I agree with you I am a big
I agree with you I am a big fan of the 2nd gen I bought one new in early 2006, 4x4 OR and its been a very servicable rig both on road and lots of offroad use in remote Nevada. The 4.0 engine has a very usable power torque curve, 5 spd is great even towing my 17 ft casita travel trailer, or rhino/trailer. Mine is getting up there its over 178,000 miles now, only solution I can see is buy a new tundra full size TRD Pro, or a lightly used 2014-2015 OR TRD, not many good new trucks out there, lots of negatives, seems engineers taking leave of their senses now days, and trying to charge huge bucks for junk.
