    Hi everyone,

    I'm Daniel out of Austin TX. I purchased my 2020 Tundra about a week and a half ago. Coming over from a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL with a 2.5 lift and 35s. I loved the Jeep, but needed a truck. I'd looked at just about everything but settled on a 4wd Tundra Crewmax. It's my first Toyota truck but I've had a number of Toyota vehicles over the years.

    To set it up the way I'd like, I have some upgrades planned and on order. I'll set up a build thread for that though. Thanks for letting me in! :D

    Welcome
    So what made you choose Tundra over Gladiator? I only use my truck for the long trips. I have been thinking about Diesel Gladiator but not sure if the Jeep is as comfortable as Tundra for the long trips.

    I kept going back and forth on that. Ultimately, I think the Gladiator is just ugly and the bed is small. I could have lived with that but I also wanted something that the wife and kids would want to ride in (two teenagers and a smaller one in a car seat). That's cramped for sure in the Jeep and a bit more spacious in the Tundra. Plus I really wanted a v8 and something proven, long lasting if I do my part. I'm already regretting the gas mileage but love the sound! :D
