How do you like the TF fuel tank? Worth it? My Tundra is just like yours ('12 w/ 4.6L). I got the 26 gal tank...hate it.

This was awesome! I just moved from Iowa to Alaska in May of this year. I wasn't in a Toyota coupe, but I was in a Honda Accord coupe. Wasn't able to do much exploring due to COVID restrictions. Hoping to do a less rushed, more scenic journey one day when I move back down to the lower 48.

Holy thread revival. So since my '96 4Runner I went through some changes. Ended up in a '03 Honda CRV, then to a '11 Honda Accord coupe, '12 Acura TL, and now I'm in a '12 Toyota Tundra. I also moved from California to Iowa and now in Alaska. I'm happy to say I'm back in a rig I can overland...

I'll chime in. I had a 2008.5 Crew Cab SE 4x4. Loved the truck. Great size, good power, fully boxed frame. If you're going to get one, get a 2008.5 model or newer. This is when they upgraded to bigger front rotors as well as rear diff update I believe. Gas mileage will hurt at about 12/17, but...

Just FYI, expect to pay a pretty good premium for that. The 1st gen Tacomas command a pretty high price used...the fact that it has low mileage won't help. Great, reliable truck tough.

Did a Pismo run 2 weekends ago. I really felt the advantage of having a lighter SUV. Didn't get stuck at all, even when taking off from a stop on an incline. KEN_6389 by Kanger328, on Flickr KEN_6398 by Kanger328, on Flickr My travel partners KEN_6337 by Kanger328, on Flickr

I'm interested to know this as well. Just saw a new Sequoia in a parking lot today and wondered why it isn't more popular with the overland crowd. I know there's less aftermarket support than, say, and Landy...but it's also way cheaper for comparable years. Hope someone chimes in...

I don't own a Tacoma, but if I were to buy a midsize truck...that'd be my choice. If you're going to buy one, I'd recommend getting an older one for less money as opposed to a new one. I say this because a lot of changes are happening right now with car manufacturers trying to meet MPG...

Limited without leather? I wasn't aware of such option. Did he swap the seats out?

Correct, Savage mounts up to all stock bolt locations.
