I was a chevy guy from day one. The cards were stacked against me from the beginning. Hispanic, 4th generation plumber, and an old school codger by the time I was 10 years old.
In 46 years I have owned 3 chevy trucks each well over 100K, ( one the stepson has just passed 450K, same engine and tranny, V6 manual) one Ford f-150 that I will not talk about for my shame. After owning all this and in the market for a new truck, for some reason I was curious over a Toyota. I guess Froyd might say I was looking for a new girl? I sure found one.

It took a lot for me not to worship to Detroit ( you know, the birthplace of the Chevy) one year, So I took the plunge and tried on a Tundra for size. WOW, I've had the truck for 3 years now and the honeymoon is still on. This thing is TIGHT, hubba, hubba! Runs like a bat out of hell and don't talk back. I love my Tundra! No problems at all after 30K miles, still smells like new. Way to go Toyota.

Well that and I'm a little color blind.

Nice truck! I'm waiting on my wife to go pick up my new 5.7 RC Short Bed now. I'm giving up a03 Dakota RC AWD 4.7 which is the best handling truck I've ever driven. THis Tundra has alot to live up too. It has about 50% more power, so I assume it'll pull my horsetrailers and flat bed with less strain. I'm apprehensive about the handling.
