    My first ever Toyota product. Had a Chevy Silverado 1500 from 1996-2003 & a Chevy Rusterado 2500HD from 2003-2020. WOW - WHAT A TRUCK! My Chevy was a workhorse, and I plowed a 1/3 mile (1 way) driveway with it in NH every winter, but it was a gas hog and rusted pretty badly (in spite of pretty careful washing, etc...). VERY impressed with the Tundra's build quality. Got the SR5 with the TRD off road package and technology package. Almost 3K & averaging 17 MPH in combined (but conservative style) driving. I put a deposit on a Meyer Super-V3 LD V plow; plan on installing it in early December. Now semi retired, but it will be my farm/work/commute/hunting/grandkid rig (and Boykin Spaniel hauler!). I just put a set of Timber's on in anticipation of the plow. When under the truck was very impressed with the way the truck was designed, engineered and built. Looking forward to many years of reliable (& hopefully rust free) service.
    Any suggestions on a Tonneau cover that can work with a ladder rack? I had a TRAK Rack on my 2 chevy's, and liked it but almost never needed to slide the rails back & forth (although we did need to take it off from time to time...)

    Rust can have a lot to do with the care you provide. Bottom coating with Wool Wax or Fluid Film prior to Winter will help keep rust at bay. Coat before first Winter. My 2010 I bought after 3 years uncared for by PO was held at bay for 7 more years with coating, but my 2020 will get coated from year 0 and hopefully last me 10+ years. The rest of the truck should hold up just fine.

    Welcome aboard from CA (Central Alabama). Snowy winters with plows on the front of the truck? What? I can't hear you. You're breaking up.

    Welcome from SE PA. Check out Diamondback tonneau covers for a ladder rack option.

    I have a Diamondback bed cover with their ladder rack installed on the rear panel, and two Thule roof racks to be able to carry loads up to 20’ super securely. I was a bit hesitant to put the diamondback ladder rack on the cover at first, but have found out that I absolutely love it. The gas pistons for the rear panel hold up the weight of the panel combined with the weight of the ladder Rack. Two thumbs up on this recommendation.
