    Looking for my first Tundra
    New to the group and would love some insight. I'm looking at getting my first Tundra and going back and forth between a 2019 Limited or just going with a used one.

    Got a quote for a 2019 Limited with the TRD Package for $44,500 out the door (tax, tags, fees) and found a 2016 Limited with 31k miles, can get out the door for $39k. Certainly insurance would be higher on new and in VA we have to pay personal property tax every year.

    Its just I have never bought a used vehicle so a little skeptical and never owned a Toyota and not sure of the quality.

    Any insight on those who have bought used would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    TRO

    Buying used 2016 shouldn't be an issue at all. The price difference I would just get new, probably get better financing too.

    The 2016 seems a bit high; they do hold value and Toyota dealerships that have them seem to ask a lot for them. I would book it out on NADA and KBB to verify value.

    Bought my 07 with 130k miles and it drives like a 3-5 year old truck.

    IMO nice price on the New, bad price on the used. I bought a 16 in Jan 2017 with 8k miles for less than that. Does the 16 have any pricy after market mods?
