Anybody here that can tell me something about this engine. Lookin for a crew cab. Happen to see a Tundra that might fit the bill.

Great engine. Strong. My tundra is awesome! Pulls hard, tows well. :shrugs: Gas mileage ain't great but then again I didn't buy a big v8 hoping for it either.

Knew when it got here I wouldn't hear much.

What else do you want to know? Try reading some of the tundra forums you'll get way more info and responses than from here. There are very few of us that actually own one here and have responses based on actuality vs magazine reviews.

Not much different than GD.

I can think of only 3 people here who have a V8 Tundra.

I don't own one but I am a tech at a dealership, the tundras are my favorite trucks on the road right now. I don't see a lot of problems, except the frames rusting out on the older body style lol. What kind of info are you looking for?

I seem to recall one of the avid racers on here having one.

I have an 08 4x4 Tundra doublecab with the 5.7.

It is a truly awesome motor. I have a 3500 lb. 24 foot car hauler with a flat front, and I have towed it with more than 4000 pounds in it and the truck never misses a beat. The power is amazing, the brakes are amazing, and the transmission is amazing. Fuel economy is decent when not towing - 15-18 depending on the situation but it does fall off sharply when towing as to be expected.

I absolutely love my Tundra. The comfort, power, handling, braking, off road capabilities - all of them meet or exceed my needs and expectations.

The crewmax is great, but I prefer the extra bed space, and I can fit 3 car seats in the back seat of the double cab just fine.

Quoted because it is all true.

My dad has a 2007. It's a double cab with the extended 8' bed, that truck is LONG.

The 5.7 is beast, it PULLS off the start, can't imagine what it would feel like with the supercharger. We've easily pulled stumps out and everything else with that truck. He's pulled a semi out of some mud before, it was really impressive.

Was looking at a crewmax. Dealer wouldn't get to the price I wanted.
So I bought a Dodge mega cab with the 6.7
Now I gotta get the Edge programer. Then I can put the Juiced with Attitude back under my SN. LoL
