    Hello folks,

    A newbie here from New Hampshire. I'll be buying my first Tundra in the next few weeks. I've been the happy owner of several Tacoma's over the years, but I'm recently retired and the wife and I are going RV'ing with a travel trailer.
    My current midsize rig (Honda Ridgeline) can't haul something quite that big - and as a former GMC and Ford owner in the past, well, I just can't see buying another of either again. So, a Tundra!
    Looking forward to reading and learning.

    -Dave

    Welcome from a fellow New England State of Rhode Island. I just did the same thing, last truck was a Tacoma and since we are upgrading out Travel Trailer I decided to purchase a 2020 TRD Sport DC. You will really enjoy the truck. I am a former owner of several Dodge Rams, but since the Tacoma, i can't go backwards with another Ram. On to the Tundra I say and never lock back at another manufacturer.

    Thanks for the welcome fellas!

    Just curious Johnders, what TT did you guys decide on. I've been looking at Winnebago Minnies in the 23 or so foot range.

    Well it was a bit of an impulse buy, we didn't shop around much but we ended up with a 2021 Colman light 1805RB. It's 23ft roughly. @4500 ish pounds dry. I did opt for an equalizer weight distribution hitch with sway control ( highly recommend). We like it. Plenty of room for my our family of 4. In hindsight I would have maybe opted for something with a bunk bed setup for the kids but oh well.. Truck tows it no problem. An it's small enough to get into tighter spots with less hastle.
