Hello

Just starting to look at a new Tundra to replace my 2006. Looking for more info on the new one.

You will obviously wanna start with color, body style, and motor size. Do a search and you will find more than enough info here! Welcome to the site!

Thanks.

I would go with a DC for sure. I need the room in the box over the CM. My Polaris wheeler just fits in my '06 DC, but I have to leave the tail gate down. I just can not go smaller. The cab on my '06 has enough room for my needs. My 4.7 does what I need, but would consider the 5.7 if the mileage is not too big of a hit. Color could be almost anything.

I'll keep reading and see what I end up with.

The 5.7 would be a good deal gets better miles per gallon than the 4.7. Go SR5 or higher.

My little brother has an 06 and today he is picking up an 08 DC 5.7. In 1999 I bought the first 4.7 SR5 V8 4WD Tundra and loved it! I now have a 5.7 DC and love it even more! The 5.7 does not get the same mileage as the 4.7 but when you feel the power difference especially for towing and hauling you will probably want to make the sacrifice. Good luck on your decision!

Welcome and enjoy the future ride. Like DEZ states do a search and you will find peace and happiness.

With gas at $3.59/ gal and rising, I am not about to buy another truck unless I can keep the same or gain mileage. Right now I am getting about 17 average. This is on a bone stock Tundra with the 4.7L. The 4.7 has enough power for my needs most of the time, the rest I just take a little longer to get there. Since I have more time than money this works for me.

More than anything I am looking for real honest numbers on fuel mileage. My father-in-law offered to buy my '06 if I want to sell it. He does not care for the newer body style and does not want the 5.7 for some reason. Like I said above... just starting to look at options. Will not make a purchase until the '09's are out.
