The minivan suggestion is debatable but the rest of my advice is on point.

Have you shopped lately? I bought a new truck last week. I first looked at Tundras despite their worst in class fuel economy. It did not take long to drop them from consideration. First, there were no Tundras to be found. And the few that were out there were $10-15k above MSRP. No thanks.

I agree with Cajun slick. I just traded my 2018 F150 in for a ram 1500. I bought my Ford new and due to work, put 153,000mi on it in 3 years. I had to replace both front wheel bearings before I hit 85,000mi and my sync Bluetooth went out, radio froze up daily. I brought the truck in last week to get the Bluetooth and radio fixed and the dealership told me it was the sync module. I asked them if this was common bc the radio is only 3 years old and he said yes, they get at least 5 a week. Since I was out of warranty, it would cost me at least $1k to fix, assuming that the sync module would also fix the radio issue. Needless to say I was done. The ram dealership has a Longhorn edition 4x4 1500 so I traded the piece of shite Ford in. If this truck doesn’t hold up, I’ll go back to Toyota. My only issue with Toyota are those shitty seats bc they kill my back. Other than that, I never had an issue with the truck and sold it with 250,000mi.

You should revisit the fuel economy on the new tundras. It’s the exact same as a Ford with ecoboost
Would love to know if you were seeing the new ones at 10-15k above or if that was a 3 year old going for that much.

New; with used prices what they are I did not even waste my time looking at used. Just for kicks I just searched autotrader again. There was one new toyota tundra crew cab 4wd within 100 miles of me. It is priced at $68k, MSRP is $65k.

Every dealership does little extras that adds to the cost. Whether that is a “diamond” coating on the paint or paint chip protector on the hood, etc.
that is most likely the increase in price but there are some dealers that will mark up a very high demand vehicles. I wouldn’t do business with those.

This.
Buying a diesel these days is a horribly expensive decision. Gas engine 3/4 ton trucks are the way to go. Doesn't make any sense at all for most people to buy a diesel 3/4 ton, unless you've got ample money to blow.
Diesel Costs way more initially, costs way more to maintain, lower payload capacity, lower reliability, marginally better fuel economy, much higher fuel costs,
You're paying over $10k extra for something that will cost you more to use. Unless you're pulling heavy enough often enough to need a dually, you almost certainly are better off with a gas engine.
