    Hello all,
    On the hunt for my first Tundra.
    Want a double cab 2wd, would like the 5.7 but seems to be rare in the double cab.
    Found a 2017 SR5 TSS 4.6 DC with 87k miles that looks clean for $22,600, my thinking is this would be a better buy than an older model with similar mileage. What do you guys think? Attached photos of the truck in the dealers detail dept as they just got it in. I think the tires are new but they are Kenda brand so I’m guessing the cheapest they could find. We sell all the top brands, Greatyear, Moshilin, Firerock, Yokosmamma, Notto, and of course Kenda!

    I’m in DFW too, Grand Prairie.
    I’m selling my 2016 rav4 hybrid(only had a month) and 2001 Nissan Frontier and going with the Tundra. I know daily driving will be a pain sometimes with parking but Dallas/Ft Worth is failrly truck friendly. As far as gas I only drive about 5k miles a year so not too bad.

    That’s a beautiful truck!! I’m definitely going to get the trd pro grill or plastidip the chrome on the stock grill.
    What tires are you running? I want an aggressive look but mostly highway driving so I don’t want them screaming at 80mph

    Going to look at it tonight, not sure what size rims and tires it has. They didn’t look all that big in the photo to me but I guess they could be 20”

    Any addl height and width increases drag/friction and can make the truck feel sluggish.
