The thing that prevented me
The thing that prevented me from buying a Tundra all of this time was the lack of availability of a crew cab with a 6.5 foot (which is already shortened from standard) bed. The lousy gas mileage of the V8 was another but would not have stopped me - it was the bed length. A 5.5 bed is a joke that's funny until you try and use your truck as a truck.
