    Hi! I'm Roger from Florida and have done the unthinkable! My beautiful Chevy Avalanche had just over 100,000 miles and desperately needed a new, very expensive transmission. I had just heard about the great reliability of Toyota and with a fair amount of hesitation, I agreed to visit Toyota with my wife. Inside the dealership, my wife spotted this gorgeous 1794 Edition 2016 Tundra. She called me inside and it was LOVE at first sight! We were destined to be together for the rest of our lives (I'm in my 70's). This is the nicest truck I have ever owned and it is pure joy to drive. I have made some minor improvements such as the chrome TUNDRA letters and tailgate latch cover DSCN1277.jpg DSCN1274.jpg DSCN1273.jpg DSCN1280.jpg DSCN1275.jpg , and of course my Marine license plate holders, lol. I am really looking forward to learning about Toyota from this experienced forum!...P.S. That's my other love - Holly - in the photos.

    Welcome from NC Roger! Congrats on one beautiful truck! Had the same issues with an Avalanche I once owned. Put the tri fold tonneau cover on my Tundra and love it even more than the Avalanche now.

    I did the same as you, put the Backflip VP tri-fold cover on my Tundra. Just as nice if not better than the Avalanche!

    Welcome from SE PA!
    I’m a recent convert from Chevy. I had a Silverado Classic with 124K miles that was going downhill fast and expensively. I know have a 2019 Tundra CM 1794 with the BakFlip MX4. I too couldn’t be happier with my move to a Tundra.
