Hey Guys,

I’ve owned a lot of Toyota vehicles. Currently in a 2011 4Runner, previously had a raptor, then a 2006 6 speed 6” lifted supercharged Tacoma...

Always loved the Tundra’s and working a deal on a 2018 TRD Sport.

I’m trying to do a little research before I purchase, but is there anything I should know when purchasing a new Tundra?

Certain perks to look for, why one package is better than the other, etc... thanks for any help!
