    Hey Everyone,

    It's been a weird few months for me. In regards to trucks I sold my tundra, bought my wife a GX and am driving her old odyssey.

    Damned if I don't love the odyssey. But outdoor stuff and property management dictates I can roll with a minivan too long without thrashing it.

    What should I do? I have this long lost desire to reclaim the carefree world of vinyl seats, regular cab and 4x4 with manual windows. There's some out there in the Tundra world but I kind of feel I'd want a 3/4 truck or more. But maybe I'll regret going to a 3 vehicle setup with two young kids that we're increasingly running around to things.

    Anyway forget money for a minute. What should I do with my vehicle life? 3 vehicles with a pure truck truck or something else. I'm completely cool with the minivan so I don't really care about image stuff anymore. I like simplicity and dedicated tools that do one thing very well, but there's probably a reason more people play around with a gas guzzler with a small bed for everyday life. I've had both crewman and double cab tundras, regular cab fords.

    At some point I'll just get fed up spinning my brain and drive out and do something one way or another.

    We're on this earth just once brother, if you want a truck and can afford it comfortably, drive up to that dealership and get what you want! I was in a somewhat similar boat a couple years ago before we had our first, and ended up trading my truck in for the last new Subaru STI coming into MD. I was content for maybe a month, but my wife got tired of me hearing about how much I missed having a truck so a year and half later, here I am back in a Tundra lol

    Grab a clean rust free unmolested 2021 Tundra crewmax 4x4 while you still can. Get some Husky liners, good seat covers, transmission cooler, rust proof the bitch every year and don't look back. You will be set for a good while.
