    Own a 4WD, 2010 5,7 l, since 8 month. By luck I found this truck with only 5000 miles on it (in 13 years), just 20 minutes away from home:thumbsup:. Looked brandnew (still does...)

    Need him for my business to tow the trailer and carry material. I am a wood merchant and carpenter, specialized in "wood for outside use" and work with Black Locust mostly.

    Until now I made 9000 miles, and I love this truck. Great for towing, and I get my motorcycle
    on the bed...

    Just put LED headlights on. Made the Rhino Lining on the bed, which is worth every penny, and its a perfect antislip.

    What I am missing is the AWD in maneuvering situations with loaded trailer to back up slowly, in low gear. I really think about swaping the t-case from the Sequoia.

    So there will be some questions regarding this conversion.

    This is awesome! You, sir, have answered one of my questions I was too embarrassed to ask out loud - are there any Tundras in Europe?

    Welcome!

    Oh no, you did what, bought a truck for... doing actual work? 1/2 ton pickup trucks are motorized grocery carts basically. If you carry, say, a shovel in truck's bed you need a 3/4 or 1 ton heavy duty pickup!

    ;)

    Congrats, that's a great work horse!

    thanks for the welcome!

    It is not to many Tundras in Europe, because all are imported like "privat". Official Toyota here dont have to much interest on this cars.
    I have a client who has a 2019 Tundra, and hes son just startet he's own business as a car mecanic. So he has a bit of experience and I am happy to have him to take care about the truck. He would also make AWD conversion.

    @vtl; dont worry... I am very careful with my cars. All the material i load only on the trailer. Just tool and small things are on the bed. And its only me loading and driving..
    I take care like the "chicken on the egg...":infantry:

    nope
    Hi Zappa,
    Does your truck have rear fog lights? We would ship our 2010 Tundra Longbed 5.7L 4 X 4 for use of a son who has a business use for it too. The one we have has front fog lights, but we don't know how it could be modified to have rear foglights as required in Switzerland. I don't clearly see if you have rear fog lights or not. If you do have them how did you get them installed?
    Thanks
    Hatuxka
