I had a Tundra for a while and I agree, it was a very nice vehicle and well built. I miss it, I imagine the ex is enjoying it though. My Ford weighs about the same but is lacking about 100 ponies compared to the Tundra 5.7, and it shows. Hoping to get some of that back with a few upgrades now that the power train warranty is up.
It seems Ecoboost is here to stay. I had heard they were gonna do a smaller version of the V6. Curious to see how that plays out. I will say, they are pretty stout little motors. My friend has a Focus ST with the 2.0 Ecoboost. He had a tune and a few other mods, making 22 pounds boost till 7K revs then dropped to 14, it was a fast little bugger. I say it was fast in the past tense, blew the number one piston a few days ago. I was pretty impressed it lasted that long on a cast piston. He took all the mods off and took it to the dealer and they dropped a new motor in it.
The SHO Taurus is an old favorite of mine, I had a 1991 SHO PLUS, That was a fun ride. Guys are now running high 12's with the new model with Ecoboost V6, a tune, and methanol injection. I just wish it still had the manual trans option.
Here at the dealer we know whats going on out there and if we think we can get by the
zone rep's we do the work because we need the work and it's good customer service. (time's are hard at the dealers
now with no customer pay work any more most warrantys are 100,000 miles and no
other maintenance other than oil changes and war. work only pays about 1/2 of the time it takes but it's better than nothing at this point)
Have a 95 Suburban 2WD with a 6.5L Turbo Diesel. 180K miles. Gets the injectors tested every five years. Only maintenance has been fluids.
