    Hello -

    Though Im not a Tundra owner, yet, I decided to jump on here in anticipation of buying a Tundra. I've been driving Dodge/Ram 2500's since 2002, currently a 2015 and I no longer need or want a diesel truck. However, I do want the best gas truck and that's why I've decided on a Tundra.

    I retired from the fire service last year after 35 years and went to work a month later selling fire trucks and equipment. I split time between the WA and CA, and will likely settle in the SW eventually.

    I'd say I'm a car and truck nut, though my personal preference is a truck, I appreciate all kind of vehicles.

    Thanks for the add, I plan on learning from you and hopefully I will be able to add a thing or two!

    Take care and stay safe!

    Thank you!

    I was very fortunate to find the perfect career for me. It never felt like work! Not once did I get up in the morning and say "Crap! I have to go to work." It was always "Yahoo! Whats gonna happen today?"

    What a great day! I bought a 2020 Tundra Crew Max Limited! I will be picking it up on Monday, can't wait!

    On a somewhat sad note, I will be trading my 2015 Ram 2500 Laramie in. This will be the first time since 2002 that I haven't driving a Cummins diesel powered truck.

    The upside is that I'm going from the best diesel on the market, to the best gas powered truck on the market!

    Grats on the truck and thanks for your service. I really hope you love the new truck. I have a 97 F250 SD (diesel) and a Tundra. I love driving the Tundra much more than the F250.

    I am officially a proud and psyched Tundra owner! The 2015 Ram 2500 on the left was traded for the 2020 on the right! I've had a Cummins as my personal truck for 20 years and I flat out love the "new" truck. My wife was lol as I headed out tonight to see how the headlights performed! By the way, I spent over a $1500 improving the headlights and fogs on my Ram and they weren't as good as my Tundra's LED's!

    Did I mention that I am digging this truck???
