Yeah, there is a red pearl for the Tundra, but not the darker Cassis. MSRP was around 59K.

Yes, I'm looking for 20" or 22" with wider tires, these are 20x8 with 275/55 R20 tires. I think those look skinny on this big truck, maybe 8 or 9.5 wider tires would look better. I think this truck could easily accept 22" or 24" but I don't want to lose the (slightly) fat tire look and practicality.

I'm looking nice forged wheels, but I'm not happy with the ones I've found so far (Alcoa).

Awesome looking ride, I tried to find the Red Rock Interior and the Super White Exterior in the Chicago area and didn't have much luck. Scored up a Silver Sky Limited instead with Grey Interior. Seeing yours makes me wish i would have looked harder. If you want to unload the 20 inch Rims and Tires give me a heads up.

to the New Ride

What was your out the door price, if you don't mind? Also, did you take advantage of the 0% as well? Thanks!
Sorry so many questions but, is your a 4x4 & did you get the iPod interface & Sat radio?
I'm looking for a 2wd Plat. Arctic w/ Red rock & the above additions.

Yes, it's a 4x4. I didn't get the iPod interface nor the Sat radio - I plan to install myself the sat radio, they charged too much for that. You can find one on e-bay or even the OEM part here for $172.00. I already downloaded the installation manual from the web, no drilling necessary apparently.

Try to get that from the dealer, installed...I got $400 in one, and up to $750 to install in another.

Just check my e-mail to make sure. I paid $48.968 plus taxes and fees. The options were:

Cold kit with heavy duty battery
Rear seat entertainment system
Daytime running lights
Laser cruise control


I also manage to get carpeted floors and doors sills, which were available 3 weeks later. I've found cheaper Platinums at the time, 3k cheaper actually, but it wasn't the right color and it didn't have the laser cruise control. Also my dealer matched the highest quote I had on my 06 Infiniti M35, so it was easy in the end.

The 2008 Toyota Sequoia features Dynamic Laser Cruise Control that employs various on-board vehicle sensors to detect a preceding vehicle and a driving lane. Using information obtained from the sensors, the system performs the control which allows the vehicle to maintain an appropriate vehicle-to-vehicle distance, which can be set manually by the driver using a distance-control switch

have you used it much? If so, opinions...

[RipplingHurst]

Well, I also have it on the FX35, so I'm used to it. When I rent a car without it, it feels odd. So one gets used to it, I guess.

It's nice to have, sometimes the regular cruise control keeps pushing towards the car up front just that little extra that makes you tap on the brakes and lose the settings...not this one. It keeps the distance, so nobody gets nervous. Useful, specially here where the highways are not flat and people can't keep a steady pace.

Nice feature tundra's should be able to get this too ! I wish

[ImolaMMM]

I may have to add that to my options list, thanks!

"BTW, is something wrong with your vent in the last picture (on the right). Looks like something was pushed against it. If the dealer did it I'd go have it replaced.

Yeah, I don't know what that is. I think I manage to put it back, definitely something was pushed into it. But I'm not sure if it was the stroller it was always around there..."

You guys aren't talking about the laser cruise control set up are you? That's all I see in that picture...

[RipplingHurst]

Here's some new pics of my ride. No new mods, I just thought the lighting was right for these.
