Beauty is in the eye of the beholder….
And, though I want a new Tundra, I’m not sure if it’s actually beautiful. But it’ll do.

Have y'all convinced each other which truck is better or the best looking yet?  Must be Ford since Chevy and Toyota borrowed the slab side look

Looks are secondary.
I do not want a six cylinder anything.

Same here ^^^^^^. That's the reason I pulled the trigger on my '21 when I totaled my '12 last November. I could have waited a week for a '22 to come in but they had 5 of the V-8's on the lot and I just picked my color.

I do like how the previous body style Tundras looked, they actually looked like a man's truck. The Ford's have looked too feminine for me since they switched to the rounder body style in 1997. The Dodge's have always been ugly, but I do like the new TRX. I thought about getting one, but I just can't get away from GMC.

I don’t understand your question. It matters because I want a red one. Reminds me of what a coworker told me many years ago. He said to me “when it matters, it matters, but when it don’t matter, it just don’t matter”. Thinking about that statement gave me a headache for a while, but upon reflection, he was right.
Now, why does it matter….well, I have a red one now, and its name is BART (Big [censored] Red Truck), and I want BART 2, and red is my favorite color. And, any other color wouldn’t work as a useful acronym.
Told a lady coworker about BART and what it meant, and she named her suitcases LARS and BARS. little [censored] red suitcase and big [censored] red suitcase.

Down here, the other side of the river is red and we don't buy no red trucks. Never seen a good looking one.

The next bad engine Toyota builds will be the first. The problem with the news reports is that a small amount of bad news gets blown up and spread wide. I'm willing to bet there's nothing wrong design-wise with the new engine. They've been building a 3.5 V6 for years. I would buy with confidence (if I had to, these prices SUCK).

Yeah, you tell him Buzz!
Years ago I did a lot of business with DuPont. Got to know the sales guys pretty well. They said that DuPont had done a study on what sort of people like what color vehicle. It helped them sales wise to know that. What he said they found was this:
black and dark gray - power colors they called it. Which makes sense.
Red - favorite color of aggressive drivers
Yellow - bought by high energy people
White - bought by people that like order and control in their lives, like schoolteachers, Moms. Good resale.
Green and brown - bought by ‘earth mother’ types. Bad on resale.
Purple - low volume, bought by kids
Blue - sort of fits everybody. Good seller and good resale.
Camo - people on hunting forums (joking).
So, now you know about yourself. I buy red. Wife buys white.

Test drove a SR5 Tundra. No frills model. Nice truck, the 3.6 had PLENTY of power and speed. The price DRAMATICALLY goes up from this model to the $116,000 Capstone.
Think I would rather buy a 4 Runner though

Stock 2jz Supra would get ate up by a modern coyote engine mustang. Only when you up the turbos does it really sing, and I give Toyota props for building a stock engine that can take that. My sunglasses are polished and idk what corarona is but sipping on a little bacones rum tonight. Shout out John (TexasLefty)

They did that in the 90s Kyle. The coyote has potential but Grannas in a stick shift is running 6s. A coyote may do that a few times and he has done it for awhile as in years....
