New Member stepping up to the big dawg

Hi all,

Been in the Toyota Fam since 2010 with two different Tacos. It's time to step up to more space for activities. I am expecting to take delivery of a 2023 Tundra Platinum Hybrid crewmax 6.5' bed in wind chill pearl within the next week or so. Fingers-crossed that's true.

I placed a deposit about 18 months ago and have been patiently waiting for the right rig to get allocated. It seems like Toyota isn't producing a ton of the Platinum long bed hybrids. Haters gonna hate, but I wanted the extra bed space.

The 2017 Tacoma will be going up for sale soon and while I hate to let it go - I have too many vehicles and not enough driveway/garage space.

Looking forward to connecting with everyone once this build commences (front and rear C4 bumpers are already here, Diamondback cover will be here tomorrow). Patiently waiting for Dobinson to release the MRR lift kit and then it's go time!

 

Welcome. Oh please buy my 17 method so I can put on the bbs

wind chill own here.

Very nice OP! Hope it works to your expectations!

I suggest reading up on known potential issues with the '23. Could save you some time and trips to the dealer!

I've got a CM short bed and it's a pretty long truck. Having a hard time imagining it being a foot longer...!

 

Yep - I've been reading up for quite a while now so I know what to expect/look out for.

And yes. This will certainly be an adjustment after driving a Tacoma for the last 7 years, but I grew up driving box vans and full size pickups. Just gonna have to relearn my corners
