    Hey y'all, I have been a long time lurker and finally got around to joining. Let me start by saying I am a longtime Toyota enthusiast. This new Tundra will be my 5th Toyota and I'm hoping my last for quite a while. I won't bore y'all with the details but the list reads like this:
    -2nd Gen Tacoma crew cab
    -2006 Tundra Crew cab TRD (loved this truck)
    -2013 Tacoma TRD Sport
    -2016 4Runner (wanted to love this truck)
    (current)-2019 Tundra CM TRD Sport 4x4 (Optimistic I will love this truck)
    *FJ- "honorable mention" (wanted one so bad)

    So, as you can see I should own stock in Toyota but as I tell all my friends and family, I work too damn hard for my money to not go with the proven reliability and re-sale that Toyota brings.

    I appreciate y'all for all the info and experiences that really help a newbie like myself. Real World experiences are always the way to go and really saves a lot of trial, error and the almighty dollar.

    Thanks and I appreciate you letting me be a part of this great community!

    -Rob

    Hey neighbor, picked her up at Autonation Austin, second truck I pickup there. They deal pretty straight up there, the dance is the dance but they have been pretty fair with me. I always give them first crack and then I go from there. Round Rock was pretty cool as well. Don't get me started with San Marcos Toyota and Alamo Toyota, they play serious hardball. Your mileage may vary of course.
