    Aloha!

    Excited to be here!

    I'm looking to upgrade from my 2002 Toyota Tacoma to a 2012 Tundra Crew Max, Limited... White Truck with fairly low mileage 59,559. Is there anything I should be looking for in terms of issues? I saw a few comments about the bed liner and rust, as well as the Steering Rack, and Cam Tower Seals on the Engine. I'm no mechanic, but I'm sure I'll find something on YouTube to give me basic guidelines as to how to look for the seals leaking. Is there anything else ya'll can think of? Pro's Con's?
    We're only doing a minor upgrade as this is my construction work truck, and then our Boys will be driving this in a few years when they attend high school, we also do a lot of hunting, fishing and dirt bike riding and I know Ii can get at least 2 large 250's and a small 56 in the back of the Tundra!

    If this was for me to have as my next 20 year vehicle relationship, this Boy Mom would be getting a Tundra Platinum...:quickdraw:

    Mahalo for your input!
