    Researched pickups after owning only
    4 cars for 24 years. Got rid of my red Honda SI coupe for this. Knew I wanted black. Didn’t want cargo limits of an enclosed SUV, so I was led to Tundra via both feedback & my gut. Decided on a 2018 SR5 with the sport package all black, opted for the larger 5.7L, did not want/ need 4WD so I got the 2. Once I added a Bakflip tonneau the hwy miles surpassed the 18 mpg sticker max to 19-19.3 hwy at times. Never felt so good about a buying decision.

    Thanks all. I don’t join web forums this is a first. There were 2 main forum choices for these trucks and this just looked better. I’ll figure where to post questions. Only one I have now is aftermarket grills...I’m thinking that would wreck the radar (I do like the front grill like you have Seniramsu). Was that aftermarket? Not sure if a mod there can happen without impacting front sensor/ factory electronics. Not a mechanic type.
