I LOVE my 2012 Tundra. Love it, love it, love it. It's way too big, I'll admit, but it rides nice, runs well, has four doors, and is just a great all around truck. It's in Texas with us now, and this is its fourth trip here. I bought new tires at 55000 or so miles, and had some oil changes but otherwise have put $0 into it. No problems with breaks, for example, which my 2004 Chevy chewed through. I think we've got near 80,000 miles on it now, give or take.
The gas mileage is right about 17 mpg over all. I like the way the rear seat folds, so we can have a "step" on one side for easy entry for kids and dogs. It can seat 6 (a very small butt in the middle in the front, but sometimes it's me) but definitely 4 large people very comfortably and 5 pretty ok as well. Usually, it's two adults in the front, and in the back either one 95 pound dog or that same dog and two car seats with kids in them. Better than most cars I've driven, that's for sure.
Bench seat in the front of yours? This one has two buckets, and a CAVERNOUS cubby in between. Like, you could fit three babies in there, if you were the Duggars or something. Or hanging files, is what it's actually designed to hold. Told the sales guy, you don't even need to LIKE the person you're driving with, they're so far away.
There's another Tacoma that's basically the same price (a little more) and a couple fewer miles. I think I'm going to take that for a spin tomorrow; it feels silly to buy a smaller truck for the same money, but I'd just like to do the comparison, one right after the other. Because I need a truck, but I don't see how I'm likely going to need THIS much truck.
Unless I do something moronic like buy a boat.
