    WOW!!!! First off, buy American. Help out the old boys at GM or we may never see another Camaro let alone a T/A. Second, what kind of job do you have at 17 to afford both vehicles, one being a 09. I will personnally fly out and get a job where you work so I can finish my H/C build.

    they are the biggest Men I have ever seen. I
    wouldn't want to fight them!

    Me: That is why no one will remember your name!

    I don't believe that even for a second, if so buy a used GM.

    I see where the money thing is going then. Plus no bills, gotcha. Guess I won't be flying out.



    But anyways, why not get a 05 or something a little less new and go GM. I personnally haven't heard anything bad or good about the truck you listed so I can't help in that aspect. But its your money, you can buy what you want. Someone on this board has to have one, they might chime in.

    Chevy & Toyota trucks both start at around 20K
    You will have a $500 month payment + the cost of full coverage insurance, FUEL, etc.

    Did some work on a Colorado 4 door ZR2. Nice truck. Small truck with BIG ass tires.

    I have worked on Tundras and they are nice trucks too...BUT...if yer gonna get the TRD package, why da F^%K would you get street tires? Dunlop SPSport5000M...? They ARE NOT for trucks. I replaced a set on an 08 Tundra with a set of Dunlop Grandtrek radials a few months back.

    THE TRUCK ONLY HAD 6K ON THE CLOCK.

    I've driven both. I prefer the grunt the Silverados have on initial take off. Tundras are a dog out the gate. I don't give two shits what those commercials say

    Do a little research on youtube. Their body is the biggest piece of shit I have ever seen. They have terrible body roll. The frame might as well be made of fiberglass because it's terrible. Towing it's awful. They are the biggest waste for a truck I have ever seen. Wow they are quick? So what, then buy a car if you want speed.

    Deffinitly watch this one!


    But you go ahead and buy a piece of shit especially when our economy is the way it is. Trade your Trans Am in while your at for a camry.

    You want speed, go buy a sports car. Tundra's have really only one purpose in their trucks and that is to go fast in a straight line.

    Their C frames flex a lot sometimes causing damage to the cab and frame strength is questionable...not sure if they fixed the weak tailgate and cam lobe problems but they probably did.

    If I was you i'd get a used truck that you can afford...working 16 hours a week with college in the near future isn't going to cut it IMO.

    Why not a used Silverado extended cab Z71? Then mod da sh!t outta it.

    Also depends on how many bills the OP is paying monthly. $9/hr won't cut it.
