Getting back into a Tundra

Hello all. As the title stated, I’m looking to get back into a tundra. Little back story. I had a mgm 2017 crewmax that I loved. After owning it for 4 months or so a teenager rear ended me and bent the frame. Totaling it. I went the Tacoma route after that and instantly regretted it. Tacoma is a great truck but I’m 6’3” 275. Not the truck for me.

So now I’m back on the hunt for a tundra. Any advice on what to avoid/ look for? I’m wanting to find either a Cement or MGM (preferably a cement) crewmax, 2018+. Certified. 4x4. Under 40k miles.

 

No helpful advice beyond the obvious (auto mags, auto sites, etc.) but welcome back!

 

Welcome back... Now make us proud!!

 

A certified 2018+ CM 4 x 4 will cost almost as much as a new one. Just a thought.

 

This. My '20 CM 4x4 was within maybe $2K of a somewhat decently used one.

 

Yep! Only reason I bought new. Was within $3k

 

Yep, me too, and this was right BEFORE Covid!

 

Ended up just buying new. They have a 2021 CM cement 4x4 sr5 coming in about 30 days. Exactly what I wanted. Plain wheels (I’ll change them anyways). Super pumped and so glad to be back in a tundra. I put my deposit down yesterday.

Also I got it for about $500 more than a comparable certified used tundra.

 

Congrats! I love the cement color but I guess I am bias...

 

Thank you, my first new vehicle. It’s so nice not to worry about the history and what if’s of buying used.

 

IMHO when it comes to buying trucks in general, I will always purchase new. In the past I have been burned by many domestic and Toyota trucks because of bad history. I prefer to wait years to save (or cut the budget in other areas) than to buy used. Simply because of history...I see many 1/2 tons blowing by me, well over 70 mph, on the highways with trailers and I always think to myself “I sure as hell wouldn’t want to buy that truck”. The piece of mind is always worth it and I couldn’t agree with you more.

 

Our local dealer is bumping the sticker price for the cement color.
Cool color, no doubt.

 

Yeah they definitely are. I ended up traveling (by phone lol).
