    Hello Tundras.com

    Yesterday I traded my lovely Barcelona Red 2022 Third Gen TRD Off Road in for a 2021 SR5 Tundra. Here is a picture of my old and new trucks side-by-side.

    IMG_E4261.jpg

    I loved my Tacoma, but my needs and wants changed. I will be towing a lot more often and I needed something that could do 6,000lbs+ without too much trouble. My family is also growing. While we have a family hauler, the space of the Tundra will be very useful.

    Anyway, I'm excited to be here.

    The back seat of the Tundra is like the entire cab of the Tacoma. It is super roomy.

    Yeah, coming from a mid-size truck the space of the Tundra feels amazing.

    Thank you! 4WD. I live in Utah and a fairly mountainous section at that, so it’s a must.

    Cool
    Most of the trucks out here in Oregon during '20-'21 with those wheels were 2wds, it seems Toyota was pumping out lots of 2wds at the end of the Gen 2.5 line and sending them to dealers(I almost bought a 2wd long bed)...that is why I asked that.

    Happy to hear it is a 4wd that you will put to use, my 4wd is a work truck that is only off road a few times a year but I am alway glad to have those front wheels engaged and helping out.

    Enjoy
