    Hey, gang,
    New member crom SW FL here. I’m about THIS close to buying a 2014-19 1794. Been weighing all the pros and cons between this truck and a King Ranch and Laramie Longhorn. All of them have great points about them, but I keep coming back to the Toyota’s quality and durability. I could buy new, but the responsible side of me says I should buy a slightly used one and let the PO take the depreciation. I know Tundras get comparatively bad MPG, but that’s not a huge concern for me...maybe a minor one, though.
    That said, I trust Toyotas more than the other two. Never had a Tundra, but have owned several bulletproof Toyotas over the years. So, what advice can you guys offer?

    Welcome from NC! I was looking at used but check on rates and other factors as I was able to purchase new cheaper than used due to better APR and Toyota incentives on the 18’ model. Love my Tundra and wouldn’t have any other truck because of the reliability factor. I also love how the Tundra looks. Also, as far as mpg goes, I get 19mpg average but I drive like a grandma.....

    Thanks for the warm welcome, gang! I test drove a ‘19 last night and loved it. With two private school tuitions and college coming in a year, I’m having trouble justifying $50k+ when I can get a ‘17 with low miles for about $35k. Either way, I’m pretty sure the Tundra will be my next truck. I’ll look forward to speaking with you all when I get it, because a lift and some accessories are definitely planned!
    Have a great Friday!
