diesels got way more torque than my truck.
I pulled with them a few times. finished near last.
that drag will stop 20,000 lbs semis
i pulled against mostly 1/2 @ 3/4 ton gas pickups
the new tundra is the best built gas powered truck out there.
beleive me I know.
made over 50 tips down the track last year with a drag behind me
not 1 broken part or problem...
So what's the highest gear were you using? Gasoline brand and octane?
Did you have to put weight on the bed for traction? VSC off? Was the pedal floored all the way?
Sorry for too many questions. Its just interesting to see it.
btw guys my wife has done all the work on my myspace.
I never have used it till yesterday.
just thought that I would back up toyos claims.
I bought my truck for just what you saw.
art 64,
most of the time last year I shifted from 1st to 2nd
1st is to slow for pulling (only 15mph)
2nd is to fast( 25 mph) so basicly stock the truck lugged down to 4,000 rpms
in the 6,000# class i had to add about 100 lbs
7000# class add about 1100 lbs behind the cab in bed
8000# class had to add 2100 lbs behind cab
I basicly used 93 oct whatever
can you say wide open even when shifting.
VSC is off in 4lo
thanks guys
any more ?s just ask.

Wow. Thanks for the info. This is a whole new way of demonstrating the capability and durability of this truck. And this is a stock Tundra? Incredible.
but at the last pull
I pulled in there class at less than 8000#s
with a taller hitch 27" to 20"
and would have finished 3rd or 4th
winning DMax went 210 and I went 199 ft
they went up to 4th gear
I just left it in 1st
I think that the hitch hieght helped but I may have done better at 24"
It was so close because the drag was set so fast.
we use a 325 ft track.

Man wonder how you would do with 5.12 gears/true lockers, and beefier tires(BFG mudders, etc)/suspension etc...Probably would whoop up on some Dmaxes and other diesels.

Great Vids and My Space. Keep us posted on future runs and how the Tundra is holding up. This could be a great testimonial to great truck if it holds up.
