Last month I said bye bye to my Dodge and slid back into my preferred Toyota.

This is a 2007 Tundra with a CrewMax Cab. It has a 5.7 liter motor with 381 Horsepower and 401 lb of Torque. I can tow 10,100 #'s. :omg: Time to start looking for a bigger trailer.
What really sold me on this particular one was the CrewMax cab. I did loose some length in the bed (5'5" bed -vs- 6') but I think I'd rather have the room in the cab then the bed. I have a utility trailer when I want to haul long stuff.
Since this truck has such high tow rating I have a Class IV hitch, not a Class III hitch. The big difference.....I needed to get a new pin for all of my hitches. The receiver is made from thicker steel so the typical pin I had for all of my other hitches was barely long enough. So I bought a new longer pin. It really puzzled me why I would need a longer pin until I realized it was a different class hitch.
MPG is 14 around town but unlike my last truck, I do see an increase on the highway. And when I towed my TT to the Spring Opener I only went down to 12.5.....I can live with these numbers.
This is my 5th Toyota....I'm in my happy place.

No, I met Brooks....I kept on wanting to ask if he had a sparrow for a pet (Brooks was the old librarian from the Shawshank redemption, who had a sparrow for a pet)
