Just joined the forum and can't wait for the fun to begin! Currently own a 2011 Tundra TRD 4X4 Double Cab 5.7L
I really like my current truck, except for the gas mileage but am looking for something more oriented for my work. I work in a professional setting and often take guests places. The truck is not suited for this many of the times. I do use my wife's Lexus RX 350 when needed. But I think I am trying to talk myself into either a GX 470/460 or even an LX.
I've been lurking for a while and read a bunch on the GX 470. There is much to like about this platform but I do have some concerns. I really like the power of my 5.7L engine and wonder if I would regret going back to the smaller V8. I also take a lot of calls in the car and the technology of the 470 seems very dated. The other item I am slightly concerned about the timing belt vs. chain. Maybe that isn't such an issue but something I wonder about.
All relevant thoughts and insights welcomed!
TIA
