    I can't believe you have bad gas mileage. My hybrid is 18-19 in winter with warmup and 4-wheel drive. Can't wait for summer for it to go back up. All time high was 24mpg.

    You get bad gas mileage because of your 35s on your truck. Your truck looks great. Tundras FOREVER. Best truck in the world 🌎.

    Also if you going back to a 2nd gen tundra, just get a well maintained one. 2007-2008. Cheap and basically the same. Fuel mileage will be around 9-12 despite what other's say. 15-16 on highway yes, but city driving around 10 is realistic number. So think about it.

    You should go for a 2008 Mitsubishi Endeavor AWD mid-size SUV with the 3.8 L V6 engine and the four-speed automatic transmission or a 2017 Honda Odyssey Touring eight-passenger minivan with the 3.5 L V6 engine and the six-speed automatic transmission. These higher-seating position vehicles should be great for you and your family, because they are both reliable and get decent fuel economy than any pick-up truck. If you need a sedan, you can just buy a 2009 Saturn Aura XE or XR with the 2.4 L four-cylinder engine and the six-speed automatic transmission or a 2013 Mazda 6 with the 2.5 L four-cylinder engine and the five-speed automatic transmission. The sedan should be more fun to operate (drive) than an SUV or a minivan. It should be interesting. Thank you very much and have a great final day of February. March will begin tomorrow with spring break coming up soon.

    I think you should get maybe a 4th gen 4runner V8 or a older land cruiser that's stock and we'll maintained low mileage. Would be a lot cheaper and then you can build it out on the channel. Something affordable that the general population can relate to. And give you time to find what nice new generation vehicle you want to buy when the market comes down. Then sell the old one or keep it as a off road rig.

    My Tacoma has been just sitting and parked under cover for the past couple years. Probably considered super lows miles although it has always been that way. We will have to get together and do an update video on the van along with Karis Chevy express. She had a IFS 4wd conversion done on hers.

Why not a Rava 4 XSE Hybrid (non plug in) or the New Honda CRV Sport Touring. If you go with a smaller truck, why not a Honda Ridgeline. Just throwing ideas at you.

Toyota should just give you some loaner vehicles on the new stuff coming out. While they’re at it they need to figure out how they’re going to weather the pending economic storm and make some affordable vehicles instead of these new overpriced overteched underwhelming turbo charged 4x4s.
