Toyota Tundra
« on: November 10, 2008, 11:58:00 pm »
Anyone got anything good or bad to say about the 2008 Toyota Tundra?

Strongly considering trading in my truck on one.  The price seems right.

Bought this instead...



6.0L, 6spd trans, 4x4, z71 suspension, SLE package XM/FM/AM/CD, 17" wheels, factory tow package.

If you work it right, you can get yours for $37K like I did. :)

Nice truck.. it is hard to justify the price difference in order to get the Toyota these days.

Nice truck. The Oil Companies Thank You for your continued dependence. GM Thanks you for taking one more unit off their hands before they go bankrupt....hope you didn't buy the extended warranty because they likely won't be around long enough to support it

Eh, I'm not worried about that.  They're not going under, no matter what they're telling everyone.

As for oil dependence... can't do much about that, mate.  I have a lot of stuff that I have to either tow or haul.  Can't do that with a Prius. :)

Gm, Ford & Chrysler won't go under... but they may well not survive in their current form. Not that that is a necessarily bad thing.

As far as the oil goes... I doubt the Toyota would get substantially better mileage that the GM.
