    I hate drivers who camp in the left lane on an interstate

    I hate businesses that allow employees to put a tip cup out when they truly aren't serving you.

    See above comment then imagine your in a Starbucks drive through.

    I hate overcooked steaks

    I hate mayonnaise

    I used to hate onions no matter how small my mom diced them up. But that was like 45 years ago.

    I hate warm beer, but I've also been known to consume half dead soldiers around a camp in the morning because I was taught to leave no one behind.

    Well, I am a rookie so I'll work on it.

    But to the OP, nah the new tundra isn't all that bad. It's grown on me even with the giant grill.

    I wouldn't say hate is the right word. I like it, but am just disappointed in the overall quality and problems being reported, and over the fact that they still haven't fixed the front end look! I just expected a much better quality from Toyota! The sequoia and new Tacoma seem to carry the paint color through the lower portion of the front bumper and that looks A LOT better, and I can only hope Toyota will eventually do the same for the new Tundra. I also am shocked that Toyota is still putting chrome on the new Tundra despite the many open forums with opinions against it!!

    I like it in a way because it has forced me to keep my paid off 2020 and not take on a car payment for the next bigger/better thing because Toyota still has some work to do to improve it!!

    Acura kept the beak for years despite the poor reviews. Lexus with the gaping predator maw that has only been slightly de-emphasized. BMW with the exaggerated kidney grill openings. I doubt the Tundra stache gets another thought until a mid-cycle refresh.

    I didn’t love the new look for the grille at first, but with a chrome delete I don’t think it looks bad now. With nice wheels and tires I think it’s mostly a nice looking truck. The part I actually despise more than anything is the tailgate and rear bumper design. It is extremely busy and cheesy. Way too much going on.

    The only way I think a turd gen looks ok is with a six inch lift, thirty-seven inch tires, and everything color matched

    The design team sure did drop the ball on the tundra face. Maybe when it's old it will fell like nostalgia to own one though. We'll see how many turbos are still functioning in 20 plus years though.

    And then we have this in Toyota designers illustrious history. Given the 2 choices I'd take the mustache over the backasswards step side. Well, because everyone loves mustache rides.

    I'm still convinced if they would have just used the regular or the clear and cherry 2 tone tails this wouldnt have been so bad

    At the end of the day I truly think this is the ugliest truck Toyota ever produced. And I also think they know that based upon its limited production. So to everyone banging on the mustache and rear end of the 3rd Gen, just be happy knowing Toyota usually makes up for their misdeeds.

    Or, imagine that truck as a regular cab, with a TRD supercharger, and emblems that read: THUNDRA

    That would've really burnt Ford's biscuits, given the history there hahaha
