New to forum, new to Tundra!!!

[Harlon]

I did it. Took me 3 months and I finally came home with a Tundra today. I haven't had a truck payment in 4 years, so it was hard to take that step.

I got an '08 SR5 CrewMax 5.7, dark Gray metallic, cloth bucket seats, fog lights, spray in bedliner ..... and lots of standard stuff. I really did not go for a ton of options. There are some things I'll add myself (Nerf Bar, stereo system, upgraded rims, etc). But I wanted to buy a low key truck, as far as bells and whistles go. I found that far from true, as it is loaded with bells and whistles as standard items. I pushed one button and my rear window rolled down. How cool is that??

Anyhow, just FYI, I gave $27000 for it. I felt like I got a decent deal on a crewmax. (yes?/ no? - although it doesn't really matter now!) And I loved the drive home! I only hope that 14 MPG goes up over time.

I'll take pics tomorrow. Tonight I was so excited I had to tell someone!!!

Yay for me! An early birthday present. Now everyone sing ... "Happy birth .... you know the rest)

That Slate Grey is an awesome color. Congrats on the new ride.
