1st impression of the Tundra TRD Supercharged

One of our customers came by to have us install the TRD Supercharger and we happened to have a camera to film it. The TRD Dual Exhaust really made the truck perform!

What are the torque numbers with the added boost?

[jmesutherland]

@2azfeWeb 504HP, 550FT/LB TORQUE

Don't forget this truck weighs 7,200 pounds!!! that's more than a land rover or suburban.

[jmesutherland]

@BobDoleNSatanRmyniGz Actually the heaviest Tundra is the Crewmax 4x4 Limited and it weighs in @ 5,645 pounds.

@jmesutherland and thats because they saved a ton of weight......on a flimsy frame. Which sucks, because I love the look of the truck, but to stick a frame that isn't fully boxed on a full size truck is just lazy. If you don't ever plan on leaving the pavement with them then its fine, but the second you take it off road....its noticeable....very noticeable.

[jmesutherland]

@AbaddonsAnimosity Actually the frame isn't flimsy, they proved it to be quite the opposite when they brought the truck out in 2007 and it out towed every other truck in its same class. I've been offroad with the Tundra on the sand dunes in Dubai and it was great. The current Dodge Ram 4x4 Quad Cab weighs in at 5,291 lbs, the Chevy at 5,423 lbs so the Tundra is still a bit heavier than they are but the weight isn't what makes it better. All the trucks have their own pro's and con's.

ford chassis has the most corrosive chassis in any truck, chevy is the nastiest and sticky. dodge is the heviest, tundra is more like none pro welders assemble it. but the design covers up everything. but for me i go toyota just becuase the engine make long last than any trucks.

[PACKyourSHITfolks420]

@jmesutherland I see you didn't mention FORD! Because you know the FORD is the best! I have no facts to back it up but it's true! FORD yeah! Woohoo! Yeah! FORD! ....and that is my impression of a ford fan.

@2azfeWeb Am I the only one who thinks this isnt impressive acceleration for thoes power numbers?

[Matanumi]

thats what the supercharger sounds like? weird!

[DaRooster3000]

Man all these folks hatin on Toyota can suck it, I have 202217 miles on my 2001 2wd sr5 (extensive mods list) but I just changed the original plugs two days ago, 200k on stock spark plugs fucking ridiculous, this beast won't die

[BOMBERITOSOLITARIO]

i like tundra's drivetrain... but i dont like its body style....very fast truck thou... even more with s/c.

[bigredchevytruck]

You can only imagine how quick this truck is because the stock truck by itself is certainly no slouch. That i-Force V-8 is a beast. My Father has an 09 Tundra Crew Max 4 x 4 that he let me borrow a couple times to move things that I needed a pick up to do. You rest your foot on the throttle on the Interstate and you're doing 80-85 without even trying, the motor is barely even working hard!

@AbaddonsAnimosity I agree, just trying to make the point that some chassis designs are designed to flex and that a boxed frame is naturally stiffer, less flexible and is not necessarily better hence the Unimog example
