    Good Evening All,

    First time Toyota buyer. Monday I bought a 2012 Tundra, 32K miles, SR5, TRD, DC, 4.6l. I've had Fords for probably 20 years, had 1 Dodge and 1 Chevy. I traded my 2014 Silverado Z71, which was my dad's truck, in on this Tundra. My twin brother has had Toyotas for more than 20 years. I went backwards a little bit on number of options with this truck, but I am still in love with it. What I miss is the heated seats, steps in the corner of the bumpers, a couple of MPG, the firmer brake pedal, and how loud the factory Chevy stereo was. What I don't miss was the Chevy's ride quality.

    Thank you all. It was an honor for me to serve this great country. And my training in the service has lead me to a lifelong career that I love in the civilian world. rocky_mtn_trd, my twin brother lives in the Springs and has a Tacoma TRD.

    Welcome! And don't worry. With all that money you save on repairs, you can use to get what options you want. I am impressed on the 32K on a 2012. Good find! There are lots of guys that argue constantly about what color is fastest on here. I have a red Tundra myself...and well, you are going to have to get used to the panties dropping as you drive by....its a bit distracting at times.
