Wink Well goodbye Tundra I guess...

Looks like the only smart thing to do is get rid of the Tundra. Sure it has given me no problems. There are just too many problems with others. I cannot sleep at night thinking about the following:

The tailgate might not open
The cam might go
The bed might bounce more then a Ford
The leaf spring bolts are too small
Toyota has not released a commercial showing the Tundra hanging from a bed bolt.
The clock might lose time
The oil change has that damn protective shield that I have to remove and a different than the normal filter setup
The rear end might make noise
The Texas rims are out of balance
The gas gauge is not exact
The ABS works like it should
The hubs only have 5 lugs!!
The dash lights might go nuts when I add aftermarket stuff to the truck
The seatbelt buzzer.. nuff said
The stereo might eat my cd's and never work again
The keyfob might not work after I wash my truck


And I learned all of this on the internet, on tundrasolutions.com's Tundra section. In the first 3-4 pages!!

When will it end?

I miss the old TS

I cry myself to sleep every night thinking of what a mistake I made.

You should run out and buy a new Ford F-450 Dualy. This way you will be able to haul a bag of groceries home safely because you know your old Tundra is not fit carry any type of load safely because it's profits are sent overseas.

Default Re: Well goodbye Tundra I guess...

here are a couple you left:

rear end noises
transmission problems
keyless entry only has a 3m working range
whistle noise from mirror

and my favorite

the ride is too rough, like a pick up truck!

That last one was almost the last straw. I am waiting for just one more before I take mine back.

How about " I bought a factory remote start that cost twice as much as the top of the one out today, and even though it says 80 ft, i want it to work longer!"

Yeah, you be safe out there too!

I was think of posting nearly the same thing as the thread starter, but wasn't sure when the "issues" would hit critical mass, and cause me to abandon the Tundra on the side of the road.

Apparently Black GTS just "cracked" a little earlier than me...
