Default My wife wanted a truck

She likes large 4x4 trucks so she bought this beast. It looks real good on her so why not.

My buddy bought a tundra a few months back, the top of the line tundra. It beats the living sh*t out of my stock s2k. Good choice Ask your wife to run your s2k and record it

I could never get over it if she beat me so that aint going to happen real soon. She only has 170 miles on her truck and my S only has 2500 on it so not really beatin on them yet.

It'll give you a run for your money if she gets the jump on you. I was following a friend who has a fully loaded limited 4 door. He nailed it from about a 20 roll and caught me off guard, I wasn't gaining any ground till around 80. The whole time I was thinking "damn thats a big truck to move like that"

The GVWR is not the curb weight - that just refers to how much it can safely weigh fully loaded down (truck + people + cargo).

Nice truck, they have a great powertrain. They can be a bitch to park, though!
