    My soon to be wife drove the Tundra for a bit and now drives the F250 being it’s our main vehicle. She is slowly but surely getting used to it. Lol it’s a big change from the Tundra and 4Runner she is used to.

    I have a first gen so it's a lot smaller than the new Tundras. My wife still doesn't enjoy driving it but had to this past Friday.

    She sent me this and said "drops Mic" after she backed it into a spot.

    Mine loves to drive it.
    She steals the damn thing every chance she gets. After the DD exhaust I think she resorted to stealing it even more often than prior. We have 3 cars, and the Tundra was supposed to sit the most because of gas mileage (we’re a ways out of town).
    But it sits the least and has the most miles rack up because of her.

    My wife has driven the Tundra once, only because I had a few extra beers when we were out. She's a good driver, though, and I offer to let her drive it all the time. She prefers her Explorer.

    Nope. Says it's too big. She's probably right, since she drives an ass-draggin' VW Beetle to work every day. Likes to ride in it though.

    She does on occasion and says it’s easier to drive than my old Chevy. She always parks it way out in the empty end of the parking lot (we call it truck parking), which makes me feel better. It’s tough watching it pull away, but I do find it sexy as hell!


    I trust her with our son, so I guess she can look after my truck...:notsure:

    I work out of two locations. If I’m across town my wife takes the Tundra and I take her Camry. She loves it. If I had to commute across town in the Tundra it would have been gone long ago. My cross town commute is just under 70 miles if I have to pick up the kids. Hers is maybe 10 round trip.

    At first, I didn't want her to drive my truck.... But now it's no big deal. She usually only drives it when I'm drunk tho

    Hasn't asked, and I definitely won't offer!
    She is accustomed to smaller car-like, "cross over" , SUVs, and my Tundra would likely suffer dents , scrapes, and curb-rash on wheels before she got used to it. Consider that even a small ball-size dent in a door panel can easily cost over $1000 to correctly repair ...

    I don’t mind her driving my truck, she’s a great driver. Only time she’ll drive it if I’m busy and she needs something big. It’s hapoened a few times, but not often. She rathers me drive her around LOL

    Probably driven it about 7 times in the last four years.

    I will let her, but she refuses. When we go on a long road trip and we switch drivers she will drive it on the interstate because it is just straight highway. She will not try to park it (she can't even park her Prius straight between the lines) and she knows how anal I am about straight parking so that makes her nervous and then she refuse even more. She will be the one that cuts a corner too close and scrape the rear door on a post or other parked car, and then she will be mad at me for some reason. She also has a minivan that she is okay with for the most part (it's actually a fairly big vehicle) but she can't park that straight either. I don't know why parking is such a challenge. Other than that she is not a terrible bad driver.

    My wife is a First Responder, with lots of high-speed driving training. She is a very confident driver and can probably drive circles around me. That said, like Law’s wife, she seems to prefer I drive her around in my truck. Thank God. Haha.

    She will drive my truck if needed, and, she's a badass, so, has gotten used to parking it. I don't worry about her b/c that's what insurance is for, right... :thumbsup:

    We were both just commenting yesterday how tiny her '07 4Runner feels after rolling around in the Tundra. First road trip in the Tundra coming up next week.
