    Hi peeps,

    I needed a truck to haul stuff up North and decided on a Toyota. Felt the Tundra was more comfortable for me than the Tacoma so I picked up an 06 Tundra SR5 v8 RWD double cab with a 125kms (I’m Canadian). Rust is the only issue but other than that I’m happy. If I could I would have kept on looking for a 4x4 limited version but they are hard to find.

    Was owned by a Toyota dealership so appears to be well maintained. Have to replace the leaf springs but that’s another story. Gave it and oil change, fluid flush, spark plug change.

    I’d like to keep the vehicle for at least 5 more years. Paid $8300 plus tax (13%) Canadian.

    Doesn’t have side runners, bed cover, and some other frills which is like to get. Also would love some leathers, might get it reupholstered or if I can find a limited set. Would also love a deck that is touch screen and can hook up to a backup camera.


    Here are some pics…
