    Hey everyone,

    New member/future Tundra owner here just introducing myself. I currently own a 2012 Iceberg White FJ Cruiser, but will soon be sending her off to a new owner to purchase a Tundra. My wife drives a 2013 Tacoma, but wants to get a Lexus RX since we have a kid on the way. While I love my FJ, she also wants me to get a full sized truck so we can more easily tow toys - and when it comes to a full sized truck, the only option I'd consider is a Tundra. Right now I'm just holding out to see if there is a redesign in 2021, and if I like it more than the 2020. Either way, this time next year (or sooner), I'll be getting a White TRD Pro. I just decided I should stop lurking here and actually join, so some others can celebrate with me when I join the club.

    I'll be purchasing next year regardless of when the redesign happens; I'm just bitter about buying a 2004 Tacoma as my first ever new vehicle, and then having them do a complete redesign for 2005. Either way, my wife has made it clear she has no desire to load and unload a kid into the back of the FJ for very long and wants me to get a truck with better back seat access - so I'll either be getting it next year. To be honest, I don't even know if I can wait until next year.

    Welcome from Maryland :hattip:

    Your FJ is worth it’s wait in gold at a Toyota dealer- just traded my wife’s 08 FJ in on a 16’ 4 Runner- do your research on what yours is worth and don’t let them short change you !!

    good luck

    That's no joke I saw one at my local dealer and it had 46k miles. I think it was an 08 but they where seriously asking what the sticker price was back in 08 but still thats nuts.

    Oh they drool over it every time I go in; they don't even ask me if I'm interested in buying a car anymore - they always just wanna talk about my FJ.
