    Hey guys! Jeff from Alabama here! For the past 2 months I have been in the market for a truck to haul a camper. I was looking a Ford, Ram and Toyota. The Tundra was my last test drive and it was all over after that, I was completely sold! We now on a 2021 Tundra Crewmax TRD! Amazing machine! IMG_3949.jpg .

    Welcome! Should've saved some time and started with the Tundy ... But who am I kidding, test drove a f150, silverado (3x actually) and a ram. Previously owned a silverado '15 and ram '16, couldn't go back. GM products - felt cramped, overwhelmed with buttons and honestly disappointed in the interior feel, body design was great. Ram - owned a 2016 Ram and had some mechanical issues. Absolutely loved the new ram interior, but was not obsessed with the outside design on the '19+.

    Here I am with a new to me >20k when I purchased, '18 Tundra.

    Enjoy!

    To start with, it was my last one to test drive because of the gas milage! I drove 5 different fords and 3 Rams. Rams had a nice ride and interior, but something about the exterior kept me guessing. I liked the 3.5 ecoboost on the Fords but over time they just dont seem to hold up well. The Tundra handled and rode well. The room of the crewmax was perfect. I am planning on pulling a 5000# trailer loaded so the GVWR and payload was in my wheelhouse. I wanted a truck that would last me for the next 15-20 years, and was uneasy about the other brands. I can live with the 13-17 mpg.
