And you pre-ordered two with sequential VINs, one for you, and one for your husband.

Tundra was slated to be the T-150, as a successor to the T-100. But Ford stepped in and cock-blocked them because F-150. So it became Tundra.
Fun Fact.

That’s strange. Because both Chevy and Ram have the 1500 -2500 - 3500 designations.

I agree it's strange. And Ford had the F-100 back when. But it is what it is.

Drive one of these trucks and for a minute you think you are John Dutton.

Toyota, not to be outdone, has a TURD.

Awful looking trucks IMHO. I can’t speak to reliability or anything else, just that they look like a bag of smashed assholes.

I bought a new 2020 Tundra Limited and traded it in a few months. Absolutely the most soulless vehicle I’ve ever owned. I hated that truck.

That's what Toyota makes, soulless appliances, they had to outsource to BMW to attempt to re-make their exciting "supra light"

Tundras just serve as delivery platform for offering up expensive rare materials to catalytic converter thief's.

I agree. That's why I have an '05. After '07, they drank the gargoyle koolaid and got angular, huge, and thirsty. With tiny cargo beds. Useless for my needs.

My Tundra is the same length as the new Tacoma, but with much better seats, more power, more cargo space, no bling, and about 1/5 the price.

I know I'm late to the party but DAMN...looking at these truck prices I almost feel like a low-ender based on what I paid for the Benz.

Almost.

Back when we were kids 100 grand would get you a house, a new Chevrolet, and a decent retirement nest egg.

My young nephew and bride just bought a 20 year old townhouse and paid 400k.
I don’t know how this ends.

It ends like every other shiity run government: hyperinflation, which is GovCo theft of the common man's bank accounts. Then, riots in all major cities.
