Two of the issues we had to resolve when making the decision to purchase a new truck were:
1) our eldest son is pushing 6'1"
2) we require occassional ability to tow about 8000lbs trailer (total weight not dry weight).
We went though our options. Lease/buy, gm/ford/dodge and toyota. We don't have a local nissan dealer or we would have looked at them too.
Toyota had the only 1/2 ton that we would have trusted to do the job. To get the same level of reliability etc from the other 3, I would have had to go to a 250/2500 type chassis, and increase the costs significantly (forcing us to go used actually).
So, we signed the papers on a new tundra on saturday. My son helped pick out the colors and package.
We bought the folding tonneau, the side step bars and the hood deflector. We're looking forward to delivery day.
And yes, I know no one will believe me until I post pics... they will be forthcoming!
