    My sisters husband wants my 2012 tundra but I don’t want to give it but they need a pick up truck.

    now I found this 2014 tundra crewmax with 98k miles. I don’t know if I should get that or not.

    It’s kinda a family thing so I’m willing to give them my tundra to help out but looking for another tundra is going to be hard.

    here is the listening for the other tundra.

    please let me know if that’s a good option or not.

    Alot of them
    Doesn't look bad at all. The Carfax shows it was in California and Wisconsin. You can add the VIN to your Toyota owners account and see if there are any additional service records. I don't think the mileage is too high for the year in my opinion. Two weeks ago I picked up a 2016 4Runner that was a 1 owner with 71K miles.

    You’re giving them the Tundra and have to buy another one? Why not just help them buy another vehicle?

    Yeah, I’m giving it to them for 5k, I know I can get 10k but helping out family is another thing.

    im actually going to look at other tundras because I didn’t realize that was a 4.6 rwd. Nope, I need the 5,7 and 4wd. Definitely needs to be a crew cab to. I like the back window feature and spoiled by it.

    Gen 2.5 is a great Tundra. Pick one not absurdly abused, and it'll be fine for many more miles.

    Have you looked at Tundra's here on the tundras.com marketplace? If your budget is there,
    I'd suggest FB Marketplace as well.

    I’ll like to be under 30k at best. Just looking for 4wd, 5,7l crew cab.

    I don’t really like newer tundras. I don’t care for lane keep assist, lda etc…

    I want a basic tundra like my current tundra.

    Very nice of you. Good luck with the new Tundra search! I thought you needed a commuter though…..

    Uh huh, and then you could buy a commuter? Good time to evaluate your needs vs. wants. Maybe a fuel efficient SUV and a trailer makes more sense. Or a commuter car and borrow the Tundra when you need a truck.

    Why do they "need" a truck?

    Why don't you just give them $10,000?

    I'd keep mine, help them look and gift a certain amount if not all when they buy it. That's what I've done
    3 times now, in the end its a little less costly and they get what they actually want. But yours is a RW and
    pretty nice truck that you wanted when you got it.
