Over on TW a guy with a Solar Octane parked next to an Inferno for comparison, and got a home depot bucket in the shot for reference too!

SO wins by a mile!

 

Picking up Thursday. Excited as it’s been a wait.
Now to keep or sell it, if the crazy market still exists…

 

Bought mine in Ohio, drove it back to Boise and down to Sedona for a week. Stopped by the Grand Canyon en route. Going up to Bozeman in 2 days to get my GFC installed. 4200 miles on it already in 2 weeks. Love it!

 

Well the Westcott lift and 35s were finally installed yesterday!! So far so good, gives it the look I wanted. Haven’t noticed any ride quality differences and minor on the mileage.

 

Absolutely no rubbing anywhere even at full turn either way. I was impressed!! And thanks, I love it now

 

Awesome, make sure you show pics once installed!!!

 

you bet 35x12.50x18

 

Just over here flooding the forum with the best colour option.

 

Solar Octane sunset

 

That's gorgeous. If there weren't that bit of scrub behind the truck I would think it was a Toyota promo shot.

 

lol thanks man! I should have had my wife drive forward a 3-4 ft.

 

Nah. Keeps it real. Besides, if you really want it gone, there are plenty of photoshop wizards that can take that out.

 

Twins!

 

That’s in Terwillegar right? And it wasn’t even my Solar Octane Pro…. Guess there’s 3 in the city now.

 

Yup, my thoughts exactly. First thing I noticed was the tires weren't KO2s so it wasn't you. Family was a little confused why I suddenly swerved off the road and jumped out of the truck in middle of the aisle until they all saw it too.

 

This 3rd mysterious SO owner needs to step forward lol

 

After one solid year of searching, I finally got my new ride! I spent all of 2022 researching the right vehicle for me, including test driving the new Broncos, Ram, AT4, Tremor, Powerboost F150, etc.

In April placed a refundable order in with Sierra Toyota (southern AZ) for a Tundra Limited. Because they're a smaller dealership, their allocations were pretty slow. I was expected to get my Limited around mid-January 2023.

Well, late December they called and said the guy who ordered a TRD Pro got fed up with waiting and cancelled. Then the dealership got an alert TEN MINUTES LATER that this Solar Octane TRD Pro was coming in two days! My sales rep called me immediately, and we got my deposit transferred over!

They charged me $1k UNDER MSRP. And they didn't even ask about extended warranty or anything at financing. The entire sign over took three minutes (we did bank and whatnot over text and email beforehand).

Thank you to everyone who posts here! Down the road I was torn between the RAM Limited and the new Tundra, but ultimately went with Tundra because Toyota reliability, the look, and the hybrid powertrain. So thank you to everyone their recommendations and helping me decide on my first truck purchase! Hoping to keep this for at least ten years (will definitely get the extended warranty).

I'm still reeling with surprise that I ended up with a TRD Pro, especially at the last second!
