    Mine never has and I'd like to keep it that way! She doesn't mind riding in it although she says the tires are too noisy.

    We both prefer driving the tundra. Parking it is the issue.

    I know if she has been driving it by looking at the mpg’s (12 mpg instead of 15) and it wants to hold the gears longer. Takes 3 trips for it to settle down for me. Wish Toyota would use the key to identity the drivers habits but they assume one driver.

    My wife is pretty petite, but she really wanted to experience the Tundra we all love here. Even with the seat adjusted all the way up and forward, she could barely see above the hood. Being in the passenger seat was pretty terrifying as i saw mailboxes pass by me by inches. When we pulled into the driveway in one piece, she asked how she did, and i gave her this..:thumbsup: I pray she doesn't ask again.

    We went out for our anniversary, she drove it home , drank too much. And after that she hasn’t driven it, she said she was scared as shit to drive it. That was 3 years ago.

    You know when your wife drives it you can govern it using Toyota Connect right? She would be mad though.... I sure would be!

    I'm not married, but if I was I would definitely let my husband drive my Tundra, if he didn't have his own of course, and I wouldn't complain. Ideally I would have a husband who had a truck and then I could go back to my Highlander SUV (LOVED the one I had previously), but for now it's a Tundy for me to help with home ownership chores!

    Yeah my wife drives the Tundra. For a year and a half it was our only vehicle. She confided in me a few months ago that she really, really likes driving it. She says she likes the power from the V8. God I love that woman!

    Most of the time now, if we need two vehicles at the same time to go separate places, I'll leave her the truck and I'll take the crappy Civic. Because I'm nice like that.

    Since my wife went from a Superduty to a 4Runner she likes my tundra a lot. She’s made the comment a time or two about it needing more power... She really likes it now after the 6112/5160 were installed.

    My wife keeps threatening to drive my rig, but I always call her bluff and say "OK". Truth is, she is scared to drive such a big, lifted vehicle. Her daily driver is a little Infiniti sports car.

    My wife has driven all my vehicles, and she's always gotten about 1-2MPG better than I do.

    UNTIL the Tundra. :D She drove it the first time, and told me that some guy blew a kiss at her. and yelled "Nice truck girl!" After that she suddenly started driving it a bit harder. LOL

    my wife will drive it once in a great while. She says she cant see over the hood.. Not sure what that means. Maybe I should get some phone books for her to sit on... :notsure:

    when she drives it I always ask "whats this scratch up here" :rofl:

    I posted way back in this thread. Well 2 years of ownership and my wife has driven my truck twice. The two time's that she did drive it i just stood there and watched her leave and thought how sexy(my truck) it looked leaving. My wife's sexy too but that's probably a different forum. So i just don't ask her if she wants to drive it anymore.

    She drives the crap out out of it, likes driving it more than her Jeep. She doesn’t even ask, just takes the keys and says I’m going to the store...right. I can hear her hot rod it once she gets on the blacktop. If I could afford another tundra payment, she would have here own. I glad she’s comfortable driving it, l

    She drives mine and loves it. I tell her often the tundra would appreciate a 4runner sibling beside it in the garage where she parks..

    My tundra is her daily. I commute 120 mi round trip per day so her Camry is my daily. Her commute is less than 2 miles. I hate it, but the gas savings almost pays the note on the Camry.

    I'm 2 weeks in and my wife has already driven/stolen it a few times already! She's a big fan... but it is nerve racking for her on some of the narrow back roads around here.

    I call the Tundra mine but its really my wife's. Its her daily due to her only having 10 miles to work and me having 50. I get it on the weekends though.

    My wife daily drives the tundra. Don't have it in me to abuse a new truck working in the woods, so I run the 15 year old, 300k Tacoma.

    My dad did that with a Highlander that he test drove. Then he decided not to buy it because it's a minivan body on a Camry platform.
