I have a 2010 SS and a 2013 Tundra and love them both. The Tundra with the 5.7 liter engine drives very nice and smooth. They have plenty of power and look great. I don't regret buying either. It is nice having a truck for when I want to do things like hunting or taking my bike in the mountains for a ride......very convenient to have.

Thank you sir! Anything you dislike about the Tundra besides the poor gas mileage?
I might end up buying both.
Thanks again

Two different vehicles for two completely different purposes. No comparison. Only you have the answer as to what genre of vehicle fits your needs.

Honestly I love it! It just drives great and looks awesome. There's really no regrets at all, especially since it meets all my needs and more. We have the crew max so there's so much room in the back with plenty of leg room even with the front seats moved all the way back. The back window rolls down and I think that's cool as hell. I think either vehicle you get, you won't regret it.....as stated above, it all just depends on your individual needs.

If you're going to buy a truck then by a mans truck, Silverado.

mariojmoe · 09-24-2014, 12:45 AM

I had a 2010 tundra 5.7 crew max trd 4x4 sr5 with every option available minus leather and navi. That thing was amazing, quick, and was very smooth. I only put 21k miles on her until 2012 when i trad3d it in on the new F250 diesel fx4. At times I still miss it, the fuel mileage was non existent otherwise was a damn good truck. Its a hard choice for you op.

This is one of those many threads that makes no sense to me.

First, you are contemplating the purchase of a "new" (to you) vehicle and seem to have your choice narrowed down to a sports car or a pickup truck. Any sane purchaser would not buy a Camaro if they really need a pickup. Likewise, they would never purchase a pickup if they really want a sports car. Apples and oranges, my friend. The choice should be simple unless you just have $30K+ to piss away on an extra vehicle. If it's more than that, ask yourself which do you NEED? I'm pretty sure you don't need a sports car... you just want one.

Secondly, you are on a Gen5 Camaro Forum and ask, "anybody drive either one?". Ummm, chances are most here have driven a Gen5 Camaro (I would guess 95%, minimum). Maybe not a 2012 or maybe not even a SS, but that's really kind of a dumb question (see... there is such a thing as a dumb question). In addition, of the thousands of C5 Members you are addressing here, chances are very few have driven a Tundra (I would guess 5%, maximum).

The real reason why I hate these kinds of nonsensical threads is: Look how much time you made me waste on replying to your question, and how much time other members have wasted reading my rant.

I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY!

If you were asking input to decide between a V6 or a V8 Gen5, or a coupe or a vert... it would all make sense. But since you are asking input to decide between an apple or an orange, suck it up and MAKE A FREAKIN' DECISION!!!

If you have that option... do it!

I had a 1000 hp 99 silverado, I miss it, thought about selling the camaro and building another one. But I guess that's not why you want a truck.
