Topic: New to Me Tundra

Thanks Flinter, it will come in handy.  Congrats on your new ride also.  No doubt, I would far rather be tooling around in your wheels than mine, but the truck has a purpose.  And it can be fun.  I'll just have to take my two young boys with me, find a big mudhole, and get her dirty!

It's always a tough call with vehicles. Smaller sporty cars are loads of fun but as you say, the truck has a purpose. Outside of the practical applications around the house, it can be fun all by itself (ie. mudholes, snow drifts ), and it also can enable loads of fun by towing or carting around your other toys (ie. boats, motorcycles, dirt bikes, snowmobiles, track cars).

Update on the "firm ride".  One thing I overlooked was the tire pressure.  I hadn't checked to see if they were overinflated.  I know, I know, its something I should have done soon as I got the truck home.  Not surprisingly, all 4 tires were inflated to 50psi  .  Ouch.  I lowered them down to spec and the ride is noticeably softer, of course.  Another thing I noticed is that the tires on it are Toyo Open Country A/T, Load Range E.  That load range is totally overkill for my requirements, so once they are wore out, I'm sure whatever I replace them with will improve the ride even further.
