1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I took it to and from work for 3 days in a row. I'm serious when I mean those features are just annoying. Last thing the car needed was more blinking garbage at the driver. I left the blind-spot monitors on because they don't beep or anything they just have a light that comes on on the mirror housing if there's someone in your blind spot.

 

With all this talk of sensors and such, would I hate moving to a 2015 Tacoma from my 2003?

 

That's because you're losing traction on one of your wheels and vsc is kicking in

 

2015 was pretty "simple" by todays standards.

 

I think only you can answer that question. The 2015 don't have a lot of intervention other than VSC/TRAC (which can be disabled) and abs. You start to get all these other useless bullshit features with the 3g trucks.

 

Before when my abs was working vsc worked but now it just beeps but does nothing

 

just remember. i call dibs on the 1st gen. since yall want my tundra so bad

 

I don't know how the VSC works on yours. My Lexus has a weird implementation of it

 

If i dont give it a code and try drifting it in the rain or just drive 2wd in sand it will cut engine power and lock up a wheel or 2

It works really well to get you going straight again

Havnt had it try to correct outside those 2 scenarios

 

I'll deliver it to you. I think I gave up on wanting your Tundra since having 5 seatbelts is very nice...

 

Okay that sounds sort of similar to mine. Except I don't think mine has any hydraulic intervention if you're not already breaking. Wouldn't do much good anyway since I have a torsen limited slip. My rear wheels are basically locked if I'm on the gas at all

 

in light of current situation. all i have is 1500 on hand.

 

Carvana.com quoted me $2,054 trade-in.

 

I've got an eighth of that set aside if you want to sell the tundra. That's the most I can offer considering you never painted it and now the tailgate is dented

 

thats insulting.



i'll give ya 3k and come get it!

 

Ruthless.

 

Woah.. tundras not for sale.. i have to go pickup my new taco with it

 

I had a question for you. How did Toyota end up with such a corny name like iForce for that one tiny V8. But none of the other ones ended up with the name that sounds very much like it was trying to be a knockoff Apple product.

 

? the 5.7 is Iforce too... its on the badges on the side of the trucks.
it was marketing in the 2000s. it was the first "intelligent" v8

 

Intelligent? Because it had variable valve timing on the intake cam? I can't think of any other features that has that are groundbreaking
