    Looking for my first
    My infinite g35 is most likely on its last leg. Reliability is in the tank. 180k miles. And it's currrently in the shop. So the great tundra search has begun. I've already read some really good posts. The community here is awesome. I'm looking forward to talking to you all more very soon.

    Just remember, if buying used, a brand new SR can be cheaper than one a couple years old with 50k miles, and carries a full warrenty

    Looking for my first
    Wriggly, I'm reading like a crazy man. I need advice on both options. If I need to start a post elsewhere let me know.

    I'm working on a list of what I want. I get what you're saying but that baffles me that a new can be cheaper than a used.

    Number one is I want a double cab at a minimum or crewmax. I've been in that little g35 so long. No room for nothing. So this truck is going to be big.

    Two - I'd like to get a white truck.

    Year - at least for now, I like the 2016's or newer.

    Other goodies I'd like - step sides - nerf bars (or whatever the word is - I'm learning).

    Don't discount any lower mileage older models. They are virtually the same trucks; 3rd gen 2014 - current with very few changes. 2nd gen 2007-2013. The engine and chassis are unchanged for the most part since 2007.

    Thank you all for the welcome.

    As fate would have it, the infiniti is back in the shop. The service light came on and the temperature gauge is all over the place.

    remember you don’t have to get most options from the dealer you can buy steps suspension and pretty much everything else on your own. Things that are impossible or really hard are power mirrors, auto window on all trd pro suspension ect

    I'm sorry I missed this originally. Okay, so the PM I sent you won't make any sense. I've connected the dots and answer my own question.
    But I'm looking forward to hear what you've got.

    Thanks!

    Mafia, Right now I'd be excited about finding any Tundra in my range. So far I've looked at every dealership from New Orleans across I10 east to Fort Walton Florida.
    Slidell may be the closest right now. They have some 2014's. I have no idea if a one owner Tundra at 100k or thereabout for $25k or so is a way to go or not.
