Yeah you are right, I've only had this Tacoma for 13 months. Changing it out for another truck isn't my smartest decision but I'm really looking forward to more interior space. Also, my Tacoma is a manual and it's a pain driving it in traffic and off road.
I'm still on the fence and I'm considering other full size trucks but we will see what I end up with. Depending on how much all this will cost I may keep the Tacoma.
Well don't go taking Tundra's for a test drive then. The power is intoxicating. I used to drive an Xterra (which I really liked) and after having the Tundra (and Hawk) for over a year now, there is no way on this earth I'd go back to any "mid-size" truck. The interior space to stretch out, the power on hand, the stability in winds and when pulling out to pass big trucks, the power, less of a need to weigh and consider every power robbing pound added in the camper, the power of the 5.7V8.......did I mention the power yet?
On our 3 week trip North to Tuk last July we averaged 12mpg with a very fully loaded truck and camper. That was fine by me, especially after watching a few Lifestyle Overland videos and the way worse mileage they were getting on the same trip with a 4Runner towing an overland trailer.
Full size is just a no-brainer for me. So far I haven't found too many off-road tight places I can't force the Tundra in, and the on road manners and interior comfort are just perfect.
