Fantastic buy, congrats! If you want, you can double-check if you're affected with some recalls for the 2011 Tundra by entering your VIN https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls

How's the tried and true 4.6 V8 in power and NVH?

awesome!! i admire your restraint for being able to live without the 5.7 lol... having driven both i almost wouldn't want it without the bigger engine, but i've also never claimed to have my priorities totally in order. also love the 40 black ladies visual you gave us hahaha...



using that same analogy, i guess my LS on michelins would be the tom hanks in that group

the VH categories are quite good but it certainly makes a bit of a racket. not a bad racket but you know it's a truck so it fits well. power is good but it's still got the big heavy tundra to move around so if you hop in a 4.6 powered tundra right after the 5.7 it feels a bit more on the sluggish side. for all realistic purposes the 4.6 is a perfectly adequate engine though.
