    Well I’m back after a year off without a tundra. Had to trade my baby for a smaller car (2019 Highlander) my 83 year old father had to move in with us from Tennessee and after about 11 month I ended up putting him in an assisted living facility. I felt so bed. But all’s good he’s happy there. So I dumped my highlander nice but to small and bought a very nice 2018 black tundra platinum, a nice upgrade from my 2017 SR5. Other then the mods I did to the old one I am very happy, and happy to be back if you all will have me! Happy new year everyone.

    Seriously thinking about making the move back as well . . . would be the third 'return' to the Tundra . . . (yes, I know that I need to learn my lesson).

    BUT, the obvious question. Wait for the redesign model or get a 2021? All things about the current design are what I like . . . that v8, space, reliability. My last one was a '18 Platinum. Any recs for which direction to go with trim this time?

    Thanks all.

    Tough decision there weed hopper, only you know the path you need to travel. OK enough of that. Yeah I didn’t wanna wait I was looking at price mainly and I got a good price on a used one you could wait. You might not like the new design and end up in a 21. What I really missed was driving around in beast mode. I love beast mode and beast mode loves me. Lol
    I would stick to platinum or above

    Getting close to a deal on a Black Platinum. (Ugh, talk me out of black). I had two magnetic grays before, so I want to try something different. White is not my thing. Nor Red. So I feel like I am left with Black.

    Get a black one. It stays dirty, but who cares. It looks the best.

    what trucks did you cheat with the tundra on?

    Anyone know how the TRD Pro Leather seats differ from the Platinum Leather seats? I know about the ventilation and perforation, but I've often wondered if the bolstering, size is different?
