Gone: Audi A4 Quattro (wife's).....thank god! she loved that car....I cried tears of joy when the Toyota dealer said they'd give us $7k in trade!!!!
Ordered: BMWx5 Diesel (her "chick truck")....Hauls *** for a Diesel...and we got $2,500 in Obama-eco credit for saving the earth in a huge car-truck thing...whatever; they pay maintenance (I learned that this is essential after owning a new Audi) and she likes it and the dog fits, and I like Diesels. too fancy for me...but I don't have to drive it everyday, so who cares? Made in America, putting Americans to work in South Carolina!!!!!
Here: 2011 Tundra doublecab (6.5' bed) 4x4, 5.7, rock Warrior, etc.
0% APR for 5 years, 2 years maintenance, They took the stupid Audi in trade, 3k under dealer invoice, Great MPG for 400hp, real backseat, warranty, etc. Made in America, putting Americans to work in Texas!!!!!
I owned a first generation Tundra that I bought new in 2000. decent truck, but in my opinion and experience with Toyota (bought first one in 1989...pretty much had one since), the newer Toyota are just not as well-built and reliable as the older Toyota that formed the Toyota reputation. So I hope that the new tundra will be a decent truck, but I don't have any unreasonable expectations with it....
We looked at the Tacoma, but I don't like the tiny bed, and the lack of power would get old fast (it always does), seems really expensive for what you get, and basically we both do not like the way it looks compared to the first-gen taco. I do understand that the Tundra is not the most beautiful truck on the market (Raptor wins that one), but any new truck is ugly compared to a FJ60 IMHO. Plus side to Taco is the smaller dimensions and loads of aftermarket stuff. Realistically I do not drive that fast, but I do want to be able to go up a mountain pass loaded with people and gear at 70 if I Choose to.
I have been checking out the Tundra build threads on here.....there are a few that are stunners!!!
First Mod: a really good dog blanket for back seat!!! and probably XM radio.
Soon to go: 1984 FJ60.......LOVE this truck..Love it...she loves, it...I love it, the dogs love it......random people on street love it. But, i only want to have one older vehicle with a manual transmission (she doesn't like driving stick), and the 911 won the battle easily.
