The result? A blistering fast 0 to 60 mph time of only 4.4 seconds! That makes this truck the fastest pickup on the planet with factory approved, and warrantied, kit. It's faster than the 2004-06 Dodge Ram SRT-10 (0 to 60 mph in 5.0 seconds), 1991-92 GMC Syclone (0 to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds) and 2007-08 Holden HSV Maloo Ute (0 to 62 mph in 4.9 seconds). The Tundra's TRD compressor is an Eaton Twin Vortices System roots-type supercharger, which uses the newest four-lobe, high-helix rotors, like the ZR-1 Corvette. A water-to-air intercooler system with a low-temp radiator is part of the setup. Included are high-flow fuel injectors, iridium spark plugs, a higher-flow fuel pump and a TRD-designed performance air-intake system. Boost pressure is 8.5 psi at maximum demand. The system provides a significant increase in horsepower and torque. Stock output — 381 horsepower and 401 pounds-feet of torque — improves to 504 hp at 5,500 rpm and 550 pounds-feet of torque. We drove the same Tundra several months ago on the drag strip at Toyota Speedway in Irwindale, Calif. We didn't measure our 0 to 60 mph score but we did record our time and speed in the 1/8-mile sprint at 9.07 seconds at 81.16 mph. Could we hit 60 mph in 4.4 seconds? We don't know but we'd sure love to try.

Also, I've never heard of F-150s having such fucked up problems as warped tail gates, cab/bed rubbing, etc. I love how you change the subject of the topic. Why even bring up the f-150? This topic is about a tundra. It seems like you just want to start a fucking pissing match. And about the payload, ford claims 200 pounds more for the reg. cab long bed, but the toyota is rated 2100 pounds more when comparing the extended cab models. And the engine really doesnt have THAT much to do with towning and has very little to do with the payload. And just for a comparison, the toyota 5.7 makes 381hp and 401ft/lbs of torque. The ford 5.4 makes 300/365. The toyota makes more hp and torque per liter. Now to the transmission. The ford has as shitty 4 speed, while the toyota has a double overdrive 6 speed. Not to mention the tundra has better brakes, and a stronger rear end (you have learned that a rear end is not the bed by now, right?). Oh and despite the toyota making 81 more horsepower, it has the same fuel mileage rating.

That said, I'll still take the Raptor. Its a performance truck that has a fuckin purpose. I'm sure they really aren't that weak... I'd rather have this than the Raptor.  Off-roading isn't that great...

I'm definitely interested. So, what about the Ford Lightning?  I guess it's too slow to be included in the list?  'Twould strike me as a somewhat decent competitor.  But I'm really amazed to see it beat the Ram SRT-10. Yay Toyota.  It's a good day to be a Camry driver :-p. TopShelf Posted at 1:42 pm on Nov. 11, 2008 My dad has that 5.7 without S/C. I'll have to buy it for him.
