Hi All

This is my first post on any forum. I have found this forum to be very interesting and informative. I am very interested in the new Tundra.

I guess I was a Ford person if anything. Grew up in an F100, had an F150 and when I moved to the city got a Sportrac. Had a Blazer with road churning tires. Went through a period of German cars with Porsche and Audi. Now I am getting back to my roots with a full size truck towing a trailer. When I decided to buy a new truck started to spec them out fully expecting to get a new F150. by comparison the new Tundra specs out so much better.

In my younger days I was a truck driver. 20-30k GVW farm trucks with 10 speeds and splitters. Kenworth, Peterbilt, Ford and old FWD's. We did have Toys running around the fields and they were tough. They were tin cans bacl then but they never quit and never broke. We would drive them till their bodies were floating in the mud, pull them out with tractors and drive them again.

No Truck is perfect and I've learned to live with their idiosyncasies and still love my truck. Toyota's come a long way and I look forward to getting to know my new Tundra.

Thanks for all the great info from all the posters.
