    The truck that I had before I bought my Tundra was a 1995 Chevy Tahoe. Big, heavy, handled like a pig. And for some reason, I loved that truck. Comfortable seats. 4WD was impressive. Rode nice. But you could use the gas gauge as a fan.

    I had originally purchased it in 2005 for my wife after a drunk driver put her in the hospital for 6 months. (No more sports cars for you, dear).

    She didn't like driving the Tahoe as it was too much for her to steer with all of the hardware in her arms and wrists, so I took the Tahoe as mine, and I got her something she could manage better.

    I drove that Tahoe until Oct 2019 when I bought my Tundra. I eventually sold the Tahoe in 2020.

    Well, I traded in a 2022 Honda Ridgeline for my Tundra. That thing was a leaky, electrical nightmare POS. Wasn't a bad little minivan with a circumcision otherwise, but I am much happier with my Tundra in terms of power and capability(towing and offroad).

    It doesn't have the ability to pull a trailer with two riding mowers on it up a long, steep slope......this is WV after all! LOL

    More and more, we need two zero turns going at the same time to get yards done.

    2006 Tundra seems to have that ability.

    No pictures, but before a tundra it was a series of family cars:

    2006 Ford Station Wagon
    2012 Dodge Caravan
    2018 Mitsubishi Outlander
    2006 Honda Odyssey - the STBX wife totaled the Outlander and we used the payout to buy the minivan outright with no payment to save on monthly bills. I hated it so much.

    I had my 2003 Tacoma for 14 years before I inherited my 2008 Tundra. The 3.4l in the Tacoma didn't get that much better gas mileage than the 5.7l Tundra, but the Tundra has a lot more room and a lot less miles (and the V8 grin factor). I kept the Tacoma for a year before I sold it.
