YOU OBVIOUSLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. And since you have never owned a truck before, it just confirms it. You cannot trust everything you read on complaint websites. Chevy guys will bash Ford trucks and vise versa. Half of the articles you read are probably written falsely. I recently traded in a 2005 Toyota Tacoma for a 2005 Ford F-150. I had 5 waranty ...

However, just a few days ago, I postponed the order for several more months. I'm getting ready to move, and I want to see what Toyota will do with the 2008 CrewMax. I really like the CrewMax, but I would like to see the CrewMax with a ... Read More...

Re: 2005 Toyota Tundra Lease Buyout Options [coyne2]

Written by: sebring95 on Apr 05, 2007 10:20 AM

Easiest bet is to find someone to assume your lease. It looks like you're around $350/month which is a decent deal particularly because of the very low miles. The lease can be assumed by someone else very cheaply and then they can decide whether to buy-out or turn it next year. I have assumed a couple leases in the past and it worked out great. www.swapalease.com ... Read More...

Install was easy even tho Toyota vehicles ... Read More...
