truth is on a distinguished road.
Default Couldn't wait til Monday so I flew to Ohio and picked her up yesterday...(pic)

Damn! I hate typos in the title on VBulletin!!!!!

Flew to Columbus, drove to Athens and picked up my Tundra. Snapped this one pic before the rain and then drove the 450 miles back to Chicago. I'll have more to add tonight including pics with the M (for those that asked).



Initial response after 8 hours on the road is that it's a damn fine truck. The BF Rugged Trails are horrid tires and will be tossed ASAP. The truck needs a lift and a more aggressive offset wheel to fill out the wells. Ride quality is excellent though I did find some sections of pavement that created the dreaded bounce but not to the levels that some here have experienced. It was annoying but not horrible. I can imagine that there is pavement that would make it dangerous if it was amplified beyond what I felt. The OEM nav functions very well. I can't for the life of me imagine what people are bitching about as far as features that shut off while driving. There is no way you should be entering in data while moving. Especially with the reach to the center of the dash. Red Rocks leather rocks. So glad I found a truck with it. The 5.7L is pretty amazing. It's got a real nice kick in the pants for a truck that size. Kinda scary on such crappy rubber though. I need to work on a non M3 driving style approach to corners though.
