    Not PLANNING on it...somewhere around 12-15K, with one vehicle, but this makes 3rd (until I sell Tahoe).
    I get the lower mileage thing but 1, I have a REALLY good mechanic and 2, finding many people around are commuting 50-70 miles day, because of housing costs (and not in NYC!!!). That said, there is some comfort in knowing anything for the 1st 12 months, which is when things are usually discovered, are still under warranty. Thanks for the input.

    Now, need to figure out whether to do an SR5 or Limited...one is on the horizon, other has to be found.

    I am fine with Katzkins, so not a deal breaker. Honestly, the ONLY thing I miss from Limited is the sunroof, as I have had one on every vehicle driven.
    Dual climate control - more of a pain, especially when people are climatically challenged...
    Glass sensor - add it to an alarm
    JBL audio - usually do my own upgrades and have heard it can be more involved with these systems
    Parking assist - little gimmicky though it seems helpful. Learn where the rear end of your truck is and use the camera...or get out and double check, like we did BEFORE cameras
    This one has aftermarket rims and I actually like the 18" TRD rims.
    It seems by just writing this stuff down, I have pretty much talked myself out of this particular Limited. Need to do some more looking around and see if I can find a certified SR5 or Limited, if not priced too differently.

    My SR5 have parking assist, RCTM, adaptive cruise, front collusion brake, lane keep warning...I found all those thing useful, and made me a better driver...lol

    The only thing I was "surprised" was missing was the parking sensors. Everything else SHOULD be in TSS, doe the 2018.

    Did a quick scouring for CPO, Limited vs SR5. Found it to be barely $1K difference between the 2...and thought these were aftermarket rims, but they say Fuel on them. I know Fuel is used in certain other Toyota trucks but never seen them on a Tundra.
    Going to look at both and decide if I feel like taking on the extra $8K for some extra piece of mind and other creature comforts I am not sure I as to whether I can live without. Hoping with it being a "holiday" weekend, maybe there can be some generosity... especially if these vehicle have been sitting for a little while.

    Just the auto brake will save you thousands, a lot of dumb asses fully stopped just to pull into a driveway or gas station. It save me once already while pulling into costco gas station...lol

    Haha, and I live in SE Florida, with a large population of older NE seaboard drivers... I do not go to Costco until 5:30P on Saturday, to avoid as much as I can.
    I think the TSS is standard on 2018+, which means I should have that feature on models being looked at. Struggled with 2016/2017 but decided on '18+ partly because of it and the changed instrument cluster. Glad to hear it is not just a gimmicky feature and actually is helpful.

    Went on a hunt today, also looking at an Escalade to confirm not needing an SUV.
    Apparently the truck I was hoping to see was not meant for me to purchase. By the time I got there, it has been sold.
    I consider an SUV for only 1 reason...I travel a fair amount with my dogs. I know many people put crates in the bed of the trucks but it makes me nervous, as I may not stop for 3-4 hours.
    For those who need to monitor temps but cannot keep the stuff in cab of truck, how do you monitor and/or keep it somewhat cooler?
