You just bought the last model year of a 14 year old PROVEN, capable, and competent platform, um you're good reliability wise (not that you wouldn't be otherwise lol). This rig will last until the year 2070, lol. Resale will always be top dollar.

That steering wheel looks nice. Is the 1794 the only Tundra with the wood trim? I don’t remember seeing it in the SR5 or TRD Pro.

Long live the wood steering wheel! Wish more sedans had the option.

its pretty much the tundra equivalent of the F150 King Ranch, Ram Laramie Longhorn, the country type interior styling

Gorgeous truck, JDR76! That color combination would certainly be my choice too.

Thank you! I truly can't believe how much I am enjoying it already. We are taking our first camping trip with it next week and I'm really excited for the drive, which is not something I usually say when pulling the trailer.

Awesome! I would have loved a TRD Pro, but availability was quite limited and markups were huge. They had a used 2020 on the lot for $72k!

Does your Pro have automatic climate control? That was another issue for me. The ones I could find didn't have automatic climate control, which may seem like a little thing but was hugely important for me. I think it's available on the TRD Pro, but maybe it isn't as I couldn't find one optioned that way.

Great choice. I had a 2013 (previous gen) Tundra with the 4.6 V8 and loved it. Replaced it with a 2019 F150 and regret doing so, although I have no real complaints with the Ford.

Yup I have the Auto Climate Control. Yeah the markups are insane now, I wish I had the parking sensors and power folding mirrors like you have.

We have a 2018 Limited Crewmax that we bought new in 2018. Now has almost 60,000 miles and still enjoying every minute of it and the V8. Super white Tundras are the fastest! Especially with the turn key ignition!

Excellent! Sounds like you got a great one!

Nice! I'm glad it's been a good truck for you. My brother in law is on his 4th and his have all been fantastic.

Mine has a pushbutton ignition, so maybe not as fast as yours. ;-) I believe that was added to the upper trim levels fro 2019.
