    I live in Middle Tennessee (Houston County) turned 60 yesterday and have been driving a 2003 Tundra for over 10 years now. This morning I put a deposit on a 2021 Tundra SR5 and am expecting to pick it up next week. I was previously a "car guy" and remember forums being an extremely valuable source of information and so am looking forward to learning and sharing.

    Can you expound on that? My 2003 has a tow package that includes a trans cooler and the 2021 has a tow package. No trans cooler?

    Welcome from Chattanooga, TN. I had an 2005 SR5 I drove for 15 years. As of 2 months ago, I have been owning and driving the 2020 SR5. Like you, the transmission threads are a killer to read. However, I have yet to read a thread where someone had a transmission failure. Remember you bought this truck your 2nd Tundra due to reliability.
