Location: north central wisconsin | After running GMC's, and not being so thrilled with the last one(gutless wonder 2004), and not being able to get my dealer to work with me, I went with a new 2008 Tundra with the 5.7 and am still running it. It doesn't get the best fuel mileage, but the difference in power/speed/handling is like night and day between my GMC's and this. It pulls the boat with seemingly no effort. I drive my buddies 2008 F150 a lot, and it is a nice truck. I'd buy one of them over another GM. But the power and unbelievably tight turning radius(evident in parking lots, driveways, landings) would still have me choose another Tundra. I also like how much quieter this pickup is than my last few. So far no major mechanical other than a hair leak in the manifold that occurred just out of warranty and really didn't need to be fixed, but Toyota paid for the part(I paid the $500 labor). Just did the first full brake job which is likely a bit spendier than on a 1500/150 because the rotors are so huge. I have almost 100k on it, and I'm going to see just how long it will last.
