From a long line of GM buyers. My wife and I defected from GM in the early 2000s due to a series of bad experiences with our personal vehicles. For farm trucks, my dad is bitterly clinging to Chevy, in spite of them sucking.
I have refused to have a truck as a daily driver for years, but after spending some time in a Tundra and Ram recently I started to come around.
I was initially committed to finding a used 2021, or older, Tundra Platinum. Didn't want to experiment with their new twin turbo V6. But it seems the problems with the newest Tundras have turned the older ones into solid gold. Nothing around here to be found, unless you want one with over 100K on it.
We had been shopping for a car for the wife late last year, after she smoked a deer, and I mentioned to the salesman at our local Lexus dealer that I was looking for a Tundra. He called last week and said, it's not a Tundra, but I just took in a really nice truck on trade. 2021 Limited Night Edition with 59K miles.
It has a few more miles than I was planning on and the dash has the beginnings of bubbles under it, but I really liked it. Closer to driving an S class Mercedes than any truck I've ever been in.
Picked it up last Friday. Since then we've had over a foot of snow and 30+MPH wind. I have just put it in 4Auto and let her eat. Our rural road gets pretty drifted and I haven't even been nervous yet. I thought my Audi A6 on Blizzaks was the ultimate winter ride, I was wrong. Even drove it back the lane to our woods to cut firewood last Sunday. With the air suspension raised all the way up she'll go through some DEEP drifts.
