    I prefer my Dodge p/u but prices way too high. So I got a 2013 Crew Max & 3 days later someone decided they didn't like a solid dark blue so they decided to customize it with white scratches! Just got a couple items to do on it. Need an owners manual & find a rattle in the middle of the dash & pick up a wiring schematic. Oh, mud flaps, (left side got broken by tar & chip road on a very hot day) & running boards. Still can't get used to all the B.S. electronic crap on it & the stupid controls on the steering wheel 'cause the spokes are where my hands should be! Anyhow, I'm still trying to get used to it by driving it around & trying out the changes from my all manual trucks I've owned. Wish me luck.

    Welcome! I drive a Dodge every day for work and my Tundra is my personal truck. Much rather drive my 2012 Tundra than my 2017 Dodge. You'll be a convert once you get used to it. The Toyota is a way better truck. Enjoy!

    Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)! The savings have just begun. You'll likely spend far less on maintenance and repairs with the Tundra!

    Thanks & hello to all! I'm trying to learn how to do all this site stuff. I retired from OTR truck driving last August & am now learning how to do this web stuff! Danimal86, many thanks, I found a link to download the diagrams from that page. I actually want to remove the seatbelt buzzer, it's annoying. Years ago I was involved in an accident in a friends car & had the belt adjusted correctly. Well the Dr. asked about the cut on my neck, the belt cut through my jacket & shirt and into my neck. Doc said it was 1mm from slicing thru my jugular! Now you know why I prefer my racing harnesses. The only belts mounted correctly are the ones located in or thru the seatback not the "B" pillar.

    Too many, but not enough....
    Is your rattle for sure coming from inside your dashboard or could it be coming from your firewall inside the engine bay? I ask because there is a harness that goes into the firewall in the middle of the engine bay, might be the PCM, that makes noise sometimes, people just zip tie it down i think.
