DC or SC

If I was going to get on of these trucks just because its fast and I planned on buying all the performance goodies; would it be stupid to get the dc because it weighs like 250 lbs more? How much with that extra weight affect the truck?

A general rule of thumb in drag racing is remove 100 lbs and drop 1/10 sec.

RCSB is what you should get. They look the best as well IMO

Thanks guys. I've read on here that a rcsb can be up to a sec faster in tha quarter mile. How can that be if it only weighs 300lbs less 300lbs=3/10sec right? Is there any other reason why the rc's are so much faster?

From numbers I have read from other posts, the doublecab short box weighs about 5360 and the single cab short box weighs about 4600. That is somewhere i n the 750 difference or about 3/4 of a second on 1/4 mile stuff.

There's lots of variables. Again, the 100 lb & 1/10 second is a general rule of thumb.

I'd say get the RCSB.

Here's a RCSB video of 0-115
YouTube - 07 Tundra 0-115mph

Here's a DCSB from 0-70ish and you can see the acceleration diffferences. I have Borla exhaust too.

It's definitely quick but not as fast as the RCSB.

Thanks for your input guys. Looks like the rcsb is the way to go for speed

If you have kids or more than 1 friend, get the DC. If you want the faster truck, get a RC. If you want to go faster, get a sports car.

Thanks man but being 20 insurance on anything sporty kills me. A new or newer mustang like $700 a month thats been the same for pretty much any sports car I've looked into. The quotes I've gotten for the tundra are in tha low 200$ range. Besides the tundra is almost as fast as most stock sports cars anyway. Thanks for your input

Ahh, to be 20 again. No thanks, but I did have a blast. Just wait 'til you get hitched, and have a few kids. I don't even pay $700 for every 6 months!

yeah i'm glad i'm in my 40's seems everything gets cheeper after 30
insurance for 6 months for my tundra a honda accord a 30ft travel trailer and house included is around 900 for everything per 6 months. that's through USAA it's more through the general insurance company's.

I heard that as you get older your car payment goes up but your car insurance goes down

TUNDRA786 · #15 (**permalink**) 12-12-2007, 09:59 AM

I think thats very true.
Before the Tundra i was paying 360ish for New Mitsu Galant.
I got the Tundra and am now paying 623
Insurance went down by 5-8bucks a month though.
