    Hi everyone. I’m new to the Tundra world, I just picked up my 2019 Platinum Tundra this past weekend. It was time to let go of my Tacoma, needed more space and better towing. I can’t wait to start building Tundra!

    Welcome. I'm about 3 1/2 months into the same exact journey. TW is still awesome, but I don't regret the upgrade. Tundra's will strip your wallet as bad as TW :(

    That Tundra looks nice. Is it still riding on stock suspension?

    Thanks, I’m definitely loving it so far!

    Thank you :D:D

    That’s awesome, glad I haven’t been the only one making the switch. I’m already feeling the pains, as I’ve ordered a few things already haha:rofl::spending:

    Yeah it is for now. I do miss my Pro suspension from the Tacoma. They both ride very differently though.

    I think it looks really good at stock height even. I may be in the minority on this site but I do prefer stock height up to TRD Pro height at the most. Not a huge fan of lift kits in general. I like the stance of your truck with those wheels.

    I did the same in July.
    Traded a 2018 Tacoma TRD Offroad (purchased new) for a 2020 Tundra Crewmax 4x4 (also new)

    I do not regret it at all.
    My only regret is not doing it sooner. In fact... I never should have bought the Tacoma in the first place.
