Limited Access Cab 4x4
| | Model | Limited Access Cab 4x4 | | | What things have gone wrong with the car? | Odd clock location, inadeqate rear bumper design, Gas Door can only be unlocked from outside. Design of cloth bench seat armrests almost guarantees they will be filthy with sweat and dirt in a short while. Premium sound is pretty weak. | | | | |
| | | General comments? | My wife and I researched and drove numerous trucks before we selected the Tundra. We have two small children (3yo and 8mth) and we wanted a vehicle that would accommodate them around town and occasionally (once-twice a year) on longer trips of about 250 miles. Our oldest was able to easily get in and out of a 4x4 with the Off-Road Package as long as it was equipped with running boards. We have a '93 Camry we bought new and have enjoyed it through over 120K so the quality of the vehicle was a great selling point. We submitted an e-mail to 8 Atlanta-area dealerships with specific features in mind including color. We knew one dealership had exactly what we wanted and they wouldn't come down on price. We eventually narrowed the field to two dealerships and finally ordered it through Marietta Toyota. Our salesman, Perry Kinney, did a great job of working with us and kept the super-salesman stuff to a minimum (ok, a few things) but nothing we couldn't handle. We got the price we wanted and they ordered the truck. A week later they called and told us our truck was there. Amazing how fast it got there in light of the fact it was built specifically for us. It came in exactly as ordered and they had us in our truck in an hour. We have driven it around town and some on the Interstate. I am planning a trip soon to the country and will get to see how it handles in the real dirt. I would buy this for someone that doesn't need it as a primary family car. The towing capacity seems pretty good but I haven't used it yet. | | | Previous car | Ford F-150, Chevy Siverado, Dodge Ram. Much more refined. Smaller than these but a much better built truck. |
