it is just about offical

so after owning my Tacoma for 2 years and listening to my 3 kids complain about my truck being to small for all of use i have decided to trade it in
i have a deal worked up on a 2010 tundra double cab limited trd off road, it has the same miles as my truck (just over 30,000). it does not have all the extras my truck has but close and should make the kids happier. according to a friend that owns one he is getting the same mileage as i am so i hope it will not hit the check book to bad.
the dealer is paying my truck off (i owe 27,500) and i am buying theirs for $33,500.00. from my research of the local market this is a pretty good deal.
i will post some pictures of the truck once i get it, and if you all do not mind i will sick around here anyway

i have learned a lot on this site so i thought i would say thank you to all of you

 

I like the new tundras, definitely post pics when you get the truck. Do you have an plans for the truck? Lift or anything?

 

it already has a leveling kit and 33's so i think i will leave it alone. but we will have to see.
i will post a picture from the dealers website in a few

 

TOO SMALL tell your kids to ride in my truck. The Tundras are pretty bad ass if I ever buy full size that's what I'll be getting.

 

you shoulda told them they have 2 perfectly good legs and are welcome to walk.. that would have shut them up

Nice man! I made the jump up to a Crewmax and really love this truck as well. I went back to the dealership to see if they still had my old taco 4 days after i bought this one... yeah they sold it the second day they had it.

awesome!

dont leave me in the hunting section..i'm counting on you as my pacnorwest ambassador!

plus i need to hook you up on one of my local turkey next spring.

 

I agree no way in hell is the gas the same.I used my friends avalanche over the weekend.it had a half a tank,i filled it before i gave it back and it was $63 for a half tank as much as I would love a full size,no way with the gas prices and mileage.congrats on the new truck

 

sounds good man, i am not leaving.

 

I'm doing the opposite of this right now.

Just sold my 2008 double cab tundra and I'm picking up a 2011 tacoma reggie =)

Enjoy the tundra, it's a great truck!

not sure what to make of the gas mileage, my Tacoma is only getting 17-18 on the freeway, i have driven my buddies and when i took it, it got about that. his is stock so this one may be worse. either way i will deal with it.

my kids are young 10, 8 and 6 but i am 6'4" so i have to have the seat all the way back so even my 6 year old is cramped

 

I've been in hawaii the whole time I've owned my Tundra. After three years my overall average MPG has been 13.5mpg, with 305/55R20 street tires, no lift, all else stock..

 

Holy crap your tall,you could always tie the kids down in the bed . You gotta do whats right

 

Buy a Yaris, wait a little bit, and the kids will be begging you to buy a Tacoma.

Or I'd tell them they can ride economy class (Tacoma) for free, but upgrading to 1st class (Tundra) will cost them.

 

What a nice Dad!
Happy Father's Day to you

 

That's a little weird, man.
