    Been hanging around awhile, just bought a new to me 2015 Tundra double cab 4x4. 41,000 miles and paid $28,000. Thought I did pretty good. Coming from Chevys my whole life but really liked my wife's Highlander and really liked how the Tundra keeps their engine simple. I'm not a fan of cylinder deactivation nonsense. I like the power the 5.7 has and truck feels pretty peppy for a full size truck. I had already driven a friend's exact same truck to Colorado and back from Louisiana so I was pretty familiar with what I was getting. This site is really great, figured I wouldn't join until I actually had a Tundra! Haha!
