Hello all, this is my first post as I just discovered these forums when seeking information on a possible truck purchase.
First - I hope I posted this in the correct place!
A little info: I have been leasing a 2018 SR5 Tundra for the past 3 years, and absolutely loved it. It is mainly used to tow our 6K lb camper all over the USA. Unfortunately, I am not able to afford to purchase this off lease, but would love to stay in the Tundra family. I have found a 2008 Tundra (specs in post title) with 85K miles for sale for $20K. I am a little leery of buying a 12 year old vehicle, but the mileage and price seem fairly decent for my current budget. I am also looking at similar spec F150 that is about $2K cheaper.
What do you all think about the possibility of a vehicle of this age and layout as a primary tow vehicle? Should I be concerned about the age, or not really because it is still a Tundra and they seem to last forever and hold their value tremendously?
Thank you for any advice on this!
