I love the platinum crew cab but first thing to do is swap the 20's for some trd offroad 18's 
If you want a truck with the smoothest ride and will be used for only light hauling, go look at the Honda Ridgeline. I had one of those for a few years and was so impressed by ride, handling, comfort, quietness, etc. The only reason I got rid of it was the 4,000 lb towing limit, so went with a Tundra Limited. It is surprising that the Ridgeline and Tundra double cab have the same bed length and the Honda has that cool under-bed storage compartment. I could carry two dirt bikes, riding gear, camping gear, and gas cans in the bed with the tailgate down and the bed extender option.Hi! I am new here ..
I just wonder how Tundra ride quality compare to other trucks? Is it stiff?
Me and wife are thinking F150 or Tundra..but she kind worried that Tundra is not compatible.. because I read that Tundra has least comfortable ride.. is that true?
We want a truck as a family hauler..and to do some hunting and taking some roads trips...
Any advice please!
Btw years are for Tundra '14 to '17
to the 5.7 V8, and believe it or not, the 5.7 gets better mileage on top of more power and torque! I think this is the last year that the 4.6 will be offered, but don't let a dealer talk you into one.
No-one here knows this for sure?Sadly the 5.7 V8 will no longer be offered once the new generation Tundra previews late 2022.
Well ..depends how reliable that engine will be .. I dont mind reliable turbocharged engine... but yeah it will have more parts ..means more chance to go wrongSadly the 5.7 V8 will no longer be offered once the new generation Tundra previews late 2022.
Snow, ice, rain, & road salt ( & throw in a bad ground) are a recipe for bad corrosion of an aluminum body. Probably why Tundras last so long, and Fords don't.Ford F-150 body is aluminum. I have heard that this is challenging if bodywork is required after an accident.

Which Ford Trucks Have Aluminum Bodies? | MotorBiscuit
There are several Ford trucks with aluminum bodies--and weirdly, Ford is the only manufacturer that has trucks like this. But why?www.motorbiscuit.com
I drive a 2008 Tundra DC. First big truck. This Tundra drives like a car. Very comfortable. Powerful engine. Another thing, the turning radius is very tight.
As one of my retiree jobs I delivered body parts to collision centers. In the three years of working I know I had delivered approximately ten of them to different places. The body shop guys I would deliver them to said it wasn’t usually worth the aggravation of pulling out the dents and buckles that would occur as the whole panel would be stressed from impacts.Ford F-150 body is aluminum.

That’s ten Ford aluminum beds, sorry. PS, I’ve had my 2010 Tundra in to the dealer around 2017 because there are four corners on the bed that are rusting out at weld points. Apparently I’m not the only one with the problem. And, I’ve had a cover on the bed since the beginning.As one of my retiree jobs I delivered body parts to collision centers.
