I have been visiting this site since I bought my Silver 07 DC Ltd Tundra last December. I live in one of the highest towns in the USA and most of my driving is over 10,000 ft of elevation. The mountains sure bring out some defficiencies in the engineering of our trucks. Heater, VSC, Wipers, defroster, traction control. Overall I am very impressed with the truck. Power, handling and features rate a 9.5 out of 10. Some of the other features rate a 6. I dont think the mileage is that bad for a truck of this size. I get 20+ mpg if I am at hiway speeds...15+around town here.
I know..I know.. post some pictures...... Well its just finally turning to summer here as we have had snow every week of some amount. SO getting the truck clean is always a chore.

I have only done a few mods..SS Nerf Bars, Leer topper, All weather mats, Bedrug, Linex spray in liner, Prodigy Brake controller.

Best to all and thinks for all the info......

Very good job......Very nice truck too.

Thanks for all the welcomes! I feel like I know a bunch of you already as I have read the forum for a few months since I bought my truck. I am a member of another auto forum and there seems to be a lot of bickering on the other one...no bickering here..just some playful teasing about the CM vs DC rivalry. I would have gotten the crew max had it been available with a bigger bed. I am a builder and have to have at least the 6 1/2 foot bed..But the DC works just fine!!
