    Thursday night, finally found a 2025 Tundra Limited in Lunar Rock loaded with the Blackout Package. It just came off the truck with 4 miles and after 60 minutes of pissing back and forth, saved a chunk of change and used the Toyota 2.99% for 72 months to wrap things up. Dealer tossed in wheel, tire cand windshield coverage, ceramic coating and a 20% tint, which goes on Thursday. Out the door, came in at a tad above $60k with $6,200 saved and TTL.

    Compared to my other 2 Gen Tundras, there are pro’s and cons. I miss the V8, but the twin turbo sounds solid with V6. Will be adding a Flowmaster Cat-Back exhaust for more growl and adding a 3in lift in the near future. My 2025 has a ton more plastic to it which is a bit disappointing, but damn, the ride is smooth and quiet. The Navi unit is the size of a big screen and seems a bit too big, but for my blind arse wife, it makes things stand out so I only hear 12 technology questions per ride.

    Love the pano sunroof and the front end torque and praying Toyota has these engine issues solved. One of my Gen 2’s was ‘lemon pawed’ because there was no undercoating applied to the bed and that process took a lifetime to get resolved but was eventually replaced. One experience is enough.

    Overall, excited as hell but Pandora’s box has been opened and I have quite a few upgrade on the horizon:
    • Wheels and Tires
    • Tonneau Cover
    • Flowmaster Exhaust
    • 3in Lift
    • Tint
    • Console Safe for my Glock 43X Mos
    • Front and Rear Dash Cams
    • Front Grille Lunar Rock Letters
    The money pit has been opened and I love it!

    Shout out to Swickard Toyota in Edmonds, Washington. Amazing service, zero pressure and willing to negotiate. My salesman Steve, even bought my son lunch as we waited for detail. Not to mention, we found a few gifts in the Tundra on the way home. Keychains, Hats and Shirts. Huge kudos to Swickard Toyota.

    Nice and congrats with her!
    I felt the same about missing the V8 but with the sound of the TT it's a good trade off.
    Plus the HP is more to and try it in Tow+ :burnrubber:
    On day 2 of ownership I swapped out the exhaust with Magna Flo Street Series cat back,it's never going to sound like an 8 but more like an exotic sports car.

    Free shirt and hat? Congrats my dealer would have taken out a mint if it was left under the seat.
