Just brought home a 2019 SR5 TRD Sport.
I'm now in the Toyota Tundra family. My carbon footprint is now Celebrity status. Man, I wish I was rich. Let's see some pics Traded in my 2015 Titan...need to get a BAK Vortrak Truck Bed Cover and it's all set. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2020/01/full-14056-36833-2019_tundra_trd_sport.jpg) No you need to put a set of 6112 coilovers set at 1.9" on the front. Also need some Clazzio seat covers, amp for stereo, Infinity Xovers, and a sub Nah...I'm boring as he77 when it comes to upgrades. Stock and drive it like you stole it then never sell to a friend.

Got a 2017 crew cab with cap on back, nearly 20k on the odometer...it's not far to the lake and that's about all it's used for. Love that truck. If I ever have to replace it I might maybe consider a Ford; wouldn't even bother looking at any other brand.
Love Toyota, well made products. My Camry is approaching 255k, the wife's just went past 285k. Previous Camry traded in with over 350k. Prizm before that had over 400k. Only significant maintenance is 5k oil (full syn only) & filter changes.
Fishing, a man knows a serenity of soul and peace of mind that he finds in doing nothing else, and it makes no difference whether or not he catches anything. The mind of a true fisherman is not on petty subjects.

I'm now in the Toyota Tundra family. My carbon footprint is now Celebrity status. When you can afford to do it I would swap the factory air intake with a K&N or similar. Also get a high performance chip. Big difference and you will see better mileage. Part of the mileage issue is how people drive. I get 18 mpg in my '06 TRD 4X4 consistenly if I drive conservatively. That drops significantly if I drive 80 on the highway and punch the strip off the line at a red light. All the K&N will do on a 3rd gen Tundra is increase engine noise and lighten your wallet. Exactly..

Used Tundras hold value well, and crew max 4x4 especially holds value well.
The truck was probably $40k+ new even if it's just an upgraded SR5, so $30k for 2.5 yeas old and 18k miles is very reasonable.
They last a long time. Should be a good truck as long as you don't mind changing cartridge oil filters and bad gas mileage. Small price to pay for that type of reliability IMHO, but the low gas mileage could be a factor if they're dumping a ton of miles on it with no towing. You never miss an opportunity to post on tundra low mpg..why cant you realize SOME people don't buy vehicles because they just get a high mpg ? Not trucks anyway. As far as the cartridge filter goes I was not liking the idea before my first DIY change. I learned that with the proper tools they are not a problem. 8 qts of oil take getting use to. I can no longer just stick a 5 qt jug under the pan and open the Fumoto valve and walk away. It would be nice if all vehicles had a top mounted cartridge filter like the Tacoma.

I got under there to do my wife's Highlander oil change last week and absolutely could not get the cartridge filter housing off. Not sure what I'm going to do. For now, I refilled oil and left the filter. Freaking hate those things.

They're good trucks, just not very fast and eat gas. I think a lot of senior citizens and middle easterners drive them.

HA! My 18 year old pick up gets 12 mpg. Gotcha beat! My truck gets 9.7 MPG highway not towing. Any other truck would be an improvement
