I'm thinking about adding a new toy to the garage. Anything I should be looking out for? I'm going to hit up the ford forums, but I find forums for certain vehicles rarely yield honest opinions on them.

I have one. Very comfy truck. Mine has all the options, heated and cooled seats, navi, sunroof. They're nice trucks, the biggest gripe is the poor mpg. I avg about 11 mpg with the 6.2

You're right to be cautious. My experience with Ford forums is that they're frequently filled with UAW Ford employees who think that anything without a Ford badge is a ****-stain on the surface of the Earth.

I'm not a ford guy but they're pretty sweet. i'd like to have one for a tow vehicle but 11mpg is *****! It would be like 5mpg with a trailer behind it! haha

I tried contacting the guy who had one for sale locally, but he never replied back. I said screw it and bought a new tundra crewmax limited.

Thanks! I wish I could tell you how I like it, but I handed the keys to my wife the day I bought it and haven't seen it since. I can tell you I do not like her forester near as much.

Do not own one but there is a major issue of the bed becoming slanted downwards. Frames bending etc

I only have the one pic because my wife has the truck. I work in another town during the week because we are waiting to sell the house. Will take pics this weekend, but it's just like any other tundra.

You're excused. This once

I've been in the same boat. I ended up keeping the Evo instead.
