    I'm happy to join this community. Long time Ford lover here who just purchased a midnight black 2018 Crewmax with TSS off-road package yesterday (it's a 2wd so don't get the off-road reference but I think the smoked badging is really cool). This isn't my first Toyotay. My first vehicle was a 1980 Toyota pickup (before they issued cars last names I guess), and ive owned a 2002 Tacoma prerunner after that.

    I came back to Toyota because my 2014 F150 was beginning the dreaded metallic tapping that was a tattle tale sign of an oblonged cylinder on the 5.0 engines. I had a 2012 prior and had to have the engine replaced in it and didn't want to revisit that experience. This combined with the fact that the only other engines for offers are goofy 6 cylinder turbos and the fact that they are extremely proud of their trucks now days brought me back to Toyota. Government Motors and Fiat aren't companies I'll give business too.

    Loving the new Tundra for every mile of the 200 I have on it right now and look forward to many more happy miles. This truck will live it's life out carrying my fat butt to work everyday which is 175 mile round trip and doing the typical family, friend, "favor" duty at home .With my commute the miles rack up quickly so reliability is a must, which I am sure won't be a problem for this beast. I've had excellent service from the other 2 Toyotas I've owned. I'm looking forward to learning and chatting with this group and hopefully in a few years I'll have my own experiences to share. 20180821_170130.jpg 20180821_170139.jpg
