I’ve driven chev silverados many years. Long story, but tried to order a 2023, cant get the color I want, the motor I want or the wheels I want.
So I reverted to a 2022, but the situation is pretty much the same, can’t get what I want.
If I’m paying $60 grand plus for a truck, it’ll be what I want.
So am thinking of trying a Tundra, hopefully they’ll make what I want.
Those that have had silverados and Tundras, and recommendations, or comments.
Thanks

Are you concerned about gas mileage? If not, Tundra all day.

Viking, I’m reading that the newer 3022 are much better on gas. The previous were terrible. Am I mis reading?

Owned both. A 2013 5.7 Tundra and now a 2021 GMC Denali with the 6.2 and 10 speed. No question about it the GMC is better in all areas. It has more power, gets much better mpg, rides smoother, handles weight in the bed better and tows better. Put 500 pounds in the Tundra bed and it would squat bad. Same weight in the GMC and you don’t even notice it. Tundra is more like a car than a truck.
Neither truck ever needed any warranty work. Owned the Tundra for 4 years/40k and GMC is 15 months old and 8k miles. Granted, the GMC is a more advanced truck so you would expect some of those improvements. Both are 4x4.


My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

You're probably still not going to get what you want.

I have a 14, sucks for mileage.

I’ve no idea what their V6 gets, it can’t be any worse.

Some people consider a Tundra a truck, I don’t. Certainly they are capable of some truck like activities, but if you really want a truck to use for more than going hunting and fishing, you can’t beat a Silverado 3500 with a Duramax and an Allison transmission…

Has Toyota started putting turbo's in their Tundras?

Caught a few youtube videos where people are dogging the new Tundras

Toyota does build to suit so to say. I just picked up a 22 Tacoma for a hunting truck. I was able to find one that was allocated with the options I wanted but not the exact color. If you are dead set on color look for that first and then see if you can modify the dealer allocation to fit your needs.

Keep in mind I waited 7 months to find an allocation that was the pkg I wanted then another 3 months for fit to be built and delivered.

Toyotas are not really cutting edge but they are reliable. This is our 4th new Toyota and short of needing a diesel in the future I won’t buy anything else.

You mentioned color and rims and nothing about what the vehicle will be used for.

LOL

Good luck on Toyota providing your optimal specs in a timely manner.

Aftermarket wheel options are limitless.

Not sure I'd want to be in the beta test group for the newest generation of Tundra (or any other vehicle). Bound to be some shi.t in the first model year or two off the line.

You aren't going to march into a Toyota dealership and tell 'em where the bear sh.its and come walking out with what you want either. Less so than the GM, likely longer wait, and money down to get your spot in line for what they'll feed you.

It’s mostly COVTARDs that are stunned to discover the supply chain has encountered issues.

Unreal.

I failed to mention, it will be used for hunting and just day to day getting from point A to point B. I do take 500-1000 mile road trips for hunting. I tow very little if at all and don’t haul anything greater than a dead elk or two.

I’ve got an 06 Silverado with 230,000+ on it. Other than a nutty a/c system, it has been VERY maintenance free. Of course the new ones have more gadgets that can break and malfunction. Hard to argue with Toyota reliability though. Toyota doesn’t send money to the communist UAW either.

Had a Silverado. It was a 6.2L Towmax. Biggest piece of garbage I've ever owned. Sure, had nice features and it was powerful, but none of those things matter much if it breaks down more than its on the road.

I went through ball joints on mine like crazy and the parts were asinine. I ended up buying an after-market lift kit for it that had cheaper ball joints. It went from $800+ a set to $200. The steering rack went out three times while I owned it. That also wasn't cheap. AC, bearings, blower motor, so on and so forth. Then the engine started to sludge. Then finally, the transmission went out. While I liked the truck itself, I spent about all I could in repairs on the POS when it had a mere 130,000 miles on it.

I bought a new Tacoma. So far it gets better mileage, its more nimble, but performance isn't like the Silverado. That's ok, I don't need to hot rod it or cruise around with "luxury". That's the problem with these trucks these days, they want to turn them into a car and put so much electronics on them that they are unusable.

I wouldn't buy anything GM these days.

The 2022 Tundra has a 3.5L turbo engine very similar to what Ford is using. Fuel mileage is better than Tacoma now. Too early to say how it will work out.


Most people don't really want the truth.

They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.
