    Hello from Southeast Louisiana! I’m a Navy veteran and also worked as a police officer for a period. These days I am a contractor.

    I am a long time truck owner and avid car enthusiast in general, probably from birth.

    Coming out of a 2018 Ram Dually, 4x4, Cummins, all the works... No longer pulling a 5th wheel (sold it) and hardly pulling trailers for work related reasons either. Wife was also pretty tired of climbing up into and riding in a 1-ton dually with road noise from 35s. :argue:

    That said, I have my first Tundra purchased. I am waiting on delivery of a ‘22 TRD Pro Hybrid in Solar Octane. Very loud color, indeed, but hopefully she wont complain about creature comforts like cooled seats (we live in a literal swamp) as well as a much smoother ride than the Ram and will willingly go on date-nights with me again. :notsure: Also looking forward to a difference in fuel mileage if I can keep my foot out of it.

    Happy to be a part of the community! I lurked around other forums, but this one definitely stood out above the rest.

    Thanks! I’d trade you this 100% humidity along with scorching heat for hockey weather any day! Go Stars! (yeah, yeah, we stole them and brought them south, but I still rock a North Stars hat out of respect for Modano and the others and for bringing the Cup down to these parts!
