    Traded in a 2016 Tacoma for a 2018 Platinum. Got a steal as it was the last 18 Platinum on their lot. Excited to be back in the Tundra family and getting into some mods!

    I loved the Tacoma but wanted to get back into a full-size truck. After driving a Tundra again for the last couple days, it has a lot more ass behind it and handles insanely well.

    Welcome from CO. Lots of Taco to Tundra switcharoos here. There have been numerous complaints reported here about that new Taco engine being under powered.

    Thanks for all the welcomes!

    Was only at the dealership to purchase my fiance a 4Runner. After a couple test drives and stopping at the same Tundra each time, I decided to test drive it while they were doing the paper work. Sticker was just over $54k. Walked out with the truck right over $45k. They wanted the last Platinum 18 off their lot and I didn't need a new truck so I negotiated the hell out of it and utilized the fact that I was closing on an 18' Limited 4Runner. Happy with the deal overall.
