    Hello all!!

    New member here. Long time lurker, first time poster.

    It's so good to be back in the Toyota family after a brief and regretful hiatus. A little background here. I owned a 2000 4Runner for about 8 years and was the best vehicle I ever owned. We needed a vehicle with more seating capacity due to our 3rd child on the way, so had to trade it in on our 2013 Sienna, which has also been great and will have it until the wheels fall off. Also had a 2002 Land Cruiser which was awesome.

    We bought a camper a few years ago and needed a truck to pull it. My brother in law had an F-150 that he spoke highly of, and I figured it was the best selling truck for so long, so they had to be doing something right, right? So I bought a 2013 5.0 4X4 Super Crew F-150. It was nice and all, but I could tell the difference in quality between it and Toyota. Right away the rear defroster stopped working, I would always get low battery charge messages even though the battery was new, etc. I figures enough of this, I wanted a Tundra, but I wanted to wait until I found the right one and do it soon enough to still get something for the Ford on trade. I found one about 3.5 hours away that checked all the boxes and got the deal done. It's a 2014 4X4 TRD Crew Max MGM. What a difference and couldn't be happier!! I won't make that mistake again. Thanks everyone for the help you were providing while I was researching. I hope to contribute as much as I can. Let the Mods begin!!
