Daily driving the tundra???

When I lived in Washington my commute was 90 miles round trip. I drove the Tundra about 3 days a week or more.

 

Just drive it, man. Mine is a daily driver and I enjoy every minute of it, especially when I put my foot down. Which happens alot....

 

alpinepro4 I had an 08 A4 3.2 Auto Quattro. Man.. that’s a fun car, just a maintenance hog. A buddy of mine has an A3 TDI and loves it. Gets great mileage out of it. I’m really not sure what to tell you to expect as I don’t know anything about them. My A4 was my first dance with Audi. My only recommendation is to research the daylights out of the model you’re interested in. Don’t forget about the transmission. That’s what got me. Make sure the major stuff has been taken care of and you should be good. Or have a friend who knows how to work on Audi’s because the dealer will take all your money. Good luck.

 

I did drive mine every day 80 miles a day. Picked up a 95 Toyota Corolla for my. The parking lot where my company truck is very small parking places. So I drive my corolla AKA baby fish or company truck. My tundra has dings and marks on it already from parking there. I drive my tundra on weekends and tows the boat Thursday-Sunday.

 

Thanks for the feedback, I not sure what to do. I am also looking at Golf TDI with is the same motor.

 

I daily drive my Tundra about 50 miles a day and love it. I don’t worry about the miles at all. Even at 22,000-24,000 each year, the Tundra will last me 15 years. And at 300,000 some miles, I’ll keep it around just for fun. In your case, if the Camry is paid for, I’d drive it 3 days each week until the wheels fall off. It’ll save you a lot of $$$ in gas and the Tundra will last that much longer!

 

Yeah, I know it’s a Jeep - but the point is the same.

 

I do but I only drive around 9 miles a day

 

Yep. Drive it every day. Happy every time I sit behind the wheel and start it up and have quite a bit of pride of ownership. Really enjoy romping on it occasionally. Plan is to drive it till the wheels fall off. zero regrets.

 

Daily drive mine usually 10-20 miles a day . I don't regret my tundra purchase one bit! My last vehicle a 10 Tacoma 4x4 manual was the best vehicle I ever owned @176k miles traded it still was running strong. I have no doubt the tundra will do the same.

 

I've done the math on this. If you're looking for a daily driver to save money, you're looking at a very long break even period. That being said, if you simply want to keep the miles off your truck and keep it a long time it's not a bad idea. My wife drives a 2012 Rav4 that gets 23-30mpg. I hope to eventually get her something else and keep the Rav as my D.D. Plus, it's just nice to have a 3rd vehicle sometimes.

 

I had a 2015 Tundra Platinum with 92.8K on it. Had it for 2 yrs 11 months. At that time, Toyota had a Trade-In Deal on vehicles before the 3 year mark and so I traded it in for a 2018 Tundra 1794 Edition Smoked Mesquite color with a cap to match. I currently have 52.8 K on it since Nov 2017. I drive over 120 miles a day to work and back. I average between 16.5 to 18.5 depending on all highway traffic. I have just the one vehicle. I drive the wife around for shopping whenever she wants, no I'm not going to argue on that cuz the woman is an excellent cook / chef and takes good care of me. My stomach shows proof on that. Happy Wife Happy Life

 

I daily mine. Drive the hell out of it for work and traveling to matches around the country. 1 month shy of 2 years and rolling 60k on it this week (would be substantially more but I've taken my wife's 4runner on several match trips and trips home on leave with the family so it's got 45k in the same amount of time)

 

yea I DD mine. 25 miles one way to work. averaging 18.6 per tank. its just such a nice ride!
