    Just do it, OP. Sounds like a great truck that has all the bells and whistles. As for parking a "full-size" truck. What? Damn, half the women here in Texas drive full-size trucks and have no problem parking them. I guess if you had only compact car parking spots to pick from, then OK, I can see where that would be a bit difficult.

    OP, sound like you want the rig. I have not regretted my choice. Drives smooth, shit-tons of power on demand, and room for friends/family. The only problem with the Tundra I have is the lack of a decent bed-size on the CrewMax. Argh. If they would just couple the DC bed with the CM cab configuration, that would be awesome.

    ya and the best part is it only has 10,000 miles and its a 2010. I know the bed is a bit small but is big enough to carry dirtbikes and the hunting dogs:)

    OP, if you get that bad-boy, first thing is to BHLM those disgusting stock chromed out headlights! Looks great on white Tundras and Tacos for that matter.

    I BHLM'ed mine with my son. Was easy and it is constantly a source of compliments. Makes the front end look mean.

    If money were no object, I'd get a duramax but realistically, if I were to get a full sized, it'd be a toss up between the Sierra and the F-150. Although I did ride in a new Dodge and the thing rode like a dream. I haven't kept up on Dodge's current situation but I know a while ago they had a lot of mechanical issues.

    Sorry for the threadjack :eek:

    I would keep the Tacoma. The tundra is a gas hog. My neighbor owns one, my friend owns one, and I drove one for two months. They all average 13 to 14 mpg (all 5.7l 4X4). My Ford F250 V10 got better mileage. In the best conditions you may get over 16 mpg but it's not the norm. But it's your money so spend it as you like.

    My F250 got 17.2 mpg one day. Tundra got 16.2 mpg one day. Yes, some claim high mileage on their tundras but just like my Tacoma avg is 17.4 mpg and other have 20 mpg plus. I weighed over getting a tundra but I spent hours looking at many different websites and determined that I didn't need something that average 14 mpg.
    Yes, the tundra will not behave like a tacoma when offroading.

    If ur averaging 14MPH stock then ur foot is too heavy or something is wrong. Lifted, sure as expected.
