    You can go anywhere you want in any conditions you want. It handles mud and scratches and dents and rain and snow and sand just keeps going. Maintenance is minimal (certainly for a short rugged trip needing only fuel).

    Pretty remarkable considering where people were at only 70 years ago. Hell, I can even be in 4LO driving across a river with water coming in under the doors and still not miss a live episode of Sportscenter on my screen.

    Add a winch and you can’t even get stuck on street tires - unless you have nothing to winch to ;) You can put a literal half ton of gear in the bed and still have room to bring people with you.

    I’ve seen this truck make it through the toughest of stuff time and time again. Every time I get to an increased level quagmire I find myself questioning “Am I sure?” which makes me sad. There’s no reason to doubt these trucks at all - imagine driving a Ford in a rural area without cell service LOL

    I use to trust my Ford in rural areas, but I don't feel the same way about the newer ones.

    Woke up to this the morning after a blizzard. The Ford started and got me home (had to put tire chains on)

    Yeah, back in my days, trucks took a lot more work. If I wanted 4wd I had to get out and manually engage my hubs, then I had to pull a big lever to make the 4wd work, sometimes rolling the truck forward and back to make it work. And there was no magic device to tell me how to get somewhere, I had to scrutinize a folded up piece of paper I kept in the glovebox. If that wasn't enough, if I didn't like the song that was playing, I had to look down, press a few buttons, and fumble open a container with round plastic things so I could shove a new one in to hear something else.

    Oh, and I had to drive to work uphill both ways. Now, get off my lawn!

    Actually, I am. I got my 1st Toyota truck at 16 (1984 SR5) in 1986. Didn't get my first CD player for a few years after that.

    The difference between my ‘23 Platinum & my ‘65 W200 Power Wagon is mind boggling.

    Got my first ride in 72. 57 Dodge 4X4 step side. My dad bought it for $250. Tough as railroad spikes. AM radio was iffy. Should have kept it. Beats anything out there now. :boink:

    Ah, but the FM converter mounted below the dash took care of that.

    Ha! My first truck had the original AM radio. I had an 8-track given to me so I put that in. I bought an adapter so I could play cassettes. Now it’s Bluetooth and satellites. Good times…

    Per the payload sticker on the door of my Tundra, I should probably be in an F350. I'm hard pressed to sell a perfectly good truck that I finally have set up the way I like for one that could potentially have more issues and costs a heck of a lot more, though.

    Thus my dilemma... need and want are different. Just want something more comfortable and with electric windows. Thanks for your input. I was going to ask in another thread but just hijacked this one

    I would like to see more commercials on TV about the Tundra. Don't think I have seen any. All I see are F150 and GMC/Chevrolet truck commercials. I suppose if demand is high and your brand is successful like our Tundra, no need to pay to advertise with commercials. Still, seeing Tundra's like Eurodriver splashing through mud would be fun to see.

    Our trucks are comfortable and the modern technology is convenient, but I still enjoy driving this ol' girl on occasion.

    Manual transmission and t-case with shifters for both, manual locking front hubs, AM/FM radio only, locking differentials, AMC 360 V8 engine, and will go places my Tundra can't.
