    I don't blame ya, that's why we kept our Sequoia, just for the weekends and longer trips with the kids and toys.

    You would be surprised how many people think differently, or, and my favorite, or not at all.

    Personally, I've never had an issue with comfort in the Tacoma and I have done about 35k each of the last two years. But I also don't have your body so I can't compare. That being said, I also absolutely loved the Tundra when I got to rent one so I also can't say I blame you. Hopefully you'll get lots of trouble-free years out of it!

    At 5'11" the 3rd Gen Tacoma is ridiculously uncomfortable with the high floor.

    The seat sucks but there is plenty of room for me at 6'2". I guess we all sit in there a little differently.

    You will be back!

    Went from a 19TRDOR to and 20GMC Denali and several others in between including a 23Tundra before coming back to my 23TRDPro earlier this year.

    Just could not do the full size and the Tundra quality. My tacos were 6MT though so that may have been it!

    I am very thankful for this good information and advice. I'm going to do what you've laid out . The truck cost $66,000 , by comparison engine oil is cheap.

    Hey look, found exactly what I was looking for. Oil chart for your engine from the UK. This CAFE BS really does get old.

    The Landcruiser VJA300 2021- manual from UK with the same V35A-FTS engine.

    It's crazy how high new truck prices have got. I originally wanted a tundra crew max shortbed 4wd sr or sr5 in army green, but I just couldn't swing the money at this time. I'm hoping to eventually get one down the road. Right now I'm working on getting some stuff paid off, and building up my retirement funds, as that time is coming up soon(thank goodness!) I hope you get many enjoyable, trouble free miles from your new tundra!

    You can put lipstick on a Tundra, er, um, pig. Someone had to say it.

    Regardless, hope you enjoy.

    Congratulations, nice looking rig. I'm eventually going to sell my '16 Tacoma and get a new Tundra. Just waiting until the time is right, I love my Tacoma, does everything I need it to do. But, I'm getting older, getting in and out isn't as easy as it used to be. And, I plan on doing quite a bit of traveling and want the full size truck for extra capacity and room. Best of luck to you, enjoy your new ride!

    I can't believe someone traded Taco for fake " full size truck "

    But congrats, its bigger, and definitely has way more space inside. Taco is kinda squished indeed.
