2011 Tundra Named IntelliChoice Best Overall Value
Intellichoice has named the Toyota Tundra the best overall full-size truck value for 2011. The “Best Overall Value” award is primarily a financial award – IntelliChoice choses winners based on their overall cost, including maintenance, repairs, and resale.
the annual Best Overall Value Awards help to identify best-in-class vehicles that deliver outstanding value and lower than expected costs over time; offering consumers a quick reference to determine which vehicles give them the most bang for their buck
Frankly, it’s no surprise that the Tundra is the winner of this award. The Tundra has won awards from Read more…
Chrysler’s Super Bowl LIE
If you watched the commercial breaks during yesterday’s Super Bowl – you know, the one where the Steelers dug themselves a huge hole before eventually losing the game – you might have seen a very well-done Chrysler commercial staring the new Chrysler 200 and hip-hop mogul Eminem.
While this commercial is definitely compelling, it’s based on a tremendous lie: While the new Chrysler 200 is built in Detroit, it’s no more “American” than any vehicle built on U.S. soil by Honda, Toyota, or Hyundai. Why, you ask?
Because Chrysler is owned by FIAT, and Fiat is based in Italy. See the ad below:
Fox Coilover Suspension Kit on a 2010 Tundra
A coilover system is one of the most cost-effective ways to upgrade the suspension on your Tundra. Fox Racing has come out with a set of coilover replacements that can tighten up the front end of your pickup for driving over rough terrain and which don’t require any special modifications to install.
The Fox Racing 2.5 coilovers make use of Eibach springs and come with all of the necessary hardware for installation. The nitrogen shocks are pressurized to 200 psi, and they can be tuned on the truck. Out of the box, they offer 2.5-inches of lift (hence the name) over the front wheels. The coilovers make extensive use of billet aluminum and really look great once installed. Read more…
Updated Part and Accessory Review System – Please Test
In an effort to improve the speed and responsiveness of the site (which is unfortunately a work in progress), I’ve moved TundraHeadquarters.com to a new server. Unfortunately, this move “broke” the parts and accessories review system.
This prompted me to create a new system more similar to the main site that is also hopefully much easier to use. Features include:
- Over 500 products can be reviewed
- Product reviews include a star rating system, the opportunity to share your comments, and a chance to share your vehicle year, make and model – however
- Anyone can leave a rating on a product without logging in or sharing any personal info
- The top-rated products will always be listed first – as more and more people review products, the best ones will “rise to the top”
Instead of reading a post today, please take a couple of minutes to rate a product or two – check out the new Tundra parts review system here. We’ll be adding more products over the course of the next week or two, but any testing or feedback you can offer now will be appreciated!
Thank you!!
Off Road Evolution’s Solid Front Axle Tundra – The Details
At this year’s SEMA show, Jason encountered a very interesting custom Tundra put together by the people at Off Road Evolution. Off-Road Evolution is one of the premier off-road rig builders and 4×4 parts fabricators and suppliers on the West Coast. The truck was sponsored by Falken Tire, and perhaps the most unique aspect of the entire vehicle was the fact that the front end had been converted to a Dynatrac 60 series solid axle setup – perhaps the only Toyota Tundra currently out there sporting this particular modification.

I had the chance this week to speak with Mel Wade at Off Road Evolution and discuss some of the details surrounding the truck’s build process. Read more…
