The 5.3L only loses to the RAM 5.7L by ~40hp. What exactly are you hauling/pulling that you need the extra 40hp and are willing to go that route even though the trans have been an issue with RAM, your RAM may need a trans rebuild/replace AND you seem to be strapped for cash?

Do as you please. Best of luck!

Not unless your goal is off-roading.

The GX platform is still on a truck based latter frame. Great for off-trail, not so great for on-road manners.

For GX money, I would be looking at the Audi Q5, SQ5

Very nice and congrats! Doesn’t look like you stayed anywhere near your original budget of $25k.

Good move. Same platform as my Toyota Sequoia Limited. I love my Camaro, but for a great full size daily driver that will never die, tough to beat Sequoia/Tundra IMO.

Yeah, not really. Love the truck though..

Just need some decent wheels.

I got a really good lease deal, prob buy it out when my situation changes. Driving a 50k truck in the 2's not bad.

Its my first truck. Its so drastically different from my sedan and camaro, but I love the feel of it.

Guys on Tundra forums are bitching 19/20's didn't come with the transmission oil cooler like years previous.

Its a good community, there on fb.
