    Hi everyone,

    Just picked up an '18 Cement CM TRD on Sunday, my first Tundra! I have been looking for an F150 and was convinced that was the way to go after a really good ownership experience with a 2007 King Ranch but after I drove the Tundra there was no way I'd ever enjoy driving any other truck - the Tundra is in another league!

    I've been poking around this site on and off today and many of the members have amazing trucks so I'm looking forward to reading more stories and how-to's, maybe even meeting some locals. Have a great evening all!

    Welcome from Oregon. I too left Ford in 2011 but for a new Tacoma from an F250. Since then I have had a 14 4Runner, my 15 Tundra and now the wife has a 17 Camry. Congrats on the new truck!!

    Let's mark today on a calendar. Find a ford friend with an F150. Then from today compare maintenance costs and how many miles each vehicle gets and see who wins in the year 2037. Ready go.
