    2014 TUNDRA SR5 TRD OFF ROAD
    Hello! Recently, I traded in my 2005 Toyota 4Runner for a 2014 Toyota Tundra SR5 TRD OR Crewmax. HUGE change. Literally! The 4.7 V8 4Runner was a great vehicle. 11 years of ownership. 218k miles. BUT, space was getting tight for the family and it was starting to have some issues. As hard as it was to let the 4Runner go, it was 10x harder to find a used Tundra. I looked at the new Tundras and at one point, I even looked at/drove a 2019 Silverado and 2019 Ram. I'm glad I waited it out!

    Welcome. Nice truck. I made a similar switch, 2007 v6 4 runner I had since 2008 to a 2020 tundra. I wanted the trundra for better towing and comfort. I love the tundra. The 4 runner was slightly better on gas and much easier to park in a crowded lot. Otherwise, I'm happy with the tundra.

    Welcome and nice Tundra! I never knew they made a v8 4runner, that is pretty sick. Funny that the Tacoma never got that.
