Congratulations! Like the color and style. P/Us have gotten huge over time. Every now and then I miss my 1996 F150 and 2001 F150.
ICE powertrainDoes your new Tundra have the ICE powertrain or is it Hybrid?
Indeed, no brush guards in my future. I had a Titan once upon a time and I was able to get it in the garage with a brush guard. Not the case with this truck though.That's a tight fit.
I suppose a future brush guard is out of the question?
: )
Just be prepared to walk away. I had a printed offer in hand from Chevrolet (got earlier in the day on a truck I didn't really want) that I used as leverage. I also had the buyout offer from Carmax in hand. I told them the terms I needed, and politely said that if they can't do it, that's OK and I'll just leave. First offer I received wasn't close, so I got my old keys back (they still had them from their appraisal, their trick to keep you there), and just said thanks for your time. They said 'Hold On, Hold On' let me see if we can do better, which of course most of the time they can. After I got the rate I wanted, I just squeezed out everything else that I can (extra protections for interior, extended warranty (8 years), etc. before agreeing to the deal. In total, negotiations took about 45 minutes.Congrats @thor447 ! Beautiful truck! Next time I'm ready to trade (if ever), I want you to do my negotiating!
With earth's gravity in play, when you have a full tank of fuel and keg of beer in the back seat it will not fit. The extra weight allows the frame to increase in lengthThat's good to hear. A friend of mine has a 2019 or 2020 that has been put through a lot and is still going strong. They seem like well made trucks.
I knew whatever I ended up getting would need to fit in the garage in the case of a hail storm, etc. Knowing the depth in my garage, when looking at the dimensions of this pickup, it showed to be 233.6 inches in total length. My garage measures 233-7/8". That was far too close for comfort, so before I agreed to purchase I told them I had to confirm that it would fit in my garage. They let me take it home. Here's the results. The back is no more than 1/4 from the wall, and I have barely any room up front, but it does fit!

At least I know I'll be able to put it inside before a hail storm or some severe weather event.
Damn! You're gonna need one of these.That's good to hear. A friend of mine has a 2019 or 2020 that has been put through a lot and is still going strong. They seem like well made trucks.
