    Hello fellow Tundra owners! I just purchased my first truck last week and I'm very excited! I'm a long time Toyota owner (daily driver is an 02 camry with 210,000 miles) I'm looking forward to many many great adventures with my Tundra, it's an 08 with 103,000 miles, the last owner took really good care of it and added a lot of upgrades which i'm still figuring out. At some point I'd like to ditch the tires and get something better for the highway as I plan on buying a travel trailer to live out of and travel the country next fall. So far everything seems great with the truck, pre purchase inspection at the local Toyota Dealership checked out with flying colors. Glad to be a part of the Tundra owner community!

    So far the Tundra is conquering the winter in Alaska, we had a big dump of snow today, lots of cars and trucks in ditches but I powered through. With studded tires it'd be a monster!
