    Hello folks. I'm new to the forum. I live in north central Indiana and owned a cherry 2002 Tundra extended 4x4 until two weeks ago when someone ran a stop sign in front of my son. It was a sad day, my son is ok, but my baby was totalled.

    Anyway, I'm looking at a black, one owner, 2012 Rock Warrior with 95k miles for $23,900. It has pretty good service records on Carfax. I need to hear all of the good and bad as this is my first foray into the big trucks.

    Thanks to all.

    Welcome from a former Hoosier.

    Take that 2012 for an extended test drive, and make sure you and the big Tundra are a match.

    Welcome from Arizona. If you're looking for a full size truck the Tundra is a good choice. Just make sure that you're not buying someone else's problem; the Toyota's are reliable but any vehicle can have problems. Good luck.
