I am not talking about the coolant capacity. I am talking about radiators and overall cooling package. The 2nd Gen Tundra has a HUGE radiator that dwarfs the F150 and a big ass mechanical cooling fan. The Tundra's cooling system is more in line with an HD pickup where as my 2014 Max-tow F150...

Correct. But a 6.2L naturally aspirated V8 can run lean/stoich in nearly all conditions while producing 400 hp. A 3.5L TT is facing a bigger challenge to do the same. Unfortunately Fords 3.5L ecoboost is just a spiced up Cyclone and so it tends to suffer under load to protect itself. The first...

The Ecoboost and Tundra just did extremely well in TFL’s mileage loop towing 8100 lbs. The reason the Ecoboosts consume more fuel under load than some V8’s is because they richen to protect the exhaust manifolds and are undercooled, neither of which are an issue for the tundra.

I agree. I dont think a 7.3L or other HD V8 would be much more inefficient once the camper and 35’s are involved. And you can get decent gearing from the factory. A 7.3L with 4.30’s would be a stump puller even with 35’s. Also, a Crewmax 6.5’ bed tundra is basically the same size as a GM or...

It doesnt get hot enough to burn off dilluted fuel, moisture and other crude in the oil probably. If I had to take a guess I think it was one of the reasons so many people had issues with 1st gen ecoboost timing chains. In my experience, all the people who worked their trucks hard on a regular...

2015+ 3.5L trucks have approximately the same payload as a 11-14 3.5L Max Tow truck. My 2014 Lariat Max tow is +/- 50 lbs of any 2015+ Lariat I have looked at with the same options. Ford didnt increase the GVWR with the 2015+ Max-Tow trucks over the standard trucks so they are no longer all that...

The other thing that sucks about the Tundra 3g is the axle ratios. Its 3.31's. If you start throwing 35's and a camper on it I bet it doesnt see much of 9th or 10th gear. My F150 Ecoboost with 3.73's and the 6 speed trans, which is shorter ratios than the 10 speed, shifts a bit more on 35's...

If it were me, and I was buying a Tundra, I'd drive it to a nearest Cat-Scale. I bet most would be pleasantly surprised that they get more payload than they think. At the end of the day, its the GVWR that matters, not the payload sticker.

I got my drivers turbo out in less than 2 hours through the wheel well. Its actually pretty easy. And I am just a bum with some basic tools in my poorly lit garage.

I've posted in that thread under the name "mass-hole"(they wouldnt let me use that name here), and if you look at my posts on the last few pages of that thread you will see that the payload stickers on all the 2022 Tundras are DIRECTLY from the owners manual. I have not seen one door sticker yet...

The eLSD in the expedition is a locker, isnt it? Not a conventional mechanical locker like an Eaton, but it's a torque vectoring differential and so it can vector to both sides and "lock". They even have a lock button on the 4x4 selector knob on the center console I thought.

The eLSD can lock though. It’s just not a true mechanical locker. It’s a clutched diff that can torque vector to either wheel on the fly or two both simultaneously. That combined with the trail turn braking feature the Timberline has is probably very effective. Brake the inside wheel and torque...

I love this feature on my Lexus GX as well. I use it all the time to move my trailer around. I am really disappointed to see it’s no longer in the Sequoia. It would be a huge selling point for me but now the 4Auto tcase in an Expedition is more enticing. And that’s not saying much.

I mean, technically, it is a 3.4L [emoji23]

I think the issue is not in front but behind the topper/tent. The back of your setup is very square. One thing I have seen used in the travel trailer/5th wheel camping world(which are 100% square boxes) are these and i have heard they work quite well. https://www.airtab.com/application-rv.htm...

This was not the original site I was thinking of but these guys are doing a similar thing. You can specifiy the exact thickness in mm as well as the bolt pattern and even get them hub centric. https://www.uswheeladapters.com/shop/custom-6-lug-hub-centric-wheel-spacers-slip-on/

There was a site that I found that made thinner spacers. i'll see if I can find it. I think your best bet would be to run extended ARP wheel studs or something similar so everything stays the correct length.

Thats just the HO motor that makes 440. The regular 3.5 in the normal F150 makes 400hp/510 torque. In the past, the HO that was in the 2017-2020 Raptor and 2019+ Limited models had different pistons, different compression ratio, different exhaust manifolds, and slightly different turbos and was...

That 2400 rpm has to be a typo. To make 348 hp at 2400 rpm it would need to be making like 760 ft-lbs of torque. I am guessing maybe they meant 4400 or 5400.

I get all that. My F150 Ecoboost struggles with heat management. But why would the tow rating on the SR be almost 4000 lbs lower when the engine is approximately the same(or identical except for tuning) as the higher trims? HP and torque are still plenty high enough to keep that 12000 lbs...
