Buh Bye Tundra

Hey guys & gals,
So my tundra experiment is over, I traded it in tonight for a 13 TRD OF DC 4WD Mag Gray.
I went back & forth between that & the sport, but the Sport I test drove in the color I wanted didn't have a tow package....weird.

Really psyched to be back home!
I pick it up tomorrow after I take all my aftermarket goodies off my other truck.
The tundra was nice but my priorities changed & honestly it feels so much more fun getting in & driving the tacoma.
Look forward to modding first will be some seat covers & my sig.

 

Damn you change vehicles alot. Welcome back!

 

LOL my last tacoma I drove for 5 yrs & my pre-1GEN 10 yrs. It's the tundras that screw me up. You would think I would learn.
Thanks for the welcome back

 

Welcome back!!

 

Welcome back!! Great choice in the color too

 

I am thinking about doing the same as OP...put on 10k miles on 2011 Taco DCSB PreRunner 6mo later -> 2012 Tundra DC 4.6 L 4x4 base I had it for 8 months-> thinking about getting 2013 taco DCSB TRD OR 4X4...I lost very little money on Taco trade-in but I have a feeling it will not be the same with Tundra. Sigh....

 

My 10 year anniversary today!! ❤️
I don't post that much any more but I love my truck as much as the day I bought it. No troubles in 116k miles and mostly stock! Thanks TW miss you guys and gals. Oh and Simon is still in the house. 16 years old!

 

I'm happy the puppy is doing well. Glad you stopped by to check in!

 

Good boy, Simon! I am on the 15th year with my mostly stock 2009 Sport AC. And our little guy JRT mix Eli is 17 YO. His eyes look a bit like Simon's with cataracts. But he is healthy and happy.

 

Welcome back to the family, Judy, and cute pup!

 

Yes the cataracts makes it hard for him to do stairs. I carry him alot. Does your little guy like to ride in the truck still? Way to go Eli!

 

Oh yeah, he is always ready to go! He thinks the Tacoma is the fun ship. Except when we drove to Maine. Then he got grumpy and wanted out.

 

Hey Judy!
Been a while welcome back.
I’ve moved from my 08 to a 12 and now an 18.
10yrs and a few days for me!
You gonna check in at the Vermonter thread?

Jeff

 

He is soooo cute! Simon likes short trips too now. Same for his walks. I just can't imagine my life without him. Not gonna think about it rn.

Hi Jeff! How you liking your 18? Tell me more!
I've thought about a new truck ....actually almost went to a F150 v8 buuuttt I came to my senses not really needing to sell mine. Dealer games ended that bull$h!t. I'll peek into our Vt thread and post up. Maybe become more active here again. No snowmobiling so gotta do something lol!

 

Welcome back Judy..

 

Thanks Mike

 

You'll like the 13, I've had great luck with mine. Over 100,000 trouble free miles since I got it, just regular maintenance.

 

Simon looks to be about the same age as my Dachshund, Porkchop. Great pooch and a great truck. Welcome back to the Tacoma.

 

Jazzand Simon would get along famously, I’m sure

 

Oh yes just had my 10 year anniversary with the 13 on 1/11/23. Back in 2012, I traded my 06 Tacoma for the 2011 4.6 Tundra but my dachshund Simon had anxiety in it. Something made him super upset, the sound of engine, i dont know what. I tried for almost a year but he shook so bad. I traveled a lot back then so he had to go with me. Also the 4.6 gear hunted and drive me crazy. Those two things made me trade it for the 13. We both have about the same mileage 116k on mine. Love it still though, I use my 13 Camry more now. The truck is used for towing and off trail camping now.

Thank you! Love the name porkchop!

Oh Jazz, so cute!!! Yes they would!!
