Picking up First Ever Tundra Today

I am coming from an F-350. Looking to learn things. Currently undecided if I will cover the bed with anything. Would probably lean toward a cap, vs. tonneau cover.
Would like something to match the truck color and roof height. Thanks very much.

 

Make sure you bend your knees. These trucks are heavy.

Kidding, welcome! What year, color, trim?

 

Thank you, it's a 2023 Magenetic Gray Metalic. SR5 Double cab 6.5 with TRD Off Road.

 

Awesome, congrats!

 

Sorry but you cant consider the Gen 3 a real truck... Just Kidding!
Hope all goes well for you and the dealer does not upsell you on everything.
Keep in mind we have contacts for extended warranties from Toyota that are much less than the typical dealer sells them for.

 

You will probably get better mileage with a tonneau cover than any cap, but the cap holds more stuff (obviously) and imo preserves the bed's ability to be useful. If you're going to be using the bed, that is.

The back of the gen3 tundra cab is pretty straight so you probably will have an easier time than I did finding a used topper that will match up OK. If you decide to go that route. If you'd rather go new, that's a non issue.

Personally, I'd go topper and never look back. High rise, if you plan on being in the bed a lot or use the bed a lot. Looks kinda ugly but you'll be happy you did it the first time you experience the headroom back there.

 

How beefy do you want the cap to be? I know GFC just put one out, and it's pretty beastly. Not cheap, but if I were to get a cap it'd be top choice because of the versatility.

 

Congrats and Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)!

I would be interested in learning more about the extended service plans. Thank you.

Thanks very much.

 

No problem
How are you liking your new truck?

 

I really love it! Should have done this two trucks ago. My only disappointment is the back up camera. I only need/use this for connecting trailers. It does not give me as close of view as my previous truck. There is also a red line right where my trailer ball is.
