    We bought an old Tundra this past weekend after borrowing friends' trucks for the past few months.

    We first looked at a Tacoma but ended up with a high-mileage 2007 Tundra TRD 4x4 5.7l V8. It has some age to it but it's gonna do everything we need it to do (haul bikes, tow a small trailer, etc.).

    So far I've averaged 15 MPG running errands around town, but great mileage wasn't a priority.

    Gonna add some accessories (cow catcher, running boards, back-up camera) and do some mods (console gun box, rear folding seats). I also want to buy a bed shell or cover.

    I've noticed a little shimmy from the steering wheel at 80MPH, but it drives straight, so it may be that I just don't know trucks.

    So far, so good!
