    I've had my Tundra a year and 2 months now and my wife has driven it exactly ZERO times. I have offered serval times " hey Hon, why don't you just take the truck" and she won't do it. She says it's way too big and she just doesn't want to drive it. She does love to ride in it though.

    How about the rest of you. Does your spouse drive your truck or do they prefer not to?

    Mine will drive it at last resort haha. Same idea as yours. I need to get my sliders built so it’s easier to get in and out for the kids and her. I think it’s hot when she does drive it haha

    You'll let her drive the Tundra, but do you let her drive the C-10??? :D

    My wife says the same thing. It’s too big to drive, but she has driven it to work on occasion. I’d prefer her to drive it in bad weather. She’s much safer in the truck than her Camry.

    My wife loves to drive my Tundra. She drives fast anyway and it had much more power then her Volvo. She scares me so I have to limit her on when and where she drives.

    I'd let my ol lady drive the Tundra but she'd have to go alone. My RC has a single bench seat and she's 5'2". I'm 6'2" so my face would be pressed up against the windshield. :eek2:

    my wife drove my Tundra when we test drove it last year and one other time when we went to see her mother in Beaumont, Texas. She liked it so much that she went and got her own Tundra. So I guess it's no for me.

    She has no problem driving it, but she prefers driving the more modded wrangler.

    Mine daily drives ours 20 miles to and from work on the weekdays then takes our IS350 after lunch. When we drove 7500 miles across the United States and back, she drove like 10% percent of it. She drives it just fine. No issues. I’m more afraid of her driving our IS. it’s way faster and she feels more comfortable speeding and driving like an asshole in it. When she drives the truck her only complaint is when people make it a point to cut you off at the last minute cause you’re in a truck or when other trucks see her driving my truck, they notice it’s her driving then laugh at her. She either gets a compliment or jealousy from men who are driving a lesser truck. She also drives off-road while I fly my drone to record us on the trail. Either way she’s been driving the truck since we got it with no issues.

    She’s driven mine a couple of times. She likes riding in it but isn’t a fan of driving it because it’s so big, which is just fine with me.

    No, my wife doesn’t drive my Tundra, says it’s too big! She’s stuck driving her new Rav4. Besides, she doesn’t believe in using the mirrors when backing up.

    Mine refuses to. She drives a Sequoia, so she’s used to larger vehicles, but she’s terrified of driving mine. Says with her luck something would happen to it when she was driving it.

    I've had my new Tundra since October 1st and my wife has never driven it. I over all the time to let her but she just says no. I asked my daughter if she wanted to drive it and she said it was too big and she liked my 05 Tundra better.

    Yeah, no. She’s not allowed to drive the tundra. That’s a negative there

    Occasionally. Shes the one that picked it out after my ranger died and I needed a new truck. I work 960kms away from her and drive in every month and it died on one trip. She sent me the pictures of the tundra and said "you always said this was your dream truck" Then we bought it on my next trip in. After her car broke down a few times i said why not take the tundra? She said shes too nervous but did anyway and drove fine. Then she said "We're going shopping (her and her sister and mom) Can we take the tundra?" Shes getting more use to it but hates trying to park it. It'll be her daily driver when she moves back with me in January as i have work trucks to take home.
