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. Find a 1500 Z71 extended cab with the 5.3. It will do all you need. And do it very well.

Get on Toyota US web site & build a Tundra with their program. Or see if you can, & get all you want. I've been kicked up to a crew cab from an extended, or to a $4000 package upgrade just for a color change. Forget about getting wheel options other than what is in a particular package.
And... the word on the street in these parts is that the Yota plant just up the road is building nothing but the the highest end, most heavily optioned units they can. Folks are buying all they can make so they've decided to build only the highest profit units.

I never owned one, but my buddies Tundra falls on it's face when pulling an ATV trailer. My wife's Jeep will out run it with the same weight and a V6.

The Tundra may have the edge on ugly, but the Silverodriquez ain't far behind.
Imagine a corporate oligarchy so effective, so advanced and fine tuned that its citizens still call it a democracy.

It’s mostly COVTARDs that are stunned to discover the supply chain has encountered issues.
Unreal. What are these supply chain issues you speak of??

Buying a truck for the color is like buying a horse because you like the color, but it is not broke to ride or work. Doesn't look like you need a 3/4 T, go with the Silverado. If you are considering a 1/2 T any of the big three. The Tundra is automobile with a truck bed . Looks like you could go with a Tacoma

Options can vary by region too. Do a search on cars.com for the whole nation, don't limit yourself to just a few hundred miles from home.

Definitely heavier springs than domestic 1/2 ton pickups.

Better wait a while. New tundra having some recall issues. Probably just what you see with 1st gen vehicle reboot. Give it a year or two to sort out.

The old 5.7 Was about the toughest engine around. But everybody's wanting a sports car these days.

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 I have driven chevy, ford and dodge/ram trucks for the last 30 years.I ordered a 2022 Ram 1500 longhorn 4X4 crew cab with 5.7 hemi in April it came in last Friday.Nice fit and finish & great ride. Fuel mileage is around 19 mpg,s highway ..

Anybodies experience with the previous generation Tundra is totally irrelevant to this discussion.
