From a versitililty standpoint Tundra is the way to go IMO unless your going to keep the Titan which I remember you are not. Once you go the pick up route once it is hard to replace it with anything else.

Yeah, that's kind of my thinking. Every day I drive the Titan I think about how I would not enjoy replacing this with an SUV unless it was truly something special (like a SRT8 Grand Cherokee or something similar and out of my intended price range).

Having a pickup is definitely a nice contrast to also owning the ISF. I've priced out a Tundra with all the upgrades I want (nav, 4x4, large cab) and it can be had inside of my range and within 1mpg of my target. That's likely my move.

Are you looking at the 4.6 or 5.7? My platinum and my LX both have the 5.7. Its an excellent motor, I average around 14.5-16 mpg with my normal commute and when I take longer trips I can get 19 in the Tundra and the LX gets 17 - 18. It makes a really good lazy V8, But you can't go wrong with either both are bullet proof motors. Did you know the Tundra is actually made in Texas? I'm surprised the build quality is up to par.
