I've lived and died for GM trucks my whole life. One day when we went to the Toyota dealer to drive a PRIUS for my wife I decided to drive a tundra to see if all the commercials were true. It blew my fricking mind that a truck could be that awesome factory stock. I couldn't believe how fast the truck was, so on the way home I drove another 1500 CCSB to make sure I wasn't dreaming. It felt like I was driving a wet rag compared to the tundra. Plus the damn thing gets just as good economy as the GMC/Chevy.
I've spent the last two weeks trying to justify buying a tundra. The truck I have is perfectly fine but I can't stop thinking about how awesome that truck is.
Relief from oil will come soon, we are going to get a kick in the ass for a while but it can't last. If it did our economy would flop on it's face before this fall. Plus you can't tell me that every tom, dick and harry isn't trying to pump crude as fast as they can at $120 + per barrel oil. They're own greed will deflate prices.
Lastly to have a truck that can do everything that the tundra does and be able to average 15mpg + in town is a gift. My 6.0L GMC is 11.5 in town, I'm spending $1,200 more in fuel per year than you.
Great posts with the economy, keep them coming.

No post in any thread has made me want to jump into a new Tundra purchase more than this post, OU812, Great testimonial!!-- Did you get one, or are you still deciding?
I'm still on the fence, but I feel like I'm starting to tip towards a Tundra.
