Tundra Regrets?

2020 without Keyless Entry. Should have taken 1.9% for the limited VS 0% for the SR5. I did roll over a lot of negative equity from my wifes car (We put 10,500 down on hers because it was at 3%) it was a smart fiscal decision, I just want some of the features in the limited now.

 

My SR has Keyless though so I think it was maybe just that truck?

 

My guess is it has to deal with build dates. or maybe how they were ordered, I love my truck though so I am happy.

 

I hear you it just seems odd to me?

 

Our version of the TSS in the Southeast, called the XP, has the upgrade package. Is that not an option for TSS?

 

Wished I had the bigger gas tank

 

X2 on the larger tank!!!

 

Only regret is I didn't hold out for a voodoo blue. They offered up a realy good deal on this cement they had in stock,otherwise really like the truck.

 

I should have had the front end's protective wrap installed from the dealer just to have it from day 1!

 

Good lookin truck,I didn't like the honeycomb look in the grill,ford did that first,I felt like Toyota copied a bit

 

I wish I would've gotten a Platinum. Didn't think I'd want all the bells and whistles but I do lol

 

After putting half a million miles on 4 previous YOTAS (RAV4,06 4Runner Sport, still own,06 Tacoma Prerunner, 04 Tundra Texas Edition) My only regret is not being the original owner of this 17 Limited because I have to look at all the scratches in the door panels from someone’s boots! Lol! Just did a round trip from my house to Kansas City, 1400 miles hope I never have to do it in anything other than my Tundra.

 

Only regret on the 2020 at this point is the tri-fold tonneau instead of the Diamondback. I have the Leer tonneau on my 2008 and regret not putting PPF around the side edges to protect the paint so this time went with the tri-fold. I may sell the Undercover Ultra Flex tonneau cover and get the Diamondback HD.

 

I didn’t want leather but I wanted keyless and led headlights etc so I got sr5 with trd off road package. The OR package had the smart key and headlights in it.

 

Another vote in the “I wish I had bought a platinum” category

 

It is a Tyger tonneau cover, had one on my Tacoma that lasted forever.
Want one that I can stand on.

 

Something I may regret in the future is... about three years ago I unknowingly drove the truck for a couple weeks with a busted radiator hose. Seems a rock or something bounced up and poked a hole in it. The engine temp gauge would climb to red line then drop dramatically back to normal range. That happened a handful of times over those two weeks before I got it repaired. I hope it doesn’t cause any issues with the motor long term...

 

I wish I would have purchased a package that game me the LED lights. I wrapped my 2011 around a tree and needed a vehicle, so I couldn't wait when I purchased my 17.

 

I’m ignorant so stay with me. Why do so many change their transmission fluid so often? Are there know issues or is this OCD? I have driven 2 Lexus vehicles to 250k miles without a single transmission service.

 

Negative equity and smart are like oil and water! Hopefully you financed it for less than 48 months because that’s pretty much the only way to stay away from negative equity

 

@PayItOff428
It's not OCD,but I'm heavy in maintenance,and I enjoy doing it and spending my money doing it.Im sure since I've joined I've mentioned this truck has started every single day since I've owned it without fail.I live in Orlando FL,I drive it daily doing service calls and stop and go driving for 12 hours everyday.After just 3 months,it never comes out the same shade of red when it goes in.It blows me away.As for the motor oil,it's mobil1 5/30,it comes out black everytime.(as long as I get as close to 3 or 4 weeks every oil change I'm happy with that,I'm not exact by any means)
Your driving habits may differ,I always have 6 to 800 lbs of combined tools and parts in the truck at all times,I address everything as I catch it,I try to do a visual inspection every Sunday,just look over the truck and under it. Cosmetically,I've replaced the window weather striping,and the 2 black strips on the cab roof because the sun beats it,and the black trim on top of the tailgate,and the tailgate handle/release.Pulling up to a commercial account in a truck that's falling apart and preaching maintenance is bad for bidness.I can't imagine going 250k without changing the fluid on anything.I love the diversity on this forum,it's why I joined.

 

I tried an air intake years ago. That was a complete waste of money. I had put 35x12s on it too, ended up selling them as that was way too big for stock gears in day to day driving

 

what ? you live in HB..gotta have 35's min

 

Shoulda got mine sooner.

 

I did exactly what you said. After selling the steel wheels and tires I am in for 813$ and the only thing I dont have tss wise is the stickers and exhaust tip which I probably won't do.

Scroll all the way to the bottom for the current look of my truck for 813$

 

Reading all your comments and I agree about regretting not having a larger tank

 

Going with a hard cap instead of a softopper. I like my cap but didn't realize how much I use the bed unrestricted

 

I kinda regret buying it. I miss my diesel...….

 

I wish I would have gotten a Double Cab instead of Crewmax... or alternatively not modded my Crewmax as much as I have so I'd feel better about trading/buying

 

you can always add one and it's a lot less expensive than buying a new truck
I'll get to it eventually.
