    Hi everyone!

    I live in Canada (BC) and I'm looking to buy my first Tundra. I want to go Platinum and found a 2018 used with 56k for $49,990. Just wondering if there are really any major changes or if I should just pull the trigger on this bad boy!

    2020 and newer has push start button
    And keyless entry I believe
    2018 and 19 don’t. If you spend that much I say go new but tests just me

    Does seem like used ones go for almost as much as new. In past years, if you were able to find any leftover trucks (i.e. a new 2020 right now), they were going for $10k off but I don't know if there's enough inventory for Toyota to do that this year.

    The push start would be great. I hate fishing my keys out of my pocket! I am definitely leaning more towards the new at this point. What's another 10-15k am I right :p

    Tundra. New. You put the miles on. New features, pbs, keyless entry, apple car play, Warranty, you know the history, close to same price as used, excellent resale, low depreciation, low interest rate if borrowing.

    2018 and 2019 will be practically the same. Major difference is 2018 wil have transmission cooler, 2019 and on will not. Many threads on here about it.

    In the 2020 you will get push button start, keyless entry, little larger infotainment screen, Apple Car Plat/Android Auto, and I believe they also got rid of the big antenna on the front passenger fender for radio.

    Other than that, they are about the same.

    Anyrhing within 3 years and 50k miles you will pay basically new prices.

    I just got rid of my 2019 Tundra Platinum for $42,500 with 51k miles. New owner bought it 9am next morning for $44k. I paid $46,800 for the truck to give you an idea.
