I ordered a Tundra Platinum in June of 2021 with every available factory option including the Windchill Pearl color. When ordering that pearl white it forced all other available options of the factory running boards, the sunroof and the spray in bed liner. All that came standard once you chose that color. My truck arrived at the dealer in August of 2021. The truck currently has about 45,500 miles on it. This is the first new vehicle I owned that never had one single warranty issue with it. I use it to pull my 7,000 lb camper all over the US. I love my Tundra and got a lot of truck for the money. If I recall I paid just under $57,000 in 2021. When I ordered the truck my intent was for its resale potential and bullet proof reliability. So far it has delivered on its promise.

ANDRE! I am THRILLED to death for you on this purchase! Toyota! V8! I cannot say enough adjectives to express how cool this is! Dead serious, I would have never thought you would have bought a used anything at this point. However, for every single reason you have for buying this, I am on board with you! I agree 100% with this! This is going to make you so happy on so many levels! Your family as well. Big thumbs up! 👍

[@manuelguzmanjr6622]

I feel you got a great deal, nice looking truck, v8 power, no messing with turbo's and perhaps reliability as well. Congratulations!

You made the right choice Andre, great looking truck! Th Son has a V-8 Tundra and he loves it. Lots of power in that truck, congrats!!!

2020 CC TRD OR 4wd here…I went from a 2015 Silverado 1500 4wd to my tundra and have never looked back. I LOVE my tundra and especially the peace of mind I have knowing that it is reliable. I tried really hard to find Voodoo blue cuz it was my favorite color too, but I settled for black. Congrats on the truck Andre, enjoy it!!

[@luisreviews6412]

Says a lot about someone who gets to drive all sorts of trucks. 2018 Tundra Limited is perfect for our family & dog. Lots of room, tows well and a V8! We are down the street from Plano as well.

[@anthonymrskipt9252]

Voodoo Blue is definitely one of the best colors ever. That V8 is pretty much the same as the one I had in my LC200 and it is a great engine. Terrible mileage, but should last longer than you’ll keep this truck if you take care of it. Well done Andre!

Congratulations Andre. That was the right decision! Great color, great car. I hope we see more of this.

I have a 18’ 1794 Edition Tundra I bought last year! 4x4 and some bells and whistles and love it! So cool we have something in common now and it will be so reliable!

My truck caught fire while I was driving it. Burned to the ground...damn. Only had it for 25 years. So I bought a 16 Tundra. Should be my last truck. Best case scenario is having to let it go because I cant get in and out of it any longer.

I have a similar story but with a 2023 Powerboost F150 king ranch and a 2021 Chevy silverado Trailboss with the 5.3L like your red one! I had nothing but problems on the Ford and I took a step back to a more simple 5.3L V8 LT Trailboss and have never looked back! You're going to love owning that older, bigger, V8 truck!

[@token4874]

Best investment he could have made in my opinion as a 2021 CREWMAX Cavalry Blue TRD Off-Road Limited edition owner. He shouldn't have engine problems in theory, but don't forget Andre, you have 4.30 axle ratio !! Prepare for the Tow Haul grunt!! Congratulations!!

[@Jay-me7gw]

The 4.30 axle ratio is just to make up for the ridiculously tall gear ratios in the Tundra transmission. The first gear was 3.333:1 Ford and GM 6 speeds were >4.0:1 first gear. The ford was 4.17:1. Literally the 4.30’s in the tundra are equivalent to 3.43:1 axles in an F150. I specifically did not buy a 2007-2015 Toyota Land Cruiser with the same 6 speed because of how bad the transmission ratios are.

@@DirtE30 Toyota has done some harsh testing on these and so did TFL. They’re completely fine without it. I would trust engineers before I trust someone on the internet

[@dwightvoeks9970]

@@DirtE30 I learned that the hard way.

[@syrindark]

@@Dsrterra Have to remember engineers aren't the people making the final say. If Toyotas goal is to cut costs or reduce a standard that's just what will happen and that was the reason for them to remove it. Personally I add a cooler to pretty much every transmission on a truck that I get especially if I intend to tow with it, heat is a transmissions worst enemy.

I as well went for the Last V8 Tundra. I got a a 2021 Voodoo Blue. I am gladly taking poor gas milage for a great, relatable truck. I had to do lifters in my Yukon 6.2L Denali with a full playlist of other problems it had. Luckily my Tundra was from the desert with no rust. 19k miles

I absolutely love that color- the snorkel, not so much. Can't blame you a bit for wanting to divest of that Colorado. I have a '19 ZR2 and really though I wanted a '24 Trail Boss- until I drove it. I'll give it this- the seats are far more comfortable than the ones in my '19, but that's about it for me.

Actuaries set the age / mileage profile for certification candidates, based on estimated warranty cost runout versus certification markup as income. That’s it.

With CPOs, you’re not getting better cars. You’re just paying more for OEM warranty.
