Toyota Tundra

[ryanabrams]

I'm seeking input regarding the 2011 Toyota Tundra, 4.6L V8 truck. Or just about truck ownership in general.

What are the hidden gotchas (besides the obvious MPG issue)? What are the hidden benefits? Do you have any experience with Tundras, Toyotas, or Trucks in general?

I'm in the market in the near future, and I want to make sure I've done my due diligence.

Thanks.

#1: My dad is mostly just likely to give me a hard time about owning a truck in the first place. I fully expect a pair of boots for Christmas. Or maybe a gun rack. But your story sounds better. ;P

#2: I'm definitely looking at automatic. Manual is a lot of fun in the mini, as a little sports car. But the feel wouldn't be the same in a truck, so I'll go for the convenience.

#3/4: I definitely expect to be asked to help people move. I suppose that's the nature of it. But considering how many people have helped me move in the past, I'm happy to return the favor. I didn't even think about the ditch/beach thing. I'm guessing that the first few times, I'll enjoy being able to help. But if that ends up being frequent (which seems unlikely), I'd probably get cranky about it. So, fingers crossed there.

Good tips. Thanks!

Also, being otherwise out of the loop, I'll take this opportunity to say that I hope you're doing well.
