New to the forum from Pensacola, FL

Traded in my 2010 double cab last week and drove off with a 2022 Tundra SR5 4X2. Found the needle in the haystack - SR5 with NO dealer add-ons, only the SR5 convenience package. No floor mats, no spray in bed liner, no extra bells and whistles! I had been searching for this because it was the only way I could afford to get into a new SR5. Needless to say, I'm stoked.

Almost didn't part with my older 2010 tundra at 236k milage, but needed the trade in value ($5k) to make the deal work and help me a little on the final taxes of the transaction. I hope I haven't made a bad move by getting rid of the 2010 at 236k miles. The truck had a little body damage and usual 12 years old interior wear. I put 140k miles on it an had no problems with the 4.6 V8, transmission, or anything other than typical here and there repairs. I cleaned the air intake, throttle body, and replaced some sensors in that area and the truck was like new again.

I am new to the forum, and I'm starting to browse and start to prepare myself for potential issues that people are having with the new twin turbo V6. When working on my 2010, I found all of these toyo forums to be very helpful as well as Youtube. I'm no mechanic, but have become significantly more aware of how to save myself some $$ in the shop. If there are any forums/threads that any of you know of, post them below in the comments/responses.

Also, I am wanting to do a few OEM or better mods for things like:
Bed lights
Tailgate button in tail light
Running boards
Bed cover (haven't found one I like)
Swing case or CamLocker
etc.

Not wanting to do any aggressive mods being that it is only a 4X2. Just saying hello and if anyone reads this where you have seen something I may find helpful, please shoot it my way.

 

Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)! Over here in Spanish Fort.

 

They drive a hard bargain over that at that dealership! I had to venture over to FWB to find that deal

 

Welcome from NY.

 

Yeah, I ended up buying mine from the dealership in Gainesville, GA, north of Atlanta. They made it well worth the drive. Springhill Toyota in Mobile came in 2nd. I generally never step foot in the Eastern Shore Toyota dealership.

 

Welcome
