Goodness I love the look of that new Tundra.

They got a slower 0-60 in the EB (7.74) than they did in the hybrid (7.41).

I think they just floored it on green. If they brake boosted it, it would have shot out of the hole and crushed that 7.74 IMO.

edit: Same goes for all the turbo Vehicles I guess.

I actually prefer when they don't brake boost.

Especially when they use launch control options when those exist, it doesn't give me a good idea of how fast that car really is when I'm just goosing it from a light to get over into the right lane or something. A "normal" launch is more apples/apples.

Also, they are up at high altitude, so the hybrid should kick it even harder here at sea level!

At least the Maverick wasn't the slowest, it could have taken the Nissan.

Maverick just needs to be 300hp. I’m waiting on a tune. But it is quick stock

People may think I'm full of , but I still think the FWD ecoboost will outrun a AWD ecoboost in the 1/4 mile. Less weight and driveline losses. As long as the tires aren't complete garbage, it'll hook up well enough as the turbo takes a second to spool anyway and so smooths out the launch.

Wonder how the hybrid would do since it would use the electric motor to make up for the altitude difference and no lag off the line.

Same guys had the hybrid last week and it was faster

Boy I hate the look of the new Tundra. I guess it evokes strong emotions on both sides.

Motorweek got their EB AWD Mav to go 0-60 in 6.2 seconds on the track. I’m pretty sure they’re in Maryland.

That makes a lot of sense to me too..

Didn't TFL truck get their Hybrid Maverick to do 0-60 in 7.4 sec? That's only about 1 second behind!

It’s that instant torque from the electric motors that makes all the difference especially at higher altitudes. Turbos still do better than NA engines at higher altitudes, but you never have to worry about the thin air with an electric motor
