New to me 2008 Toyota Tundra
«
on:
March 15, 2018, 02:34:07 PM »
I decided the 1997 F250 (with the 5.4 gas engine) was no longer reliable enough for our family to take on long vacations pulling a trailer, so I decided on a new to me 2008 Toyota Tundra. I found the canopy on craigslist and just need to paint it now. Anyone have any recommendations on back up cameras or other useful aftermarket items? I have wanted a tundra since the original came out and have not been disappointed with this one yet. It has 135,000 miles on it and I am hoping it will go 250,000+ trouble free miles.

Nice truck, I got a couple buddies with a 2010 and a 2013, they seem to like them a lot and no problems that I have heard of except the gas mileage but it’s a truck.

I paid $14K for the truck, and found the canopy on craigslist for $350.

I have a 2006 and love it. Only 90,000 hunting and fishing miles on it. Recommend a line-x Bed liner if it doesn’t already have one.

Thanks Brushcrawler. I like those 2006 tundras but I have 4 kids and I could never find a 06 tundra with a double cab with 3 seatbelts in the front and 3 in the back (I dont think they made them with a front bench seat).
It does have a spray in bedliner.

I had an 08 and now I have a 2010 , the only issues I have had with both are the heater makes a funny noise and the gas gauges haven't worked right in either one, I had a little over a quarter tank yesterday and managed to run out if gas on 167 so just be on the look out for that!! Nice truck, I have really liked both of mine!! They get really crappy gas mileage when you tow things!!
