re: The Tundra is the best full sized truck on the market. (Change my mind)

The "average" chevy, ford, ram owner probably puts half the milage/year on it (for personal use) than i do on my tundra (for work use). So that $700/year i'm paying more for in gas is more like $300-400 more for the average driver. So it's not inconceivable to think that over 8 years of owning/ driving the tundra maintenance free, that i'm at least breaking even with maintenance costs on other vehicles. That being said, I'm fortunate enough that most of my fuel is paid for as a business expense...and as previously mentioned, there is a whole other pain in the butt (non-numerical value) of being without your work vehicle, having to rent or share a vehicle, and having to move all of your tools from one vehicle to another so you can still work when the other is down in the shop. That's my justification and it makes sense to me, but not everyone is in the same situation.
