Yessss. So tell me why it wouldn't make perfect sense to get another Tundra.
Sorry, I misread your intent, thought you were wondering why he did not elect to keep the exact Tundra he has.
As for why to not get another Tundra:
-thin paint
-no auto up/down on windows
-no part time 4x4 setting
-no mechanical LSD, only electronic (can wear brakes faster)
-heavy
-"only" a six speed auto
-4.6 isn't that great, the 5.7 isn't class leading either
-batteries are known to leak
-low mpg
-low payload rating
-steering rack failures
-diff failures
-water pump failures
-bearing failures (wheel bearing)
-bumpers with rust issues
-historic Toyota rust issues
-dated dash layout (looking at old not 2014 model)
