    Hello,
    Glad to be part of this group! I have had my 2015 Tundra Limited for seven years. Really enjoy it. Debating on upgrading to a 2020 or 2022!? I have read not to buy new, not only on price aspect but just a new product. Also, I tow a 30’ trailer, about 7500 loaded. The 2015 does great except for the gas mileage, about 7-8.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks!!

    Welcome from NY.

    If your 2015 is fine, I'd wait until next year. Hopefully the kinks are worked out and the prices go back to normal.

    Welcome from Pa. Unless you have enough money to buy a new one with cash and have no payments to make. I’d keep the one you got. I talked to a guy last Friday about his tundra with a cap. He said he had 317 thousand miles on his truck. And it still runs good. I have a 2014 and pull a 29ft camper with no problem. I get about 9 mpg when pulling. No truck payment = more money for truck upgrades or more/further camping trips.

    Thanks for your input!
    Sounds good! No doubt it will run for a long time and she is paid for!
    You have any input on the 46 gal trans flow gas tanks?

    Nope. I have the small tank. I would like to get a bigger tank. My wife and I would like to do some out of state camping. It would be nice not stopping at a lot of gas stations.

    Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)! I agree to hold onto your 2015 unless you have a need that it is not meeting. It's too crazy to jump into the market right now.

    Welcome from NC! I would say keep what you have. You have one of the best year models since you don’t have to deal with the TSS crap….

    ^ I couldn't have stated it better, although I'd keep the 2015 until at least 2025 and then consider new or lightly used....:D

    Welcome from Dallas..:thumbsup:
