    Kino the Tundra - The More We Explore's 2018 Toyota Tundra Build Thread

    Nice truck. (from a totally unbiased perspective) I see a driver's grab handle in your future. I don't know why they stopped installing them, but it was a great addition to ours. I enjoyed the video, and I bought my truck for some of the same reasons. I wanted long term reliability with a...

    Best interior layout? FWC Grandby

    Well I have a Hawk and we have two dogs (55 pound and 75 pound) and the front dinette model works perfectly for us. The dogs have more than enough room to sleep on the dinette bed. They stay there when we are sleeping, or in our bed wstchung a movie. If we need the dinette to eat at, then the...

    Congrats. Pictures are a must. All Out Tundras and Tundra Crew on Facebook are both pretty decent places for Tundra specific stuff.

    Reliability of Chevy Astro van AWD

    I just retired my 2000 Astro Van (2wd) with close to 300K km on it. It finally needed some cylinder head work and just wasn't cost effective to repair anymore and I needed a newer van for work anyways. (I've given it to some friends who own a farm and it will continue to serve them for years to...

    Softroading the Washington Cascades

    Did a little googling and it looks like that narrow gauge belongs to the landowner (or former landowner, who has (had) a thing for trains, and was looking to develop the area. Apparently their is (was ) a train in the tunnel there at one point a number of years ago...

    Is the Tacoma enough truck?

    My Sister has the Crewmax and yeah, their is a ton of room back there. I removed my back seat in my double cab ot make room for storage and for two dogs. I like the fact the full size truck has more room to raise the seat for more comfort for me. I found that the Tacoma (and Xterra) seats were...

    Is the Tacoma enough truck?

    That there, a couple of the main reasons I went from my beloved mid-size Xterra to the full-size Tundra. I can't comment on the seating or interior of other full size trucks (though I imagine them to be similar) but I love my Tundra seating. In the old Xterra with the smaller seats lower ot the...

    Camper and Truck Photos

    Funny thing, it jumped 14 cents a litre yesterday. Seems totally random, like a bunch of oil exec's in their ivory tower in Calgary or Houston throwing darts a board. It is what it is....I try never to complain too much about it, we're pretty fortunate living here and being able to afford toys...

    Is the Tacoma enough truck?

    If you bought your Tacoma because your a Toyota guy, if you appreciate the pedigree and the proven reliability of the brand then just buy a Tundra and be done with it. I moved up from a well built Xterra (that I thought had tons of power) to a Tundra and have never looked back. I bought the...

    Next Question: Diesel vs. Gas F350

    Slow? Turn the tow/haul on, press the traction control button 3 times...and voila = beast mode. Maybe not fully loaded down, but unladen, in beast mode, my Tundra is, well...a beast. (now where's the two thumbs up emoji?)

    Next Question: Diesel vs. Gas F350

    I consider efficiency part of the bigger picture. Everyone is always so wrapped up in mileage, as if that is all that matters. My truck will "efficiently" get me anywhere....and if I choose not to travel up that long grade at a snails pace (behind all those folks in their little mid-size...

    Next Question: Diesel vs. Gas F350

    I have a 2014 Tundra, lifted with 34" tires and a Four Wheel Camper. We took a 3 week 8600km road trip to the Arctic (all the way to Tuk and back) and I averaged 12mpg over the whole trip. We had the camper loaded for bear given where we were going. I carried 14 gallons of extra fuel (yes, I...

    If I Only Had The Money....

    Totally off topic here....maybe not so much as it;s taken a turn already, but my uncle was in the Flying Squad and I remember him telling tales of the regular plain old non-descript sedans they would modify by adding cement to the trunk and floors to keep them weighed down for better handling...

    FWC Opinions wanted

    The OME leaf packs will raise the rear a couple inches. With the camper loaded and on, it will settle down some. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
