    I just wanted to apologize to the 3rd gen owners. I too was a naysayer of the 3rd gen and every aspect about it. I had that 2nd genner mindset and had my head up my a$$ and was unaware of how much more powerful this engine was and how much more capable this platform is. I had a 2020 Tundra sr5 that I traded in on a Tacoma to downsize. Well my family is growing now and have 2 kids and wanted something bigger for my 6’1” self and family. I had a f-150 custom built with a dealer that I just couldn’t pull the trigger on. At the end of the day it’s a Ford…. Long story short, I freaking love this 2025 Tundra Limited trd off-road 4x4 iForce max and look forward to many many miles with this truck (before you inferior 2nd genners talk crap, I got a 10 year / 125k mile warranty for a hell of a deal). I will be posting some more mods to come!!

    You should really apologize for such a stupid first post. 2nd Gen guys could care less about what you care to spend your money on. It's all trucks, all the time, we don't discriminate or put labels on people here. Drive what the hell you want, its America.

    You should read the details on that dealer warranty.

    Well from what I’ve read from this forum, it’s mainly 2nd genners that love to talk crap and say how horrible the 3rd gen is. I would know, I used to be one!! Haha

    That is a nice looking truck. You are going to look for reasons to drive it and stare at it when you walk away. Congrats!!!

    Welcome (back?) from LA (Lower Alabama)! Not sure if you're a prior member or just read anonymously. Either way, the number of rabid ant-3rd Gen 2nd Genners is likely far lower than you think it is.

    Very nice looking truck - not really found of the low profile tires - I like a bit more meat on mine plus there is that Gap - all that is Fixable for not much $$$.

    Nice Truck, we are looking for a Highlander in that color for my wife. My wife is really enamored with the third gen, she thinks it looks more "trucky" (her words) than my 2018, but I cant get past the frontend. IMO an aftermarket bumper really changes the frontend for the better.

    Yes. $2,070 for a platinum 125k mile / 10 year warranty with no deductible. I’d consider that I pretty good deal no?

    I think people get them from Jerry for about $1200 - but someone will know for sure.

    Mixed reports. Some people say no, others say they live in California and purchased from him without any issue.

    Tried emailing Ian, and it’s telling me the address can’t be found or is unable to receive mail.
