    Back seat space is awesome. My wife and kid feel like they’re being chauffeured in a limo

    Last round trip from Charlotte NC to Richmond VA and back totaled 622 miles using 25.2 gallons yielding 24.6MPG. Drove 4 lane and interstates for 99% of the trip up to posted speed limits using cruise control. This 2WD Tundra has original 18" Yokohama Geolandar street tires @ 40PSI. When I filled up at the end of the trip the gas gauge was at 1/8 tank with over 6 gallons left in the 32 gallon tank. Great MPG and range for a 1/2 ton pickup.

    I like the new look and ride comfort ! The inside looks so much better than my 2016 Platinum without having to AJT the vents, cup holder, steering wheel, radio and door handles. The heated steering wheel is now a must have and deal breaker on going to anything without it. Glass roof is excellent and say thanks to the heavens on every trip.

    I like, or really like a lot about it. Coming out of a 2008 4Runner... wow. I picked up a '23 Limited in early December (October build date I think). I've got close to 6,000 miles so far.
    I'm amazed by the comfort. After 3 back surgeries, this is the first vehicle I can be in for more than a few hours without a walk.
    Technology is actually very nice. Not a big deal for me, but I like the screen and have had no issues with it.
    Towing... so nice. Makes pulling the boat out on slick ramps so easy.
    Looks. After I saw the first picture I thought it was horrible. Then I saw a few in the wild. I really like how it looks.
    Power. Lots of zip and it is way easy to get it going into the big speeding-ticket territory. Or to just merge, or pass, or have fun.

    Maybe most important, the family likes it. I just came home with it and expected a lot of push back. Now both the immediate family and the "grandparents" like it. I even get requests to get picked up.

    Been watching a lot of videos on Olivers lately, daydreaming of upgrading from our Escape 19 at some point in the future.

    Do you have AVS/air suspension with your truck? Or just running an Andersen WDH?

    Our Escape 19 isn't nearly as heavy and it makes the rear end of the Tundra sag like crazy without the WDH attached, so curious how you're handling it.

    Nice looking rig!

    Most Legacy Elite 2 Ollies with solar charging package weigh in around 5500 to 6500 pounds ready to camp.

    Our Ollie's (no solar charging package) ready to camp weights comes in from 4900 to 4950 pounds with empty fresh, black, and grey water tanks, but with full 6 gallon hot water heater. It's probably the lightest LE2 Ollie. Our Ollie's tongue weight is 480 pounds.

    Modified the Tundra with Timbren load enhancement system on the rear differential to get rid of sag. Had rear airbags on our 2016 5.7L SR5 and prefer airbags after using both systems. Don't need WDH as long as I keep the trailer weight under 5000 pounds. But as per the Tundra's operators manual, when towing any trailer over 2000 pounds a sway device is needed. I don't count the Tundra's anti sway system, so I us an electronic Swaymaster sway device on the trailer's tongue to meet that requirement. Never had any sway or handling issues with Ollie and get 14MPG towing in NC & TN with best of 15MPG @ 61MPH using 7th or 8th gear mostly. Highest towing mileage day so far is 725 miles.

    Our 2022 SR5 Tundra is a great TV for Ollie.
