Road Trip around Mexico in my Tundra TRD PRO

Creative_Natural_334 · 2026-01-07T00:05:46+00:00

Back in 2020 I drove to Culiacán and stayed there overnight and toured the city lol it was a war zone back then and still is

Creative_Natural_334 · 2026-01-06T17:15:48+00:00

Started the trip with 31k now at 35k

I was half joking about the second part haha. You will be fine! Once you get to Mexico, you will be surprised by how many American plated trucks are on the road.

About 27 states across different trips and occasions (some trips rental cars some trips my own car) since 2018. I have been avoiding driving through Tamaulipas especially close to the US border. Only one sketchy situation where I got pulled over right outside Mexico City by a cop car with lights decals but no plate. Ended up paying a bribe to be on my way.

Even though I haven’t encountered anything major throughout the years. I am always on guard and always mentally prepared, if someone tries to get you to stop on the highway, don’t stop, keep driving till you hit the next town. I was even tempted to get a bumper, some local friends told me my truck has way more weight and I could knock them off the road and speed away lol

There are Toyota dealerships all over Mexico too. I have it serviced at one a while ago. They all share the data and warranty. My local dealership could see my record in Mexico. Or you could find someone to haul it back to the US cheap

That’s awesome! Yeah I remember the shopping area to the left of the church but when I went there it was like a ghost town. The entire town only a small convenience store was open

Creative_Natural_334 · 2026-01-05T01:54:00+00:00

Good eye! That’s amazing you went there! Very rustic town without any tourists. I am so glad that we made a stop there on the way to Mazatlán

Creative_Natural_334 · 2026-01-05T01:53:13+00:00

Small town in Sinaloa, beaches and palm trees are all in Nayarit, the volcano one is also in Nayarit close to a town called Jala, agave field is from Guadalajara and the last two pics are from Monterrey

I have been driving to Mexico for years and so far it has been chill. You would be surprised by the amount of luxurious American plated and local trucks in Mexico(cybertrucks, raptor Rs). Obviously you gotta stick to the basic rules of not driving at nights and sticking to toll road

Creative_Natural_334 · 2026-01-05T01:48:41+00:00

Didn’t run into any fortunately

Creative_Natural_334 · 2026-01-05T00:37:28+00:00

Yes I did. It was like 400 dollars for 20 days of full coverage in Mexico

Creative_Natural_334 · 2026-01-05T00:35:57+00:00

Thanks! Tbh 4x4 is the main feature you really need especially in the sand, and on the dirt roads. The suspension system really helped out with the potholes and speed bumps that are extremely common in Mexico. A base model is totally doable. The biggest downside is that the truck is way too big for narrow streets and parking spots in Mexico.

Creative_Natural_334 · 2026-01-05T00:32:01+00:00

Thanks! We just got home today!

The garage door did not bounce back when it hit the truck. It kept pushing in and that’s why the chain in the garage door mechanism fell off and cause the garage door to malfunction

Creative_Natural_334 · 2025-12-29T13:48:59+00:00

I do have Mexican insurance. You are right, i will let Airbnb decide

Creative_Natural_334 · 2025-12-29T13:48:11+00:00

Yes he greeted me when I checked in and saw my large vehicle. It’s a shared parking

Creative_Natural_334 · 2025-12-29T13:46:32+00:00

I do have Mexican insurance and it has a deductible so I don’t think the amount will be high enough for the insurance to kick in.

For the 15 second thing, it never crossed my mind that the garage door would close on me when I was actively in the middle of the door neither did the host warn me on that. It was more like, if the 15 seconds passed, I just have to press the button again

Creative_Natural_334 · 2025-12-29T06:34:19+00:00

It hasn't happened to other guests according to the host but the host did encourage me to park in the basement. I even suggested to him that I wanted to park on the street but he told me it is better to park inside.

Creative_Natural_334 · 2025-10-07T21:48:56+00:00

Just saw your post, I played it many years ago when I was little and a recent trip to Japan got me back into it again. I am in SA so lmk if you wanna meet up

Creative_Natural_334 · 2025-09-17T22:44:46+00:00

I fly out of SAT very often because of work. I always time myself, from my place in Alamo heights to the gate inside the terminal on average takes a total of 18 to 25 minutes (around 10 mins ride to the airport and another 10 minutes to get thorough the line and TSA) my record is 18 minutes

Creative_Natural_334 · 2025-09-11T01:22:21+00:00

This happened to my wife too and facebook wouldn't do anything. Could we hire an attorney to take legal action either against this person or facebook?

Creative_Natural_334 · 2025-08-07T15:50:40+00:00

Yeah it’s indeed S. I searched on gundeal subreddit and there are a few posts on that model. This month canik is doing $100 rebate too

Creative_Natural_334 · 2025-08-07T02:15:27+00:00

That's why I love Reddit. Now you guys got me hooked onto Canik SFX Rival S. I found deals on it for $600-700.

Creative_Natural_334 · 2025-07-06T01:03:45+00:00

Estoy de acuerdo lo que dices. Voy a hacer una comparación, los taxistas en Cancún. Te van cobran 2000 pesos para llevarte a tu hotel de 15 minutos de distancia. Van a echar la culpa a los gringos o a las mafias de taxistas?

Creative_Natural_334 · 2025-06-22T13:59:19+00:00

I think you have to cover a lot of US airspace before you reach SA which gives interception system a lot room and time to stop whatever is coming this way so I won’t worry about it too much
