[QUOTE="big, post: 1239480, member: 26459"] Found a used 2013 to test drive. I thought the ride was very nice. The extra 6" of width comes from the bulbous fenders. Which is what gives it that macho look and covers the wider track and tires. I thought the exhaust noise was rather loud. Too loud for my tastes. Don't know if the original owner had modified the mufflers. The Gen2s are of course a completely different story. I have a 2005 4 door Tundra. I'm relatively accustomed to driving large trucks. Biggest complaint about the Tundra is parking. Its a PIA, especially in places like the **** Depot parking lot. I actually have another car to use when I know I'm not going to need the Tundra, but inevitably I find myself parking the beast in difficult places. Several people have told me that my generation of Tundra was turning circle challenged. I've driven a couple F-150s and seat of the pants, they don't seem much better. A new truck of course is going to have all those cameras. That will definitely help. It is difficult to convince the dealers to give you a test drive on a new one. None of the local guys even have any inventory, and if they did, every homeboy in the next six counties would be by for a test/joy ride. Driving the gen1 I think is a good analogue. It is quite a large beast. Trying to convince myself that's the driving experience I want. [/QUOTE]
