Help Me Choose a Tundra for my Hubby

I'm a Ram girl and did all the research on our last two Rams.
He's interested in a Tundra, I'm here to learn. 2023-new

Must haves: 4wheel drive, 4 doors, not a short bed.
He does hunt and would go off road at times.
We had a bed liner, side steps and back up cameras and full back seat with 4 doors.
That's pretty much it.

What would you recommend? Don't want the SR basic trim. This will be his last truck purchase so I want it to be nice.

What can you suggest and if you have a dealer known to dicker within 700 miles of Ga, I'm all ears!

 

get a Limited trim or better for most of the bells and whistles. the lower trims will be more elective type package upgrades. My research led me to this conclusion and it made shopping much easier. 4x4 limited has most of the interior upgrades.

 

Yeah minimum 4x4 limited in my opinion, you can pick and choose what you want to upgrade aftermarket. I would also look more towards new as you will find the price differences are not extreme with year range your looking at between are and used.

 

By 4 doors, do you mean a Crewcab (Toyota calls it a crewmax) or an extended cab with a small backseat (double cab)?
Crewmax comes in 5.5’ bed or 6.5’ bed (rarer).
Double cabs come with the 6.5’ bed or 8.1’ bed (very rare).

Limited trim is your most bang for the buck (factory leather, heaters up front, navigation, etc). That’s the highest trim you can get in the double cabs. 1794, TRD Pro, Platinum, and Capstone are crewmax only.

Welcome from NY.

 

Either Platinum or 1794 trim with 6.5' bed, power step rails, head-up display, and I suggest to consider hybrid the model. 2025s have good prices with 26's arriving. Check Fox Toyota in Clinton, TN for good selection and prices.

 

Can you help me with the inside part? Our Ram has four doors, a proper backseat. Which would that be? Definitely has to have the 6.5 bed. He currently has the 6.8 and hauls his ATV to camp.

 

For Tundra, "a proper backseat" = the Crewmax which is standard in the higher trims. https://www.toyota.com/tundra/

 

If you go SR5 make sure it has the big fuel tank. If he hunts like me, factory 3" lift might be good. When I get back in the truck after a cold hunt I like seat heaters. I'm not a hybrid guy but that's a you choice. If you use tow mirrors get them factory. Offroad package with locking rear differential and red axles (3" lift comes with silver axles also good).
