Sat in a Tundra

Getting my 25k free service done, and sat in a Tundra limited at the dealer. God damn it was comfortable. Spacious, comfortable seats. Nice big bed. It was a wide truck, which would be a pain to park in a city and hazardous to drive around narrow mountain roads. Also the gas mileage fucking sucks ass. But that is one really nice truck and I left wanting it.

 

My mom has one that I drive when I visit. It’s super nice.

 

Right on

 

I would go with the new F150 with the killer inverter in the hybrid. Perfect for dispersed camping. Or just wait for new Tundra.

 

I am waiting for the new Tundra. I am starting to realize the extra space and ability to pull the family trailers would be nice. I wish it was still coming this year.

 

Not as fun to drive though.

 

Considering the problems the 2016 tacoma had I will have to wait a few years to buy the new tundra.

 

I’ve owned my 16 since new. Not one issue. I must be the minority. 2016 Taco’s matter.

 

Wait until you try to drive that Tundra as a daily driver you will wish you had the Tacoma back. Those things are a pig in the city and yes I have many hours driving an OR Tundra.

 

Love having a bigger bed than most tundras on the road

but yeah, they are comfy inside.

 

Both of my brothers have the tundra. I’ve driven them a few times. Awesome trucks but I would hate it as my daily. I have no need for a full size. Also, from what I can tell, the mods for the Tacoma far outweigh Tundra.

 

Thats gotta be a joke. Get a truck that falls apart before 75k miles simply for the inverter? No thanks

 

But there made with military grade aluminum

 

And it has the sleeper seats when I boondock in Walmart parking lots on the way to the camping. Perfect!

 

That's going to be really interesting to see. 700 miles est per tank also.

 

Better gas mileage than my Taco (probably) while hauling LOTS more gear. Win/win.

 

Well, I mean most full size trucks beat us on fuel mileage. I'd be interested in test driving one just to see what it can do.

Thought that was for when the wife goes in the grocery store?

 

I love both so I bought both and each serve their purpose. The Tundra is big and comfortable and drives great and is my daily driver however I don't live or work in the city. The Tundra is my work horse and what I use to tow my cargo trailer, my dump trailer and my 22' Airsteam and it also hauls my four dogs comfortably in the back where they have a cozy straw bed.
The Tacoma is my toy, my other woman and what I take off roading with a side of mall crawling when it's not sitting on the shelf like a good queen. It's a blast to drive and is an incredibly capable wheeler.

The Tundra has 105k miles and the Tacoma just rolled 8k miles and both have been flawless runners.

 

I wouldn't mind test driving one for the sh*ts and giggles of it. I used to have a GMC Sierra back in early 2010s. It was just a work truck, but I do miss the bigger cab. I DO NOT miss having to fill that bitch up.

However, I'm happier in the smaller trucks.

There's always going to be a "give-and-take" in a full size vs. midsize truck.

 

When is Toyota gonna figure out the fuel mileage equation??
