We have had 3 Tundras, all excellent vehicles. Rock Warrior was an offroad TRD (Toyota Racing Development) option with Bilstein shocks, skid plates and a visual package. SR5 Limited was an option package with leather, bells and whistles and the offroad option. Really nice truck.
The Tundra DOES NOT have a locking differential. It uses traction control to automatically apply brakes to the spinning wheel to force power to the other wheel in a low traction situation. This system will get you stuck and keep you stuck. It does not work. If you get stuck and want to rock forward and back the computer pulls engine speed to idle before allowing the transmission to shift. Stay stuck. True fuel mileage empty is between 12 and 14. Occasionally gets 15, but rarely. The on board mileage computer is 4-5 mpg optimistic.
My wife has a 14 Platinum Tundra we had supercharged. 441 rear wheel horsepower. Will tow a 10,000 trailer with ease. Platinum option is a lot of luxury stuff. Hers has the CrewMax cab with a great rear cabin at the expense of bed length. 5.5 feet vs 6.5 on the double cab version. Single cab gets you 8.1 foot bed.
These are very reliable capable trucks with the best retained value of any of today's trucks.
