Bought my Tundra 5.7 new in '07, still runs great with 165K. Need to replace the bumpers. How far south does a fella have to travel before he can find used bumpers in good shape? Only problem so far was a crapped out starter all these years.
SIL bought a new Tundra last year. All the bells and whistles. What a nightmare. Toyota just bought it back under lemon law. Big recall on the newer Tundras metal shavings in the motors.

An outfit called Move sells kits to build your own steel bumpers, they’re all pre cut, all you have to do is weld it together and paint it whatever color you want. I have a couple, they come out nice and they cost less than half what I bought my ranch hand for thanks https://www.movebumpers.com/

They’re a good bumper and they’re real simple to weld up and install.

Looking to buy a 2025 gmc work truck . They come with a 2.7L turbomax engine has any body had and good luck with the 2.7L , I won't be hauling and big loads just normal things. So would like the good and bad news about the truck with the small engine. Thanks Larry I bought my first GMC last year for my daily driver. I have liked it quite a bit. I however screwed up and bought gasoline. It needs premium and it gets pricey to fill up! Wish I would have bought the diesel.

I lost interest in Toyota when they stopped offering a standard transmission. I realize they’ve all gone that direction, but I really thought Toyota would be the hold out. 2018 was the last year dodge offered one, it’s been a custom order thing from ford and Chevy for awhile now. To my knowledge Toyota and Jeep are the only ones currently offering a standard transmission in a pickup. Not sure where your info on Toyota came from, but they do still offer a standard transmission. Only in the full four door, not in the extended cab (possibly on special order, but it isn't listed and you aren't going to find an extended cab on a lot with one) but it is offered. I keep thinking I should buy me a new one before they quit making them.

I haven’t specifically inquired about one, but they used to all be a standard transmission, and the last time I was down south I was poking around a dealership, and I stuck my head into 100 different Toyota pickups and didn’t find a 3rd pedal in any of them

I still have my 2015 f150. Aluminum body looks great. 2.7 ecoboost still getting 20mpg around town and 33.5 highway. Have pulled a 20x8 cargo trailer (4k lbs empty) fully loaded from ohio to Arkansas the last couple years. No problems. Love this truck.
