    Just traded my 2013 Tacoma for a 2017 Tundra Double! Man is there room in this thing! I love it! I have a small travel trailer that we just purchased and I didn't want to try pulling it with a 4 cyl. I feel like I have the truck to pull it with now! Now if it were just spring time!

    Welcome from the Mojave. Large percentage of us are former Tacoma owners. Once you make the switch, there is no going back.

    Welcome. I had a 2006 Taco double cab previously as well - both great trucks, but I'm happier with the Tundra.

    PapaTundra; I did the same thing for the same reason. I loved my Tacoma and hated to see it go but I'm getting used to my Tundra and liking it very much. I just traded about 3 months ago. If my Tundra gives me as much trouble free service as the Tacoma I'm going to be very satisfied.
