Toyota Tundra Thoughts?

Bought my big red Tundra Crew Max new in Raton in 2008. Still have it with only 65,000 miles. Left Colorado in 2015 and we now live in the “rust belt” (Illinois). I am pretty confident that I have one of the very few 2008 Tundras in Illinois without any rust. My Tundra is a great vehicle without any problems other than the gas mileage which is not real great. Had dual exhaust put on a couple years ago and noted a very slight improvement in the MPG. Resale value on this truck is in the neighborhood of $21,000. Wow, guess I’ll keep it until I take up residence under the sod.

I never saw myself buying another new truck. But I really like that Colorado.

The new Colorado is pretty nice. It's rated as a mid-size truck, but it seems to be about the size that full-size trucks used to be in the '80s.

2013 Tundra TRD crewmax limited. I had one of the original Tundras from 2000 and sold for $7500 in 2013 before buying my new truck. Got the new for the bigger rig, more room and towing capacity.

I did not buy for gas mileage I bought for the quality of the product. Just like my last Tundra no issues. It is my daily driver and every fall I load up my pups for pheasants. I have plenty of room for gear or other dudes.

Heated seats in the winter a godsend. I can set my defrost and heated seats to high in the winter and with the remote start come out to a warm truck when I work my 2-10 shifts.

This summer I rented a trailer and towed it to Taylor Park Reservoir. It was close to 7000 pounds loaded. Averaged 9 miles per gallon. Had no problem keeping speed limit. If I bought new I would get the larger 38 gallon tank if I was planning on getting a trailer. If I do purchase a trailer I will get an aftermarket 40 gallon fuel tank.

I am looking into purchasing a medium size trailer that I can tow comfortably to use until I retire. The rv market have many options to choose from to meet most family needs.

I hope they come out with an HD before I retire and get a fifth wheel. But who knows the libtards will probably find a way to ban diesels and ruin something else we all enjoy.

Went and drove a Tundra today. Gonna buy one.

Need to find a good auto broker to work the transaction for me. I just can't handle dealing with the dealer games and then walking away feeling like I got the short end of the stick. I've purchased a new Honda and a new Subaru via an auto broker and both transactions were almost completely painless. Time to get the ball rolling on a Tundra.

I just bought a 2003 Sequoia, which is the SUV version of the Tundra. 4.7L gasser with a four speed automatic and 4WD. It has 150,000 miles, but just changed the timing belt/water pump, so I expect 300k with regular maintenance. I used to have a 2000 Sienna and the Sequoia reminds me of the minivan except the Sequoia is far more comfortable. It won't be a daily driver but will make a nice long road trip vehicle. Now I need to decide what to do with my F250. I wish I had more places to keep vehicles parked and out of the weather.
