I would not get a NEW TOYOTA for sh*t especially. I use to work for quick lube oil change for the Local Dealership and people would come in all the time complaints how they ride, cabin noices, and there ugly looking fresh out of the lot with NO STYLE IMO!.

I'd go for a NNBS Sierra with not a dout they look good fresh out of the lot and variety of NEW colors to choose from now....

I actually never seen that before pasadenaman maybe on the new Toyota's its been almost a yr now since i work there.

Toyota IMO older model trucks like 88-95 are reliable and they can pretty much handle a beating.

x2 Daryn C, and they do make single cabs Tundra they are rare. they just look ugly period.

Here is an update, wife asked to get another truck for the 10th time already. I have my eyes on an extended cab 2007-2008 GMC or Chevy 2500 HD 6.0 gas that has the same engine that all the stuff I bought will bolt on to. So I am selling the complete engine in the clasifieds.

You read all the negative comments, yet still want 1? Or checkin out the competition?

GueroRSCB, I'm shocked you've never seen 1 of those oil change vavles. Yes, lady3bglover that's to change the oil.
Like u said Guero, they're ugly as a RC. If I may add, as an EC too.
