    "What are you hauling there son?" "ass"
    After a 2002 Mercury Mountaineer (first car), 2010 F150 (engine blew at 160k), 2013 Silverado (new transmission at 103k), 2019 Honda Accord (don't ask... I made a mistake), the wheeling and dealing during the shutdown lured me into a 2020 CrewMax Limited.

    I honestly went to the dealership thinking I was going to walk out with a 4Runner but after noticing how slow it felt compared to the Tundra I was sold. We have a 2016 Sienna (4 kids) I was thinking we needed a second third row vehicle just in case but I decided I would use a truck bed certainly more than a third row.


    Probably looking to chrome delete a fair amount, get the platinum grill, paint match the front chrome, mirrors, and handles unsure how I feel about the running boards. I will wait until these tires crap out to lift it a few inches and upgrade the shoes. Already installed a Decked box in the back, on the fence about it to this point but its growing on me. Would love any other recommended mods.

    A rig like Kevin Costner's is the dream but that's pretty impractical for my lifestyle.

    Congrats on the Tundra! My wife has a 2016 4Runner and although it's a great car and it has its place, every time I drive it I really miss the extra power my truck has. You made the right decision!

    We can ignore the Accord going forward; we all have an identify crisis at some point in life. Those that say they don't, just won't admit it yet. Mine was a 2013 Ford Explorer. We don't judge here based on past indiscretions. Consider yourself Woke now.

    Welcome to the club and hello from WA.
