    Hello everyone. Long time listener, first time caller from Northern Illinois. I picked up a 2020 Crewmax Limited TRD in early April after months and months of research, primarily from this forum. So, thanks to everyone for sharing your wisdom/experiences! This seems like an welcoming, robust community, and I’m glad to have finally joined!

    I’m no stranger to trucks. I’m coming from a 2015 Sierra 1/2 ton, and liked it, but fed up dealing with all the common GM problems (brake & oil pump failure, AFM lifter tick starting, & choppy shifting issues.). Prior to that, I had a 2012 Ram 3/4 ton and was plagued with the 5.7 lifter problem (top end rebuild) and failed piston rings. Needless to say, I’m optimistic about the reliability of a Tundra. It helps that my 3 and 5 year olds both love this truck too. I like doing my own wrenching whenever I have time/room, and looking forward to spending that time doing the fun stuff like level/lift, chrome delete, some light off-road mods, rather than blowing $$$ in the shop for major repairs. I’ve got some RCI cat guards on the way.

    Looking forward to learning more and maybe having some wisdom to share someday too.

    Welcome from the Boonies of Idaho. You picked a good one. I like the way the rear compartment doesn't cut any corners, and the stout of the engine you get. If you're around N. Illinois, you probably heard of places like Pingree Grove and Rockford. The Italian 1/4 of my family is from Rockford.

    Ha. Yeah, I was worried someone might take exception to that. Used to do it like clockwork. I’ve learned if I let it grow a little before before hitting it with RoundUp, the cicada killers will move on and burrow in other driveways and walkways instead.
