New R-Pod 179 Owner

Re milk in the carton:  Please note I did not say bring a carton of milk; only the milk carton.    The newer plastic milk bottles don't work so well.  

After spending hours upon hours researching, reviewing, and test driving vehicles, we decided our new TV is a 2014 Tundra 2WD SR5 Crewmax 5.7L V8 DOHC 32V.  Max towing is 10,100 so we have plenty of truck.  Buying from a private seller and everything has checked out i.e. VIN check, Carfax, etc.  It's silver and will complement our 10th Anniversary grey-colored 179.  

Just wasn't feeling comfortable with the prospect of towing it on long trips with the DW's Jeep Cherokee even with the 4,500 pound towing capacity.  Was initially leaning towards a Nissan Titan XD Diesel but I feel comfortable with the Tundra and especially since it uses regular gas!  

Will post a picture when I get it.

Lots of folks buy diesels because they think they will be getting better fuel economy and then find out that because of the higher cost of diesel they're not. The newer diesel pollution controls have issues too. I think you'll be happy with your choice. 

offgrid, first time I've owned a Toyota truck.  I've had two Fords (F-150 and F-450) and then a Chevy Silverado.  Thought that if I got a Diesel, it would last a long time.  But the way I go through vehicles, the gas engine works just as well and easier to take care of.  I was impressed with the 10,000 pound towing capacity for the $$ I'm paying.  Hopefully, I'll keep this truck longer than the others.    

Still have the DW's Jeep (now with a hitch) and my daily driver is a 2012 Caddy CTS.  I work in downtown Washington, DC and park in a garage, so the Caddy works just fine as a daily driver.
