Is it a good idea to wait getting a 2015 5.7 Tundra for the 2016?

I think one of the big issues with Toyota going diesel in this country is the fact that they have no trained dealership workforce to repair them. Since their entire fleet is gas, it would take a lot of time/investment in getting mechs up to speed and certified to do any warranty work.

I'd love to one day have a diesel Tundra, but Toyota can kiss four-quarters of my ass if they don't bring back green paint! Okay, okay, I'm not quite this pissy about it , but I had been planning on buying a '14 until I learned at the last minute they were discontinuing green as an option, which is why I snagged a '13.

I'm partial to green. Was next to impossible finding a used one locally in green. I do like slate metallic though. My Tacoma was same color too.

Ding ding ding. We have a winner here.

Thats why if toyota wants to use cummins engine so they can push you to them (cummins dealer) and not the toyota dealer. Toyota will say its not our engine deal with it, its with cummins its out of our hands.

Its a hino engine or nothing in my book. Im loosing alot of faith in toyota. I know there quality has gone down hill ALOT in the past 5 years.
