Hey guys, new member here. I have been interested in the 2013 ES350 since I first saw pictures of it for the first time. But...... I love my truck too much right now to trade (2010 Tacoma TRD Sport V6). So,I want to hang out here and get to know more about the car before I make an official decision.
Thanks

Welcome - come on now - you can always use another vehicle, can't ya? Just think - you could split the miles between them!

I wish. But 2010 camry took up the last spot in my garage So that means one has to be parked outside in the driveway if I get the ES350 and I'm not very comfortable with that.

Hey another truck owner, nice. Actually I'm looking to trade my Tundra for ES300h since I only get 15 mpg and been driving too much recently.

Do you have the 5.7 or the 4.6? I want the new Platinum Crewmax 5.7 but don't want to drive another truck so that's why I'm thinking of the ES350.

I had the 5.7, great truck loved driving it, but 14.6 mpg was like throwing money away. Just picked up the ES300h today and loving it.

Congrats on the the new car! It must be huge difference switching from a 5.7 V8 to 2.5 4 cylinder.
