    Hey guys, traded my 05 Tundra for a 12 TRD Sport DC. Just wondering what everyone thinks is the good and bad about this year? Big or small. Any known issues I should be on the lookout for?

    '12 TRD Sport UPGRADE, DCLB bought new. Only issue I have had was lift/tires induced VSC instability but I was a rookie buyer and learned some stuff along the way. All good otherwise.

    Short bed = Bad
    Long bed = Good

    :D

    All years after '12 no longer have the wheelwell cubby holes in the bed (over the rear tires).

    You got a good year.

    Thanks guys, it's a short bed. Never noticed anything about cubby holes over the wheelwell but I haven't really paid attention, just noticed the other ones back there. Pretty much the truck I've wanted for a few years, just gotta get some step bars and I'll be set. Even though it's just for looks, I love that hood scoop! LOL

    I love mine compared to the '11 Dodge Avenger I had. Then again we've always been a truck family LOL, I have a long bed but I was told that long bed is sport only/automatic only as well?
