    Picked up my 2023 Supersonic Red Capstone last Saturday and coming from a 2007 Limited 4x4 that I purchased new, what a difference. The ride is very luxury like and not much different that the 2023 Lexus RX 350 Luxury we just purchased. Lot of tech to learn. Only options installed were AVS, bed extender, bed liner, & cat shield protection. It goes in Monday for PPF, window tint, & ceramic coating. Paragon Limited HDX cover ordered. Still need mud flaps & bed rug.

    IMG_2333.jpg That is a beautiful truck you have there! We couldn’t be happier with ours. Found the mud flaps on Amazon for less than $60.

    The noise level is as quiet as our Lexus RX 350, I was quite surprised.

    My wife says my 1794 is smoother and quieter than her 2020 RX 350. I would say the ride is comparable, truck is quieter. Bad part is she wants to take the truck every where

    With the price of used cars, maybe replace the RX with her own Tundra....

    Nice truck! For whatever reason, the new Tundras seem to sit lower to the ground. Maybe I’m imaging it but everyone I see looks low.

    Nice Truck!!!!

    I would cancel that order on the Paragon. Mine was a complete disappointment other than cost.

    Off topic: Did Toyo ever fix the road noise issue from the rear on the RX350? That issue was introduced in gen 1 when they moved spare tire from inside to under rear deck. I had a 2009 that was quite loud. Everyone I road in up to a 2018 model had the roar from the rear wheels.

    2023 RX spare is full size and located under the rear deck cover and have not experienced any noise from that area.

    Rollers broke off, construction is light duty, and you will absolutely love it when something in the bed slides up to the cab and the cover won't open. Then you get to army crawl to get it. Make sure you tie everything down.

    I finally went with the Retrax XR pro.

    Thank You for the feedback. I don't haul much and have always keep a rod with a bent hook on the end for exactly what you mentioned. Which model did you have? I ordered the Limited HDx for the better hardware and finish.

    Oh, and the lanyard to pull the cover back is about as ghetto as it gets.

    If you keep it closed most of the time, don't care about security at all, and don't use the bed much...this is the tonneau for you.

    The spare was moved during gen 1 and Toyo botched it badly. My salesman was an original Lexus salesmen from early 90s
    and lost a lots of repeat buyers from issue. New 2018 my realtor had it was still there from riding in back seat

    Hopefully they did fix it. Wife loved her 350 but the road roar drove me nuts so we sold it. She is due a new vehicle next year and would consider RX is they finally fixed that problem.

    They sent new hardware ASAP and directions to fix it, but it's just sitting in my garage.

    Sharp color and all the best with her,I'm guessing that TT weighs close to 7,400 dry & I'll bet she towed that Condo on wheels with ease... Nothing wrong with glamping in style.
    these trucks have plenty of balls (even the Lux tuck edition) @ 10,340# Tow cap.
    Not jacking your glory but just adding comment to the Capstone profile.
    After waiting 3.5 grooling months for my Cap it arrived two weeks ago and couldn't be more pleased with everything it has to offer.The technology is kinda like a new cell phone there is so much to learn on it it's like ya need a couple of night classes just to get acclimated to all of it's potential.
    I ordered mine in Wind chill pearl w/ the AVS, BSM tow mirrors,undercarriage Waxoil protectant & factory spray bedliner.Two day's into having it I installed Magna Flow cat back P# 19603,K&N CAI Gator retractable/locking bed cover #G61860 and EGR rain guards and tomorrow she has an appointment for the front windows to get some love...
    I feel that it's quick out of the gate for a 6K# truck and feels like driving the living room sofa when it's in comfort mode,but so far and over all, I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase and will hope that it will stand true to the Toyota creed of a quality crafted product. Time will only tell though...

    The pictures you uploaded are waaaaay better than mine,these are just of the front yard getting a face lift and both trucks are loaded up with rotodendruns....
    Any how all the best and good luck with the new beast!

    Nice rig and Wind Chill Pearl was my second choice. One thing we don't have to worry about is coating the undercarriage in Texas. My 2007 Limited looked like new under neath after 75K miles.

    750 miles on mine now. The fully adjustable seats are super comfortable. I traded my 09 Tacoma for this Tundra. A lot to learn. Oh and put your foot in it and it will really hold you back in the seat!
    I never had a Lexus, so I will say it rides like the proverable Cadilac. This is the quietest (inside cab) of any vehicle I have ever ridden in.
    So far extremely pleased.
