    Howdy guys. Super happy new Tundra owner. I've had 3 Tacomas over the years, and I thought I was happy with them. (In hindsight, I did loved my first 2nd gen black DCLB). After a new job change this year that cut my commute from 600 miles a month to pretty much zero, I figured I didn't need to worry about mileage OR parking. Just going out and having fun in the Pacific Northwest.

    Every summer here, for some reason, the dealership always calls up and asks if you want to trade in for the super NEWEST thing. Well, Toyota doesn't usually do a super new thing, so the answer was typically "NO". I surprised them by saying "Meh... I'll come by and see"... You know.. being coy.

    Lies! All lies! I had secretly been coveting a full size truck with a mighty engine for some time. As a Tacoma fan, I had brain washed myself into thinking that the lack of power, and the increasingly uncomfortable interior was just a price you had to pay for being one of the cool kids.

    Full disclosure... I'm a 47 year old Army Vet, and not someone who should be worried about what others think I should be driving.

    Anyhow! After arriving to the dealership to "humor" them with the possibility that I MIGHT trade in my Tacoma for yet another Tacoma, I said said.... oh so coyly... "How about one of those Tundras over there". (You know... because I'm such a shrewd business man). I had picked out a dazzling Inferno Limited TRD Off Road weeks before I showed up.

    We'll just call him Kenny. (I guess that's because his name). He grabbed the keys, and we started out on the test drive. My first reaction wasn't the difference in size from a Tacoma, but how much better the turn radius was. This thing was HUGE, but I could pivot out of a dealership lot much easier than I could a typical parking lot. I turned right onto McLoughlin Avenue with the full plan in my head. Play indifferent... profess my good credit... show my knowledge of the automotive industry... make a good deal.

    Nope. That's not what happened. I hit that 5.7 V8 engine, and everything between turning right on McLoughlin Avenue and signing the paperwork was blur.

    I do not regret it. She is beautiful. She is powerful. Oh... and she is so beautifully fucking Orange. I'm going to call her Larfleeze.

    I traded in my 2014 Tacoma for 2018 Tundra with comparable options and I wonder every day why I did not do it sooner.
