The Tundra is absolutely bulletproof (like most Toyota's) and pulls a trailer or boat great. The Chevy 1500 isn't even close. It would be worth looking at an ecoboost though.
If OP does get a Tundra I'd get at least a 13-14.

Nice truck Ryan!
Even though I despise black lol.
Yea, thats about the mileage I get now with my 4rd gen 98 4Runner.
1" lift and 285/70 E rated tires. It's a gas vacuum and slow as molasses.
I figure I might as well get the power, and towing ability as I hope to get a boat/camper eventually.

It was my main reason for picking it in the first place, very much the opposite of a screw up if you ask me as it fits the mode of operation for most people who buy it, without giving up any real 4x4 capability.

Thanks for the feedback, it helps.
AWD +lift +big tires = very close to Tundra gas mileage.
Might as well get the power and towing ability to go with the low mileage lol.
Don't want AWD. I know how to drive, don't need it.
Rather have the fuel economy and ability to do donuts heheeh.
More geared for women if you ask me, for carrying the kids in bad weather etc, wife kids are grown and gone (mostly lol)
I would go with the 4th gen if I could find one to my specs, but that's harder then finding a 2010-2013 with my specs!
Also questionable if I could get that financed, not likely.
Domestic trucks are TERRIBLE compared to Toyota's. I sold new Rams recently, also retired mechanic for 20+ years. Domestics are JUNK imo.
They are only good for a HD Cummins TD+Allison trans for towing real big things.
I do like the looks of the newer GM trucks. And Ford trucks? If i wanted an aluminum can I'd go buy a Pepsi lmao. I have seen plenty of those trucks weak-ass frames and beds torn up. Total joke.
To each their own, but after what i've worked on and seen, personally, Toyota 4 life!

Yea Tundra rules over domestic 1500 trucks. Not even a discussion really lol.
See my previous post about Fords, and ecoboost? come on man, your loosing me! That engine is c.r.a.p.
No replacement for displacement. Turbo's are for my sports cars and Diesels lol.
Looking forward to getting a nice 20ish ft cuddy cabin boat in a few years give or take to pull behind my white Tundra once I find one!

To each their own my friend.
If it works for you, congrats.
I guess if it comes down to it, I will live with the AWD, just really prefer not to have that.
Different strokes and all that jazz!

Of course we all have our needs and wants. I see the Tundra being a very reliable truck and having a bed has huge perks as well, while not sacrificing the power and torque.

When I replaced my 04 limited, I bought a different trip package because I prefer 4WD to AWD. Just a personal preference

Poor passenger side crash tests compared to other pickups. So just make sure you are always driving.

How are you getting 10mpg in a 98 4runner with 33" tires? My fully caged 2001 Tacoma weighs 6,000lbs with a stock V6 on 40" tires and 1 ton axles gets 14mpg
