Default Tundra double owned

Silver older model Tundra behind me at light making left turn onto express way. Light goes green and I wind 1st gear out to try and get a bite and so then he comes up behind me real fast and cuts across to the other E-Pass lane to try and take me. When I clear the toll I put it to the floor and shut him down but as I'm going up the on-ramp I have to slow way down because lanes merge and I'm comming up on this older Jetta. I'm on the Jettas *** and he's on mine and I see the tundra trying to cut around me across the solid lines so I cut around the jetta 2 lanes and hammer it. Tundras trying to keep up, I shut it down in just a couple seconds at around 100mph and he is about 20 cars back. After I shut it down to 65, I notice him and the jetta coming up fast and they both fly by me with the Jetta in the lead by 2 cars...poor tundra

It wasnt the newer 2nd generation tundra with the 5.7 Force badge, it was a first generation extra cab with v-8 emblem on the back, looked kinda new though, never the less he wasnt having a good day

My 5.7 Double ran 14.80's consistently. Very good for a 5200lb stocker...

Those 1st gens are awesome the first 20 feet. Anything after that, kinda blows. Either way, they are a 15-16 second truck. With the TRD supercharger, they were a mid to low 14 second truck. N/A they trap like 87-88 in the 1/4.

Your double cab weighs only 200 lbs more than my single cab? Wish they were around 4800 lbs like every other RCSB. That'd be good for a tenth or two.

The ones that really run good are the RCSB with the tow package since they have 4:30 gears. Mine was a 4.10 gear truck.

Ive had both. The 4:30s get you off the line a little better but the 4:10's are better for top end. There is barely any difference at all between the 4.10 and 4.30's. My first RCSB tundra was a tow package and had the 4.30s. But it burnt down thanks to jiffy lubes oily rag left under the hood after an oil change. So i went and got me a RCSB sport package which they stopped making last year.

The only time the "top end" argument would be valid is if the truck had no limiter on it and the 4:30 gear is certainly better in the 1/4 on a NA motor...
