Hi been watching you for years now I have a 2008 Tundra 130000 miles 5.7 V8 I have to be very mindful depressing the gas pedal from a stop otherwise it will lurch forward or bark tires is it normal to have to use a feather touch from stop worried if I am least bit not on top of it and behind someone I might lung forward instead of a light acceleration love the power just wanted to know if such a touchy gas pedal is normal
You might have junk built up in your throttle body
I would say so. Have you had the truck since new? If so, is this a sudden thing?
Trucks are geared lower for torque (the force that pulls you back into your seat is torque). I just bought a 2014 F-150 with the same engine and transmission as my Mustang. Sometimes I touch the gas a little hard and wind up "hosing" it. My truck has a 3.73:1 final drive, vs my Mustang's 3.31:1 drive ("taller" gears significantly multiply torque), but it also helps decrease your gas mileage as a consequence.
I have not owned it since New was bought used 4 years ago 110 ish thousand miles for 11.500 dollars always had Fords grew up on them this was my first Toyota did not know if it was maybe a thing with Toyota tundras thank you for a quick response lol wish it had been a southern truck instead of northern fighting rusted brake lines but I needed to replace my poor old 87 F 150.
@malenurse No problem. Trucks can be touchy if they have a lot of power.
