I'll be graduating college here in the next couple of months, and as a gift to myself for a "job well-done" *cough*, I'm going to buy a different vehicle. I've been looking for quite a while for what I want. I've narrowed it down to either a Tundra or a Powerstroke, and in either way I'll be buying new.
Why in the world can I not find a new Tundra that is not a FlexFuel?!? I would supercharge the Tundra, and last I knew you couldn't supercharge the FlexFuel through Toyota.
The Powerstroke I would delete and tune to ease my mind, assuming I can find any after recent events. I have no intentions of power tuning, just tuning to accommodate the deletes and improve the reliability. The Powerstroke would most likely be a 2012 at the moment due to EPA crap and adjustments to the 2013 Powerstroke.
Whatever I get will be my daily driver, so fuel mileage is important. I haven't done the analysis yet to determine monetary reasoning of one versus the other including payments, fuel, maintenance, insurance, etc. Either way keeping more money in my pocket is never a bad thing. However, for what I really want in the Powerstroke, I have found the lowest asking price to be $53k. There are other options that I would settle for with asking prices of around $42k. In the Tundra, I really haven't found what I want because not having the FlexFuel is one of the most important aspects to me.
Also, I plan to buy in CO but I'm moving to OH, so registration will be out there. Is there any problem that may arise from that because I'm not very familiar with that kind of situation?
Just looking for some advice or insight into something I may overlook. What do you guys think? (I know there is some details on my part that I've probably overlooked in explaining just because I already know my situation and can't convey everything to you very effectively).
