    Is there such a thing as Tundra Envy? I’ve gotten compliments and so many looks in just over a week of owning the truck. I know it looks good but people just can’t quit lookin at the MGM Tundra!

    Maybe! This thing is dirty but the MGM hides it. 13 hours in the rain yesterday and today she still looks pretty good

    Nothing to do with the color...it's a Tundra. People Geek out. You will have to get used to it. Sorry

    I think it is just a beast of a rig. My wife loves driving it and she thinks it funny when people just move out of the way. It’s a big aggressive looking image I’m sure in someone’s rear view

    I had a Ranger that was similar to MGM and I loved the color! Wouldn't mind having it on a Tundra but wife likes black and it matches the Pilot we have! Win some, lose some, life rolls on!:thumbsup:

    I’ve always had vehicles that stand out. Even my wrapped RV. Sadly, no one has said a word about my truck. Maybe I need to do more to it than planned....
    Or maybe I should come to terms with the fact that me loving it is enough. Lol.

    Hey everyone. I absolutely love the tundra .I just traded my 2012 for the new 2019. I cant get enough of this truck. I make up a reason to leave the house just so I can drive it. I have 3 kids that love it to. When we leave my daughter who is 5 asked if were taking the truck. Thats My girl. But ive already had someone break in to it 3 days after I brought her home. So I had to buy a new window and now there are scratches on the inside door panel and 1 on the outside ..it broke My heart. But shes all good again .

    You have an MGM? I’ve gotten so many compliments from strangers on my TRD PRO MGM. Mainly at gas stations.

    Yes. My Jeep and bike are basically the same color, and I can’t leave the house without people commenting. But nothing on the truck, and I love it..especially with the small modifications I’ve done.

    Over the last year and a half I’ve been researching trucks. I have watched safety videos, reviews, driven trucks, rode in trucks, talked to lots of people who own different trucks and the one truck that stood out was the tundra. You have several differences in the truck crowds. Some guys are just Chevy and ford guys. Some just don’t even know the difference. There are a lot that say it’s out dated and that it’s an old power train and why don’t they come out with 17 new engines like ford does every year? Well because don’t fix what ain’t broke!!!!! This is the most solid truck I’ve ever driven. It just feels like a tank. I’m still gettin used to backing it up and parking as it’s bigger than my 1/2 ton gmc was. Yes these trucks are expensive but I can guarantee I could sell it for what I paid for it..... maybe more. I really hope she lives up the her reputation because I’ll neve buy another brand of truck again if she does. Which I’m pretty confident in.

    It does have a decent turning radius I will give it that. Although on U turns be carful or you will run over the curb a little bit on the passenger front lol. Ask me how I know. They need to make the streets tundra sized not Prius

    My favorite was when I pulled up next to a couple at a red light. The woman started poking her husband and pointing at my truck. Sorry, whomever you are. Didn’t mean to make you look inadequate in front of your lady.

    I’ve had my Tundra for about a year and a half now and I still get lots of compliments and gawkers. I always get a kick out of meeting “Big 3” drivers on the highway. More often than not, there’s a lot of jaw dropping and rubber necking as I go by. :cool:
