motor-generator. There is no reference given to support the incorrect claim - it must be an erroneous assumption of a contributor.

message: What's our sourcing that the i-Force Max is a power-split hybrid? I've seen sources call it a series (which makes since given its layout), but it seems more like a true parallel hybrid to me. I can't see it being a power-split.
