    Hi all,

    I am a big toyota fan. My dad had a 2001 Tundra that he bought new and my brother got when he passed away... it's still his daily driver. I decided to get a truck myself a couple years ago and picked up a 2019 Tacoma. While I do like a lot of things about the Tacoma, as many have stated, it is just too small for me and my family and lacks some needed power. I've basically been eyeballing Tundras since shortly after I purchased the Tacoma. I am not a Tundra owner yet, but rather than getting a 2021, I'm going to wait until the new Tundra comes out. Just wanted to say hi all and look forward to learning and reading your posts.

    -Gavia

    Ditto... No regrets!! Tacomas are nice, but as you stated just too small...

    Word on the street is that Toyota will reveal the new Tundra on or around June 17th!

    Tundra.jpg I was in the same boat. Had a Tacoma one year to the day, and traded it in for new Tundra Crewmax. I'm not a big, big dude, but Tacoma was too small and not enough power. Nothing bad to say about Tacoma, but must admit love my Tundra. You will too. Welcome!

    If I could’ve kept the Tacoma around I would’ve. But thankfully I have kept this old girl around for 12 years and will keep her until she’s dead!
