    Hey guys,

    Looking to move up to a Tundra from my 17 Tacoma SR5 as I have been hitting my head as of late getting in the vehicle which is rather annoying. LOL

    Also thinking about buying the Tundra so as not to lose out on the V8. Biggest concern is price of this guy and the poor gas mileage.

    Seems its gonna run me about $18K out of pocket cash for a Tundra SR5 Crew Max out the door after trade in of $23.5.

    Opinions and advice welcome!

    Welcome from Central Florida!
    Just traded in my 2013 SR5 Crewmax 2wd for a 2018 TRD Offroad SR5 4wd at Autonation WP.
    The gas mileage is crappy, but I had a Tacoma rental for a week and there really is no comparison. The Tundra is just a bigger and better truck all around. You just have to deal with the gas mileage, esp. with gas prices going up. We have a 19ft ski boat and the Tundra pulls it like it's almost not there.
