Glad I'm not needing a vehicle at this time.

Isn’t there a thread floating around from a few yrs back. Guy try ordering a Toyota with what he wanted and it kept getting kicked back. Basically Toyota was going to build it their way.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Me being a 'Yota guy..... Wouldn't dream of replacing my ole Silverado with a new Tundra The '02 pampered garage queen...2500 HD crew now with 137K miles Considered the Duramax/Allison when I ordered it...was $7K more at the time So I stuck with the 6.0L gasser...had no real reason to have the Duramax Been a good dependable truck...Never pulled anything really heavy 4 place loaded horse trailer....this Lexus from PHX AZ last year......all uphill ): If I could have bought a new '02 2500 HD instead of my current truck, I sure would have. Wore out an '03. My dad still has an '01 and an '05. No mechanical issues between them, just maintenance for over 500k miles.

I have a 2017 Silverado. 70k on it now. The only issues I had was a leaky Front strut and the washer pump went out. Both early, under 10k miles. I like it enough I am about a year late trading it in. Probably go with a GMC next.
Life can be rough on us dreamers.

Pretty sure I would not be in line for a Tundra right now. They are having a lot of turbo problems. I know the parts manager at the local Toyota dealer and though he’s a gung-ho Toyota guy, he admits they are not the success they should be. Toyota is working on fixes, but as of 2 weeks ago, he’s heard nothing.

If dead set on a tundra find 21 or older with 5.7 and live with the bad fuel mileage

I had a Toyota salesman tell me to wait until they get the bugs out of the new V-6 Turbos they're putting in the new Tundras. That wasn't the service manager, it was a SALESMAN. We'd just bought the wife a new RAV4, and I was looking for a new vehicle for me. When I mentioned that I might look at the Tundras, he told me to wait.
I've been looking around, and still haven't found anything I like enough to trade my current pickup towards. Nothing at all. Ford is having all kinds of issues with their vehicles catching fire, GM is having issues with engines dropping lifters, Ram is getting rid of the Hemi for a V-6 Turbo, and I don't like the local Nissan dealer, that doesn't leave much.
I do really like the wife's RAV4, but I think I have one more pickup left in me.
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

Government Motor Car? Heard they are building them with 3 left tires nowadays. Old man has a 21 3/4 duramax. Underpowered and anything hitched to it with any kind of weight puts it on the overloads not to mention the price…. I’d save my money. Only thing worth a [bleep] is the brucejenner.

I have an 07 Tundra. 180,000 miles on it now. 15 years old, and I’ve had very little done to it. So far, the damage has been a replacement starter and a right rear taillight bulb. No problem towing my travel trailer or my flat trailer with the tractor on it. Fifteen years and nothing else has needed work. Never burned a drop of oil yet. An amazing truck. What an engine. Yes, I will buy another one., but I sure don’t need one.
Guy I know is ex-Toyota, and he says to wait till 2023.
My Tundra mileage does suck, at 15 mpg average. Gets 10 mpg towing my TT. They say the new ones only get 17 average, if they get that much. I’m waiting to see if the Hybrid version has significantly better mileage, and who knows what it’ll cost. I may wind up just keeping the 07 till it dies, but the problem with that is that it may never die before I do.
It’s true that I can’t drive past a gas station, but I sure can drive past the Toyota dealer service entrance, and I like that.

I own a Toyota Tundra and a GMC Sierra, both with small V8 engines. Get the GMC/Chevrolet. My GMC gets twice the gas mileage the Tundra does and is a better truck for towing. The newer Tundra has that awful cannister oil filter instead of the spin on.

I put a $1k deposit on a 2022 Tundra back in November...
Since then I have been getting real time intel from guys that bought them early (i.e. they work at the dealership and have an inside track).
That intel is NOT good... as in they will probably be selling their trucks/have already sold them... stuff failing/cracking/leaking... kinda nuts for Toyota.
When mine comes in... I will decide yes or no at that time.

GMC/Chevy... I wouldn't touch one with a 10 foot pole.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

I think if the Toyota full size truck wasn't so ugly they would be more desirable.

The newer Tundra has that awful cannister oil filter instead of the spin on. And they are a PIA to change...not just Tundra especially when you have to remove steel bumper trim plates Then the skid plates....wife's Lexus GX 460 Holds 8 qts of oil though
