    Ya, but he offered a video, and we all want a good vid.

    Thanks for speaking for me, but I already gave him an out.
    Is it so wrong that I like a good burn out video?

    Everyone has expectations and mine were not met when I test drove the gen3. I get that a lot of people are happy with the new power train and as well they should be. The 2gr-fe in our sienna offers very smooth and efficient power but I would never expect it to do what I expect from my truck. I wish everyone the best and for the record... I don't lie.

    I’ve been towing my Miata to the track with 33’s. I understand this engine doesn’t have the power plant of a Superduty or anything but it doesn’t do to bad. I recently towed my Miata from Atlanta to Charlotte Motorspeedway, with the mindset that this trip was going to be miserable and I’d be buying a Tundra. To my surprise, it did surprisingly well. No need to move up to a larger truck at this time.

    Yeah, like I said if the tongue weight is low enough, and the trailer heavy enough, how could it not spin?

    Oh, exactly. It really means nothing, but hopefully a smoke show.

    OP, along with half the ppl on TW that think that its not reasonable to have to go a little slower when you tow, you really need to have one of these to tow anything that large.[​IMG]

    Lol, there will be no smoke show. How much tongue load from a 27' 4700 lb dry wt rv? It feels plenty.

    I tried uploading a video (not the one you're waiting for) and after 20 min, I gave up. My upload speed is about .5 mbps. I am rural and internet is slow and expensive!

    You think that wait is bad, on TW this guy said he would get us a burn out vid if his post got 10 likes, now we are waiting for vid. Oops that's you. :poking:
