Can anyone talk me out of buying a new 3rd gen?

I have two boys who are 12 and 10 and we love the double cab. I would rather have the 6.5 bed. We often take the tundra on long trips and they are very comfortable.

 

I’m currently trying to figure that out. I’m going to do that if I can

 

My experience with my 2020 CM so far:

Pros:
-Price was $10-20k less than equivalent options from the big 3 at the time I bought
-Getting better fuel economy than I expected, though maybe not as good as it would be with some of the gimmicks the others have
-Truck has plenty of power and rides and drives nice
-Design is simple, robust and reliable
-Everything works as intended so far

Cons:
-Payload can be lower than some of the competitors, depending on trim/options - will impact the size of travel trailer I can get or how long I can keep this truck (depends on how fast our future kids grow, I guess)
-No storage under the back seat, though I have some small stuff behind it on the floor
-Can't play an iPod Classic using a USB cable. And the brand new head unit that they just redesigned to be compatible with AA and Car Play is not compatible with USB 3.0 or new formats
-No transmission cooler - as discussed in other threads, not sure yet if this will be a long term issue or not

 

hmmm this is new, 3rd gen isnt suppose to come out until fall of 2021. kinda hard for you folks to talk about 3rd gen when it technically hasnt been released yet

 

What happens when you try using an iPod Classic? I haven't tried it - just used my iPhone.

 

I have a subwoofer that fills the space behind the rear seat in my CM. I did install the 3-bin storage unit under the rear seats.

It would be REALLY nice if the rear seats had the ability to recline a bit.

 

Just nothing. It doesn't connect. Manual says the only way to use an ipod is with AA.

 

Nice bike's

 

Thanks. 2018 500EXC (mine), 2019 350EXC (sons).
