    Good day to all.
    Just recently purchased my used 2014 Tundra 4x4 5.7 v8 (under 55k) that I respectfully named Bertha as I always give a lady's name to my trucks I have owned.
    Loving it so far and it is my daily vehicle.
    It was purchased to be a replacement for my 05 GMC Sierra v6 as it couldn't tow my new travel trailer that was my retirement present.
    Loving all the bells and whistles.
    Going to be checking out the forum on towing with it and all that goes with safe towing.
    As the nickname implies I am a 70+ year oldguy!
    All be safe and thanks to admin for having me here on the forums.

    Thank you for the welcome.
    Mostly just small things like a tonneau cover, hidden tool boxes, photos of past of 48+ years of marriage as you lift up the center console, dug out all my old CDs since I haven't had a player in any of recent vehicles. Those are my bells and whistles. Things of happiness!

    I have a 22 ft Venture Sonic Lite that will be vacation home away from home for me, my wife and 3 dogs. Got a great deal on it and had plenty of room for our crew!

    Ahhh. Good choice. Hopefully the dogs aren't Bull Mastiffs or Labs.

    Welcome from Aptos! My 06 Tundra that I just sold to my brother-in-law was named Bertha. The new 2015 is Gladys and the previous white 06 Tundra with a shell was Moby because he was a big white whale.

    I did the same upgrade as my 06 couldn't tow our trailer, it's so much easier with the 5.7. Enjoy!
