Well I traded in the 05 GX couple days ago. It was a good ride, just not me. Someone is going to be very happy when they bring it home though, 24K miles, 2005, looked like it just came off the showroom floor. (it's at Findlay Toyota if you want it)

I made the switch to a 11' Tundra TRD. MUCH more me, and oh yes, the power is fun. Fairwell, these are great rides and will admire from afar...

Here's the new Toy...

The power this thing has is nuts. I feel like a big boy now! I have not towed anything with it yet and really all I have is a couple of jetskis that amount to about 2K pounds. It rides FANTASTIC! It's rougher than the GX but much more sporty. It's big! I was surprised that it sits over other full size trucks.

A bit later in life, next year, I'm going to throw a three inch lift at it but for now I'm just going to enjoy it. Got the Line X done today and may put some side steps on for the wifey.

I LOVE it. I miiiiiiight reccomend the crewmax but the double cab works with the baby seat just fine. In fact, took it up into the mountain yesterday with baby seat, two adults in the back and us up front. Made short work of all the hills and got 16MPG. heck, it's almost a hybrid! Haha.

Congratulations on your new Tundra. Yeah, 5.7 liters is BIG stuff. 0 - 60 in under 7 seconds! Regular gas! Have fun! Thanks for your contributions to the GX fourm!
