FNG in Ohio with my first Tundra

Hi. Just bought my first Tundra after being a lifelong Ford guy. Spent years working on F150s and Broncos, especially the 92-96; that were my favorite.
Decided I wanted something different. Did some research on the internet into reliability,. Saw how well people regard the Tundra, really started to notice how good they look as well and have fallen in love with them.
Got a beautiful 2017 after a lot of watching the Internet, dealing with shady dealerships, seeing some nice looking trucks that either sold before I got to it or were rusting out underneath. Finally caught a break and am very happy with what I ended up with. 2017 DC SR5 5,7 4wd Magnetic grey with 94000 miles and not much rust underneath. Took it on a short road trip for work this week and love it even more now. Driver door lock is having that issue that it only works with the key, but I think it may be the actuator since the truck does beep with the first click of the remote. Looking forward to learning about Tundras from you and hopefully have something to offer.

 

Congrats on the new purchase. Looks sweet and 2017 is a great year.

 

Welcome from Ohio. Congrats on your truck, smiles per gallon right there.

 

Great looking platform you got there! I'm a tad biased though....

Welcome from TX!

 

Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)!

 

Welcome from New Hampshire, nice looking truck!

 

Welcome, love the color, I have same in a 2020, big Toyota fan, 4Runners now Tundra. Reliability is top notch. 20+ years, 3 vehicles, never a mechanical issue. Great forum, browse around.

 

Welcome from NY.

 

Thanks for the warm wishes. My bank account is already trembling with anticipation of all the cool stuff I am going to do.

 

Welcome from South Central Tennessee!

Nice truck, congratulations!

 

Welcome! Nice ride!

 

It's not much, but the first thing I've done to my new to me Tundra was update the software in the radio last night.
I've also found a guy on FB near me when a brand new set of the knock off TRD rear sway bar for sale. Decided to start using dark red accents with the Magnetic grey of the truck. Not finding many vehicles done that way on the internet and I think it will look great.

 

Welcome from NC

 

I went to a junkyard today to get a grab handle and A-pillar cover for my 2017 out of a 2007 Tundra. I was so excited.
In the terrible junkyard pics it looked like a grey interior, it was not. It was Tan.

Once I am past 30 days age on my account I will offer it up in the market. Would prefer a trade if someone knows where to get a grey set.
