    I drove an ‘18 today and it’s basically the same truck. Don’t think there’s enough new bells and whistles to warrant the price

    I came to the same conclusion. After putting money into mine to make it to my liking, I would be giving money away to trade up to newer.

    We were looking at 16s and 17s here. 3-5k less. Went with new instead.

    The dealers in VA have plenty of new tundras on the lots.. and they are willing to deal... looked at used also and couldn’t justify buying a used for only a few thousand less than I could buy a new truck for..

    I'm in the market next year for a Tundra. Does the TRD Sport really handle that much better than the others? I drove a TRD Off Road 1794 and found the steering and handling atrocious even for a truck. My only dislikes of the truck.

    I drove a 2019 off road and a sport. The sport hands down when comes to looks and most important handling !

    That Barcelona is hot, nice truck. Two weeks ago I purchased a 2019 Sport CM.

    Changed all all badges, added tint, SCS wheels, Nitto rubber and Bilstein 6112’s. These trucks are solid. Looking for to adding some miles to the clock.

    Hell, I had an 08 and wouldn't have upgraded if I wasn't going from DC to CM

    While I am one of the few who likes chrome, I’d do what others have said. Just swap the parts out to color match and whatever else you wanna change the look of.

    Save money de chrome. Not worth trading in for the small reasons you listed. Financially your right it’s a bad decision

    Not really. The cluster instruments changed in 2018, or am I wrong.

    I take the 18 over the previous years
