    I have been reading this forum for several weeks while I was deciding on what truck to buy. Decided on a Tundra so I am join this forum to ask questions. I am buying a Tundra from CarMax and it is being shipped from Colorado. I don't have a delivery date yet. It took me a while to find what I wanted once I decided on a Tundra. I like all the goodies but the sunroof and I wanted the 6'5" bed. I don't like the sunroof because I'm 6'5" and I hit the sunroof when I go off road. Found that out in my 4runner after I bought it. So I found a 2014 DC limited 4x4 TRD off road package with everything but the sunroof.

    I'm 5'7" so I don't have these issues you speak of. On the other hand, I have short arms.

    Welcome from Colorado! If you're 6'5", could you just open the sunroof when off-roading so your head DOESN'T hit the roof? :rofl:Glad to have ya bud.

    I am still filling out my profile. I'm in NorCal the Sacramento area. The truck is getting shipped from Colorado Spring, CO. You can only get the limited w/o sunroof on the 2014 on. Apparently Toyota now has the platinum series that comes with everything.

    Well this is embarrassing, the truck that I was going to get turned out to have the 8ft bed on it. No where in the description did it mention that. I was looking at the specification page that CarMax attaches and noticed that the overall length was 19in longer that other Tundras that I was looking at. I did notice that the bed looked longer but I thought it was the camera shot. So I canceled that sale. No worries I found another. I decided to live with a sunroof since I could find more trucks that had everything else that I wanted and I still have 1/2 an inch between my head and the sunroof. I had zero in the 4runner and I have lived with that. I switched to the CM because there seemed to be more out with what I wanted and I need to put my seat all the way back to in the DC so there would very little room for anyone behind me. I also measured the bed in the CM with the tailgate down and with an 8ft sheet of ply in the back it only sticks out a little over an inch. I still have to wait for delivery though, this one is coming from Texas. Oh it is a 2014 1794 with 86000 miles but I'm buying the extended warranty through CarMax for 4 years or 125k miles. I put less than 8K a year on the 4runner so that works for me.

    Well, good thing you caught it on time. Glad you found one you liked. If its the one in the pic, looks like it's in great shape. Good find.
