    I'm considering trading in my 2014 Ford F-150 EcoBoost for a new Toyota Tundra. I've heard great things about Toyota's long term reliability, even if they don't have the latest technology. I have a few questions I hope someone can help me answer.

    What kind of city/hwy mileage does the hybrid get?

    Does the hybrid offer an "electric only" mode for driving short distances?

    How bad is wind noise on the highway with the rear glass all the way down?

    Does your phone have to be physically plugged in with a cable for Android Auto/Carplay to work, or can this be done wirelessly?

    Does Toyota offer a folding bed extender for the Tundra?

    What are the largest tires that fit without rubbing on stock suspension?

    Is the 3" lift from TRD compatible with the rear air suspension and adaptive variable suspension?

    Since can't step on bumpers when tailgate is down, any tips for getting in/out of the bed?

    Totally varies on how you drive it- i can get 13, i can get damn near 30 if i try

    No, its all based on your foot and watching the hybrid gauge

    Not terrible, sun roof is way louder than the rear window

    No, its wireless carplay

    Yes they do

    35x11.5

    No its not

    They sell a toyota bed step, aftermarket will come out with one soon

    I was actually impressed at how quiet it is with the rear glass down. Never had a Tundra before, so I was operating under the assumption it was going to be windy and noisy with it down, but if you just have the rear glass down and no other windows open, you almost can't even tell it is down. I did have some maple tree nerds in my bed and rolled the back glass down, and when I rolled down my front windows, it blew all of that crap out of the bed and into the cab. That was not great. Have a tonneau cover now though, so problem solved.
