I don't know how Toyota got 282 hp on the new engines but I can tell you that I can chase down my friends new 05 mustang with my dad's new 2005 tundra.

I would really like to see a rear locker but the lsd seems to work well. There are a few things my dad and my self do not like.

1. The tires are too SMALL! They look goofy on the step side, but I just bought a set of lx450 wheels and some 305/70's to fix that for my pops.
2. The whole truck seems like a domestic truck, the dash is not layed out like a well thought out toyota and the just a rip off of a ford. Because of this I will NEVER buy a truck targeted to get domestic buyers into toyota and any toyota made in the USA. The quality in the materials are noticably cheaper.

What we do like:

1. The step sides look really slick with a bed cover and wider bigger tires.
2. The new 282hp VVTi can hall and you forget the crapy interior and cheap materials.
