    Hey everybody,

    My name is Zach, and about a month ago I finally decided to make a step up to a pickup. Having wanted a Tundra, but knowing how hard it is to find used one, I pretty much resigned myself to looking at Ford F150's. Then my local dealer called and said they had two used Tundra's: one in Arizona that they could get, and one that was just traded in. So I test drove the one that was traded in, and the rest is history! Mine is an '08 tan TRD, haven't added anything to it yet but plan to once the check book can handle it! Probably a leveling kit and bigger tires to start, maybe a cold air intake and exhaust after that. I'm a novice when it comes to pickups, so any input would be appreciated.

    A freakin Camry lol. I got it partly cause I've always wanted one, and because my family's starting a side business. Can't pull a trailer with a Camry!
