Florida B.S. Thread

Nissan is going to be putting a cummins in the Titan so Toyota should put a cat in the tundra

 

Yeah, I think it's funny all the people pushing for a diesel. Toyota scrapped the idea of a diesel tundra 2 years ago. They won't be making anything diesel anytime soon.

 

Agreed.

How's your back feeling, by the way? Get some rest?

I love snow! half my firends tell me i’m stupid because i’d rather move somewhere like CO or something that gets A LOT more snow, rather than move to the beach. beach is fun and cool, but hell after a week i’m ready to come back to TN.

one think i’m kinda jelly of the FL gets a lot of is rain! I love rain! sometimes i’ll just go drive around in it.

I bet in 2018 or 2020 they may... but only if chevy sells a lot of them with diesels and the tacoma sells drop. I’ll bet it sure as h*** wont come around by 2016 or any soon than 2018 if it ever gets one.

now i hear the tundra is getting a diesel, so like i said sells on tacoma’s drop and chevy sells a lot of the colorado’s with diesels I think toyota may really look at it.

 

NO IT'S NOT! Like I said in my previous post, Toyota scrapped their idea of a diesel Tundra probably 2 years ago. It is nothing more than a rumor at this point. I spoke with multiple reps about it.

 

Getting better, I will talk to you about the whole thing next time I see you. You coming to lunch today?

 

I do too!

 

Today is no good for me. Getting ready for my trip home and have meetings all day. Wish I could, though.

I'll likely be up at the dealership on the 26th. You remember what time you come in that day?

oh did not see your other post. I thought they were putting one in it in 2017?

nice! I love when it just rains for a whole day or sometimes 3 days here i’ll go drive around go thru a few small creeks i know. allways get out and really look at them before i cross them. but i have crossed a bunch with atvs, and if i feel i can do it in an atv i’ll do it with the truck.

how reliable are those reps? there aren't many articles on it, but these were just about 10 days ago

don't get me wrong, these sites aren't the most legit either

 

I was told over a year ago that they scrapped it, could have changed, but I personally doubt it. Everyone interested, keep your fingers crossed I guess, I personally don't care for the diesel aspect. Then again, I believe that its not likely to happen, but I could be wrong.

 

Not sure what the diesel hype is about, higher intial cost, higher maintenance, and higher fuel price.

Yes I know I'm FI and payed more for it and fuel...

 

i don’t get why so many want on in the taco. just for better MPG? the cast to run a diesel is more all around. i like diesels but only for towing 10k+ I don’t see a real need for one in a mid size truck.

I do kinda wish toyota would make a 3/4 or even a 1 tun truck with a diesel on the tundra line up, like all the big 3 do.

 

Trucking Mag. has a catch all story on diesel in the 1/2 tons. They say over the next 5 years all 1/2 tons will have them. Towing more & more is what people want.Trucking mag says Toyota is talking with Cummings......... Boating mag is also ripping the 1/2 tons as being all about the luxury and are lost as a true truck. Only time will tell but I DO SEE MORE OIL BURNERS COMING DOWN THE ROAD. I could care less about one myself.. But would love for Toyota to make a true hot rod truck with say 450-500 hp...++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

tundra dually

 

get one to tow the taco when you start getting 3mpg and have an sas.

 

I had a duramax before the taco and I love it. Miss it everyday. If I could get that option in a Taco I'd buy one.

 

i want to get a deuce and a half with a flatbed for my tow rig. gues it won't really be a tow rig though, since the truck will be on top of it

 

Awhile back extreme4x4 did a deuce and a half as a tow truck and put a Sami in the back of it
