    Hi there!

    I have had a 2014 silverado, a 2017 Ram and a 2018 F-150. I am looking at a 2019 Tundra SR5 CrewMax with TRD off road. The price is amazing and the truck runs good. The sorely needed tech update bothers me but I was hoping someone could give me some real-world feedback on their experiences. I'd be trading a 2018 Wrangler JL Unlimited. I miss having a truck!

    Help! and thanks!

    It’s true that Toyota is way behind on tech stuff and interiors, but it doesn’t bother me much. I figure those things are easy to add aftermarket if you want them.

    I just went from a 2017 Wrangelr JKU to a 2019 Crew Max SR5 a couple weeks ago. No regrets. I actually found the tech on the Tundra an upgrade form the Wrangler.

    My 2018 is a JL. The tech is brand new. It's actually great. Same as in the Grand Cherokee or New Rams.

    I totally agree with Jason. You will not regret buying a Tundra, anyway this is a great site for DIY mods with links and pictures.

    Oh I'd need to go lift, wheels tires immediately!

    I know what its like to just spend boatloads of money - Wranglers are good for it! I'm considering a 2019 Ram Rebel too, but I'm also seeing a HUGE premium in price.

    Welcome from Arizona! I've owned 4 Toyotas, this last purchase a Tundra. I've only had it week, but it's a keeper.

    Welcome. The Ram Rebels sounds nice from factory; but I prefer longevity over it and am able to make it how I want it.

    I actually like having less technology; less opportunity for stuff to break. I have what I need for a truck.
