    Nothing yet, just got it Friday.
    Just picked up my first ever Toyota truck. (My wife has had a Rav 4 for several years). I have a used 2018 Tundra Double Cab, TRD, sport... Blazing Blue Pearl. At this point I have had it three days and am still getting used to the less than plushy ride. (I had an Chevy Avalanche previously): not complaining, just saying. Chevy cost me too much in repairs, I'm expecting my Tundra to be a lot better in that department.

    Beautiful truck. Unless it was abused by the former owner, you should get many miles out of it. All my Toyota's went over 200,000 virtually trouble free.

    Beautiful truck! When I test drove that TRD Sport I noticed it did have a slightly stiffer ride than the TRD Offroad. I had a Sport Tacoma for many years and found the Offroad models to ride much nicer than mine. A combination of less sidewall and differently tuned shocks really add up. The Sports are handle better at speed but I love the way the Offroad models suck up the big hits. The roads I travel are beat up and I honestly don’t drive fast.
