Default Just got a new truck :)

Just purchased a brand new 2011 Tundra dbl cab with 8ft bed looking into 20ft enclosed trailer so that I won t have to worry about traveling up north to attend shows and meets as we know the GS has some tiny rubber with a hell a stretch. I just had the side tool boxes and nerf bars installed today, and ordered my 3/1 leveling kit from FAT BOBS GARAGE. I ll be putting 20inch KMC Monsters matte black with 33 inch Nitto trail grapplers. heres a pic

Nice purchase, congrats..Jason...are you in the construction line of work?

I'm all about diesel trucks (sig) when it comes to towing; just because of the brute power and mpg, but that's just me. If the tundra came in a 3/4 or 1 ton pick-up w/a diesel engine I'd already have one.

I didn t want another Ford or Chevy and def not a Dodge, imo american vehicle are just made cheap I really was feeling the Tundra this ***** is fast too, its also rated to pull 9800lbs the car and trailer are under 7000 so she ll do just fine. and Im a carpenter been doing it for 13 years just found a trailer too 20x 8.5 2005 with low miles and clean as hell for a great price hope to have it by the weekend

The tundra is the fastest na 1/2 ton pick up in it's league...hell slap on a trd sc and be even faster...

I had a tundra, titan, 2002 f250 PSD, 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 CTD, 2006 F250 Dually PSD and now my 2010 F250 PSD... I agree that american trucks are built cheaply; but there isn't a Japanesse truck maker out there that has yet to make a "diesel" truck. The day they do, I"ll be getting one. Nothing tows like a diesel, heck I cruise at 70 mpg w/y trailer w/the supra in the back and it doesn't even feel like anything's back there.
