2019? Or is better to go with a '18 or '20

    I thought it was because of the new generation of Tundra.

    Any thoughts on a carfax that has "body electrical checked" 3x when it was relatively new? Price and mileage is pretty good (2018 SR5 CM, $36k, 44k miles), says one minor accident also.

    I could think of a bad ground, or mouse biting a wire for that. Does it mention a fix at all? Both of those are innocent enough. If the guy did a lot of "custom" electrical though, I'd maybe pass.

    I think it said a headlight was replaced eventually. But, the electrical check was when it was brand new then a couple times after that, up to about 10k miles.

    Saw a nice 2018 limited, with 25k miles for about 40k. Gone today though, they sure don't seem to last long.

    Nothing in these trucks regardless of year is a big deal to mod a fix minus the nannies. You want them (you should).

    Interior and trans cooler is easy and probably sub 4k all in.

    I have a 2019 sport. I redid my entire interior and love it. Trans cooler will come whenever I do a supercharger.

    Get a clean low mile rust free truck. Mod it to make it yours and don't half arse the mod or rush the job. This site is littered with tons of pics and threads to support my thesis.
