4.7 vvt-i, smoothness and precision is about the same as the 5.7/6-spd in my CrewMax. Toyota really got these drivetrains down right. Power on the other hand, it's a world of difference. The 5.7 is has so much more power over the 4.7. I got the SR5 2WD double cab 4.7 as a loaner and my CrewMax 4WD 5.7 is as heavy as these Tundras come and my CrewMax feels a lot lighter (Probably due to gearing) and more powerful than this 4.7 double cab. Also on the freeway, my CrewMax is running about 1900 RPMs @ 70 MPH and the 4.7/5spd combo runs @ 2100 RPMs @ 70 MPH. There's a few hills on the way to the dealership on the freeway, my Crewmax never downshifts, holds 6th gear @ 65 MPH through the hills. The 4.7 has to downshift from 5 to 4th to maintain 65 MPH on those same hills.

93cruiser, when I first noticed the problem I had about 275 miles on her. Two weeks later when I brought it in, I had about 1500 miles on the clock.
I agree with the rest of you as far as Toyota replacing the transmission and torque converter, I was very please to hear it and wasn't expecting it. I was expecting to hear they flushed my tranny fluid or something. This is the fourth Toyota my family has bought new and the first one we ever had to deal with warranty work and like I stated in my original post, Toyota and my dealership are taking care of me very well.
