You won't regret it

I'll probably never own another Dodge myself (or Ford or Chevy for that matter). The employee discounting for Toyo is sweet (and it doesn't hurt that the Tundras are f*****g sharp looking to boot).

Thanks!! I liked my Dodge, and it treated me well. The Dodge dealer on the other hand.............not so much.

Now I'm busy trying to sell off my Dodge accessories that I removed, so I can go buy accessories for the Toyota...LOL!

Welcome Shawn... I checked out your website. Sh!t you're a big dude. I can't believe you can't bench 1000lbs. I could do that when I was 12. just kidding. Congrats on the Tundra and good luck with your quest.

How many people in the world can bench 1000lbs? Can't be many. That's incredible!

Welcome to the site, and enjoy your truck. Good luck with the 1,000lb bench, hope you get it, not many people can say they've benched half a ton.

I liked my Dodge also, it got me where I had to go (unfortunately it was only 1/2 mile round trip to work each day and occasionally the 34 mile round trip to bowling every other weekend). I needed something a little more practical for towing the toys and something that wasn't quite as thirsty. Now my Durango sits in the front yard, almost going on a month now and no takers. Asking 2k for a '98 SLT loaded with 106k miles, everyone else is asking 4500-5500 for the same thing with 20k more miles lol. Sad thing is I cant get a bite because everyone is afraid of SUV's now (or their wallet is).

Great looking site lat, glad to have 'ya aboard, gl with that 1k bench!
