    Ladies and Gents,

    After browsing this site for a few weeks, this community seems great. I look forward to joining and conversing with all of you about Tundras! I'm very excited to finally own a Tundra and am thankful it has such a solid following. A well deserved following obviously.

    My name is Mike. I'm a Marine Corps veteran, a husband and father, an avid Denver Broncos fan, a gun enthusiast, and I'm obsessed with cooking barbecue. Anyway, I sold Toyotas for a while, which obviously made me fall in love with the brand. My first Toyota was a TRD Off-road 4Runner for my wife, then a TRD off-road Tacoma for myself. I didn't love the Taco, mainly due to the size of its cabin. In 2018 I traded it in for a 2014 FJ Cruiser with only 8,500 miles. Mint. Army Green. My dream vehicle. I then got a job as an in-home salesman. I was driving about 12,000 miles a month, so I bought a Corolla for work. The payment of the FJ (to only sit in the driveway) didn't seem plausible with our 1st kid on the way, so I sold it and made some money (gotta love Toyotas resale value). I toughed out driving that Corolla for almost 3 years. I now don't drive as much and thought it was time for a Tundy. I ponied up and got myself a 2021 TRD Pro. White. Crew Max. Wow... Was I missing out. The drive is unparalleled imo. Just incredible. The dual exhaust with the 5.7 is just beautiful to say the least!

    Enough about me. I look forward to chatting with all of you! Thanks!!!

    Welcome from the wet side of WA.

    V8.
    Proven platform.
    I got just shy of 300k miles on my 2008. That's by I bought the 2021. I won't touch a "new gen" from any auto maker in the first year of production - even if it is a Toyota.
