    Former GM fan. Looking to purchase a used Tundra Pro. 2016 or newer.
    Somewhat concerned about the cam tower oil leak. I intend to purchase July or August. Thanks!

    Yes,
    When the lady CEO with GM shutdown US production in favor of China and Mexico, I had to go. Crewmax built in Texas here I come. Chevy is now largely a product of Mexico.

    Welcome from SE PA!
    I came over to a Tundra from GM last fall. Best vehicle move I've ever made. My only regret is not making the move earlier.

    Be concerned about AIP problems as well. Budget $3000 for the anticipated non-warranty repair.

    Welcome from Colorado, I left GM too. Some dealers are taking care of the cam tower issue. Maybe get it in writing when you contract the truck. Make them stand behind their product.

    Pulled trigger on a 2016 SR5 4x4.
    The dealer is fixing the cam tower leak as part of the deal.
    Overall I am very pleased. Now for a winch bumper for my Warn M12000 and a 2" lift.

    I’m on my third Tundra. I traded my 2014 Tundra Crewmax Limited for a 2017 Tundra TRD Pro. The dealership allowed me $32,000 in trade. Pretty strong residual value. Not to mention a new GM are 10-20k more. The Tundra engines are built here in Huntsville AL and assembled in the Lone Star State. I believe it is the best truck hands down. Have y’all seen the new Titan? Looks like the Family Truckster from National Lampoons Vacation......what were they smoking! Uglier than a ziplock of bungholes. Just my 2 cents. Enjoy your new Tundra. Run the heck out of it.....get a good gas card.

    I hear ya! My Tahoe does 13 to 15 mpg,so I am accustomed to poor fuel mileage.
    The Tahoe has 25 gal tank. The 38 gal will result in a little shock on the second fill. Beaver Toyota provides the first tank.
