I am about to buy a new 4door pu truck. I have had suburban’s and Tahoe’s for the last 20yrs. I have always had very good luck with Chevys. With that being said, I really like the looks of the Tundras over the big boxy Chevys. Anyone have any big negatives with the Toyota’s?

I have a 2010 Tundra 4wd. Never had an issue in 190000 miles. But to repeat something I'm sure you've read or heard before, gas mileage is terrible, I probably average 15 mpg with mixed highway/city driving. Not an issue now, sure sucked when fuel was close to 4 dollars a gallon. All that said though, it's your decision and I bet you'd be happy with either the Tundra or the Chevy.Last edited by SamSowell; 08-20-2018, 08:13 PM.

Shane, good to see you back in here, thought about you today and thought it's been a long time since I noticed a post from you.
I too have had Chevy products for a long time and a Ford or Dodge company truck for 11 years. The Fords and Dodge were free but there was some maintenance, seemed like at 80-90K miles, it all started breaking. The Chevys pulled boats all over and each one racked up about 150-170K miles with no issues.
I have a Tundra now that I bought for myself and I love it. I have a bed cover, which is a must in my opinion with our kids being involved in ball year round, lol. The back seat is huge and that is why I went the Tundra route. Pulling my boat, yes, the gas mileage sucks but I am driving 90 miles to the lake, you're right there. To me, in your case, that's a non issue. I do have the 4.6 Liter engine and no 4WD and it does fine for me. I like the look of the bigger jacked up models but I don't have a need for that.
I don't think you would be disappointed with a Tundra. There's a guide on TBend that has a hook up too, maybe he could help you out?
