    Well, about to be back in a Toyota truck, but this time up a size.

    I've been through a 2010 Tacoma (OME lifted, 33's, skids, sliders, radio gear, some other odds and ends), a '92 Land Cruiser (fully locked, 6" lift, 37 beadlocks, twin stick, 4 speed manual), and an '04 LC that remained pretty much stock.

    Of those, the one I wish I'd never sold was that Tacoma. It was such a great truck, and the mods were all subtle.

    Anyway, fast forward to now, and I need a full size truck for work. I found a Silver '18 Tundra 1794 Crewmax (hard not to say DCSB lol) with 10k miles on the clock and it's being shipped to the local CarMax as I type. After reading some of the woes of the TSS / radar sensor stuff on here, I'm a little hesitant about an '18. Part of me likes gizmos, but part of me is like, "more crap to break." I figure they have a 5 day return policy, so I'll see if it's having issues or not within that time hopefully.

    Anyway, just figured I'd throw out an intro thread and say hi. I've been lurking and reading a bit. I was also pretty active on TacomaWorld with my same user name.

    Well, minor update. The A/C on the '18 1794 was having some sort of issue. It showed up on Friday, and I went to test drive it. A/C never got cold, it was registering about 10 degrees below cabin temp at idle, and when on the interstate it got a whopping 20 degrees below. (91 in cabin, 80 or so at idle, and 71 on interstate, vent probe thermometer). The driver's side blew those figures, and the passenger side had zero difference between cabin and vent air temp.

    Researching some I found out it's the first year on the new refrigerant, which... first year on new A/C stuff, first year on new radar / TSS, lots of electronic stuff to break... I went back and forth on whether or not to trust the repair on the A/C on a brand new truck. I'm sure it would have been fine long term if a good dealer tech did a good job of the work.

    However, I found a '17 Super White TRD Pro Crew Max with 19k on the clock. I feel better about a '17 than an '18 (even though I think that's perhaps a *touch* irrational). Just gotta wait another week or so for it to ship in.
