    She's bone stock and definitely not my style. Was my father-in-laws. Unfortunately he passed away a couple weeks ago unexpectedly. I will keep the truck to keep his memory alive.

    Truck only has 60k on it.

    I love how it rides compared to my 14 Ram. I do not love the fuel mileage or lack of power compared to my Hemi.

    Plans:

    Exhaust upgrade
    Stereo upgrade
    Wheels for now, tires are almost new. I will go with 18x9 zero offset to get them to stick out maybe an inch.
    Headlight upgrade (Ordered the AlphaRex this morning)
    Grill upgrade
    Window tint

    RIP to your father in law. One clean truck, and worth some bucks with that low of mileage. Surprised it's a noticeable difference power wise since on paper it's nearly identical to the hemi. The throttle mapping of the later tundras is known to be lackadaisical, if you turn on tow haul mode it might make it more spirited at low throttle, though if you're floored then it is what it is.

    Hemi is 85 more HP and 83 more TQ it's pretty significant.

    I also average around 18mpg driving in town and north of 22mpg on the interstate.

    The Tundra has a nice tight feel and definitely rides smooth vs the RAM. The engine is the only gripe.

    I'm so sorry for your loss @RToad.

    Your FIL left you a really nice truck. My FIL also passed recently and we inherited his 2012 Jeep Liberty. I'm still working out a few mechanical "bugs" but it's in great shape & when we do take it out, it's like he's with us.

    Welcome from Texas, and sorry for your loss.

    Clean truck! I have a '13 with the 4.6L as well.
    I'll post a link to my upgrades below.

    Really dig your headlights by the way! Think you could post a picture of them turned on at night?

    Any idea what grill you're going to go with? I can't make up my mind on what I want to do. lol
