![]() That’s downright awesome for a NA v8, especially one designed in 2006. Speaking of torque down low, the 5.7 is no slouch: I read in an LX570 brochure that the 5.7L makes 90% of its max torque (401 ft-lbs) at 2200 rpm. Very confidence inspiring, though I understand the numbers are bested by other v8s in the segment. Something else about the 5.7: it just feels extremely solid. If I needed to tow more than 8k lbs, I’d be in an HD truck. I expect to continue to put high miles on it and maintain it and have no issues for a very long time. My truck is paid off, and I’m happy to feed it all it needs to keep taking me all the places I want to go, whether I’m towing or not, every single time I want to go. But it is more than enough for what my truck is rated for, and it is PROVEN. Not for the power, as I understand it’s outmatched stock vs stock. Given the choice, I’d still buy a 5.7 truck. My opinion is, its outlook for long term dependability (the only reason I own a Tundra) is favorable but currently unknown. And all the torque down low is pretty awesome. ![]()
