History
Great vehicle; 4x4 4.7L V8, Shell on cargo bed; Brush (cattle) Guard on front; Added LED Backup light and plug-in rear view camera.
Smooth ride; Great for off-road; Easily outperformed 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500 AND a 2500 in ranching activity (both Chevys broke shock mounts because of inadequate road clearance, could NOT go where my Tundra easily goes)].
Only issues have been failed Oxygen sensors (3 now), have not replaced latest failed unit. Sensors do NOT affect performance, only complies with CA emissions. Get 16.6 mpg at 75 mph highway. Have twice cruised over 1 hour at 95+ mph on cross country trips. Occasionally use bike carrier for mountain biking. Great in snow, use Bridgestone Dueler Revo All Terrain tires. Now 100K miles (3/6/14).

Modifications
Drivetrain
Definitely use synthetic oil (5-30) and get ~10% higher mileage as well as 7,500 miles between oil & filter changes.
No other changes.
NOTE: I evaluated "high performance" air filters... NOT... they only provide the benefit of a few horsepower at ABOVE 4,000 RPM which translates to 100+ mph... a waste of money.
