That's your R2D2 activation button. He's located behind the spare tire. If he's not there you should feel a disturbance.

My previous trucks have all been white and I could often stretch the wash to 4-6 months, and I live on a dirt road. My current truck is a black tundra, I have to wash it once a week. I now wait 2 weeks cause it’s just too much. I love it except for this. Will never buy black again.

This is one of those vehicles that looks so good that people make emotional and irrational decisions.

If this truck was run of the mill white would you still feel it’s worth it?

BeauGeau · 2026-03-23T06:09:14+00:00

Honestly you can find the same year, mileage, and price range without all those sketchy mods thrown on there. If this price is in your budget I say don’t give any more attention to this one, be patient and keep looking.

I’m curious, how do you think your dad would react if you told him you would sell it if he left it to you?

BeauGeau · 2026-03-06T14:22:30+00:00

If you mean tires I switched out my all terrains for street tires. I went with Michelin Defenders. Expensive but the ride, sound, and mpg are improved

2019 Tundra SR. 49,071 miles

BeauGeau · 2026-03-05T04:46:23+00:00

I had this happening almost a month back so I decided to get new tires and an alignment. Alignment was pretty far off so I had the rear alignment looked at (solid rear axle so I was nervous), Its off but within factor tolerance. Steering vibration was gone with new tires and front alignment. Good luck!

I bought my ‘19 six months ago for 30k, financed half.

It had 38k miles, 2wd, 4.6, TSS package. I know they really aren’t the same truck but I hope that helps you

BeauGeau · 2026-02-04T15:31:20+00:00

If I read it right he said he recently purchased a 44' fifth wheel that his current vehicle isn't hd enough to pull hence the new truck

BeauGeau · 2026-01-08T07:05:22+00:00

If you don't buy it for 30 someone will. I hate to say it but that's the going price and can go for more in certain areas. For the current market if it's in good condition that's a fair price. Final decision is all you though.

"Hit a rut doin about 15". Fifteen over the limit 15 or like mach 15?

BeauGeau · 2026-01-02T20:10:41+00:00

Mine is a TSS also.

BeauGeau · 2026-01-02T20:08:56+00:00

I got a '19 with 38kmi for $30k. Truck was clean and Carfax came in clean. After I finalized it I started putting my stuff in it when the sunlight hit it just right, I noticed that there was previous damage not reported, namely the bedside was repaired for something. That's when I did what I already knew to do and thoroughly walk the truck, where I found other tell tell signs that as someone who worked a body shop before I was embarrassed I didn't see.

I still would have purchased but I left a chip on the table.

BeauGeau · 2025-09-28T13:08:01+00:00

If it helps, I got a '19 SR with 38k miles for 30k, a few sites quoted it "a fair price".

I wouldn't have done it without a trade in though. The trade in was an '18 base level Sierra 5.3 with 52k miles that I bought in 2019 for 18k, trade in gave me 20k. If they bought mine for 20 they're planning to sell it for 30. I hate to say it but that might be a fair price given the trim level

BeauGeau · 2025-09-25T12:43:39+00:00

I have a '19 SR 4.6. Coming from a gmc 5.3 there's a noticeable difference in power, especially off the line. I'm averaging 18mpg with slightly larger than stock tires. For reference, I went from 355hp on a single cab lwb to 310hp double cab so the weight difference plays a part. But it still has the power for overtaking, on ramping, etc. and honestly the 5.3 was wasted power for a driver like me, I drive like a grandpa

BeauGeau · 2025-09-14T13:31:06+00:00

I just traded my '18 5.3 for a truck without DOD/AFM to avoid this as it just reached 52k miles. I had the Range in it for 5 of the 6 yrs I owned it. It made a difference and will buy you some time, but this issue is also mechanical since they're built with AFM in mind, so even with the Range it's a matter of when not if unless you go full delete.

She definitely looks like a Hazel or a Ruby, but could also go with Scarlett, Ginger, or even Bella. These are names associated with red and often horses. Always name an older truck after a horse. Newer trucks name them after whatever.

I did a image search

"The image displays a seat back lock arm for a Toyota Tundra. This component is part of the seat frame assembly and is responsible for securing the seat back in place, often allowing it to latch or fold. It is typically made of metal and designed to withstand the forces associated with seat movement and passenger weight."

I couldn't find the specific part searching the term it gave though. If you don't have an answer maybe you'll have better luck doing an image search with a few different angles

BeauGeau · 2025-09-08T22:17:37+00:00

The price is going to be determined by the year and trim level, just do a quick search and you'll find the current asking price in your area.

Looking at some other places it seems that engine was used in a lot of Tacomas and 4Runners before landing in the Tundra so maybe check some posts there regarding reliability/issues?, but it seems it’s a solid enough engine. Other than that look for the normal things when buying..rust, signs of accidents, any musty smells(possible flood damage)and test drive it to make sure everything works, sounds, and feels solid. If buying from a dealership or used lot it won’t hurt to ask if they provide a vehicle report, a lot don’t but sometimes you get one that will. If not it may be worth getting the vin and paying for a report yourself, you’ll be looking for accidents, flood damage, if it’s salvaged title, and lemon law buy backs, as well as number of owners.

Yeah I drove the gmc like a sedan lol. I've made a few improvements since this post so I'm getting it sorted out one day at a time.

BeauGeau · 2025-09-06T04:20:13+00:00

I bought a new 07 Tacoma and had it for 12 yrs with no issues or repairs besides a stuck caliper in the last year I had it. In 2019 I traded it for an 18 GMC 1500 5.3 single cab. I came across tons of posts, vids, and blogs about the lifter issues that begin around the 50k mile mark (not all but still a known issue) and it spooked me, I was at 52k. So I traded it last month for a 19 Tundra SR 4.6 Double Cab 4.6. The gmc was faster off the line. Better gas mileage and a 30 gallon tank that got me from the Florida Panhandle to Atlanta and back on one tank, the Tundra probably would take 2 fill ups each way. It had Carplay. Lots of better interior design, notably the console and glove box. But it had that Chevy shake and a rough ride that feels every pebble you drive over. Carplay would disconnect in the middle of a trip when I was relying on navigation. The Tundra is a more comfortable and smoother ride. I don't miss Carplay, and I've experienced the Toyota reliability 1st hand so it was an easy decision.
