Long-Term Road Tests

the real question is - is man/girl funnier than girlie-man?
 
Well, i did'nt want it to be that avious that thats what i was calling you,glad you could clear that up.and the real question is,when you turn the silverado on,does it return the favour?i sure hope it does'nt.then again if you are a girlie man,you just might like it....LMAO

This is what he said,...."Another thing I really like about the Chevy is the size - yes, it's big but the Tundra feels bigger and more DIFFICULT! to MANAGE !around town." center stack?
oh!so it's the center stack's fault?
 
nice to see you guys sticking together though.did he read the post and ran to you/dad complaining?

Toyota4Life,
 
In another post I complained about the Tundra's flat and distant center stack while lauding the Silverado's driver-centric design. That might be part of what Brian's noticing -- since the Silverado's center stack is canted toward the driver, it makes the cockpit feel more carlike (hence smaller?) than the Tundra's.
 
Also, I should note for the record that the phrase "maybe because your [sic] a LITTLE man/girl!" did not appear in my post about the Tundra's driving demeanor.
 
:D

"Better at what ? it's great that briancam loves the GM better,i bet he did'nt realize josh posted how small the tundra drove,talk about egg on your face. "
 
Different people are allowed different opinions.

It's just the Chevy is better.:)

please tell me thats not where he keeps the navigation screen,maybe he will look up just in time to see the tundra comming at him.

BOUT 15 MPG COMBINED, better at times.

wow I just noticed the silverado has 27,000 on the clock. geez... that's a lot of fuel. and for as many miles as that thing is getting driven nobody is talking about it! :)

Don't be defensive, everyone know the Tundra is a good truck.
 
It's just the Chevy is better.:)

And to think I was interested in the Versa! Yikes!

There must be 2 Tundras in the LT fleet...

Another thing I really like about the Chevy is the size - yes, it's big but the Tundra feels bigger and more difficult to manage around town.

..........maybe because your a LITTLE man/girl!.......Okay, so the Tundra’s a tad unwieldy. But you knew that already. What hasn’t received as much attention in these blog pages is how remarkably easy the Tundra is to drive. It has what I would describe as a general (and far from unbearable) lightness of being. The steering wheel, for example, is surprisingly compact, and it delivers excellent path accuracy while requiring minimal effort to manipulate – traits one would expect to find in a Camry or Avalon, not a 5610-lb truck. The cabin is well-insulated from the outside world, and the suspension glides smoothly over the road despite its proletarian purpose. As for the Tundra’s preposterously powerful V8, well, if you leave it in 2WD and hammer the throttle at, say, 20 mph, the entire front end lightens up in a hurry – it almost feels like the truck is going to pull a drag racer-style wheelie. In short, Tundra manages its mass remarkably well when liberated from the claustrophobic confines of parking facilities and such. I’m not convinced this is a good thing for the rest of us – at one point, lulled into complacency by the truck’s graceful manner, I almost ran over a Versa – but Tundra owners certainly won’t complain.

Felix the cat DVD on sale at the local car wash for $1.99
 
The storage area IS a lot of plastic but that doesn't keep it from being useful. Each area is lined with a rubber pad. I like it better than the Tundra's solution which is to have tons of storage in a folding armrest.
 
I didn't ask about the transmission as it doesn't seem all that bad to me - it does shift hard out of first when cold. It doesn't seem terrible to me.

Lol, whats up with the Felix the Cat stuff? Is that a DVD or something?

What, did Chevy pay you to post something positive?
 
/end sarcasm
 
:)
 
That center storage area looks like alot of plastic, meaning a good opportunity for an eyesore of cheapness. But in that picture, it looks really nicely integrated with the black surround and it looks like the plastic is a nice quality matte finish.
 
By the way: Quaker Granola Bars? Chocolate Chip version, right? I've had one already today. :)

Any update on the transmission repair and the seat problem?
