All I could say is to shop around for financing. Others here who are more familiar with financing may be able to help. I'd suggest to get a credit card with no anual fee, which I'm sure you would pay off each month.

Stupid stuff, repetitive issues along with some serious, costly things that happened to both of his trucks. Tranny replacment, rear axle whine, O2 sensors, intake Manifolds, Int. steering shaft replacement, multiple early brake jobs, all of this happened on both of his trucks (combined). Not to mention they were just cheap and chintzy...
So even his own personal service dept. couldn't keep him in the GM camp. Free fixes are still fixes no matter how he looked at it, it was still too much inconvenience than it was worth. So, he now drives a 5.7l TTDC. Didn't even give the new ones a chance... :sick:
My highway varies between 23-26 MPG, and I'm REAL happy about that.
How did I get there? Lots of performance parts $$$$
CAI, TBS, Headers, Y-Pipe, Cat-Back Dual, Computer Chip, Electric Fan, ScanGuageII to monitor.
Most info I got from TundraSolutions.com, most of the parts from PerformanceProducts.com. Runs nice and smooth, power to spare, will smoke those big 17 inch rear tires, even after a rolling start.
yuk!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tundra Double Cab did exelent on hills (65 mph) super comfortable. MPG was only 8 1/2 but that was all my lifted F350 diesel got on the hills pulling the same trailer. Talked to another new Tundra owner who said that's what he got pulling an 8,500 lb trailer 2,600 miles on a vacation through Colorado. I have gotten around 14 1/2 mpg pulling my 5,200 lb concrete pump combination city/highway.(No windage on it like my travel trailer) Best I've done not towing straight highway is 17.12 mpg. Overall I'm super happy with my new Tundra. Just wish they had made it about 6" higher!
Any ideas?

TundraSolutions is such a BS site. Why would anyone in his right mind pays to be a member. Such BS.

Still squeak and rattle free and he has hauled max payload items such as concrete blocks and drywall in the bed, plus towed at maximum quite a few times and the truck performed flawlessly. It rides like a car too. The new 07 Tundra however does need further refinement. Sometimes older is better.
If you take a look on the other Tundra forums, like TundraTalk.net or TundraSolutions.com you'll see that it's an endemic problem! :-(
The brand new key seems pretty sharp.
My wife has a 2004 Sequoia at home. That truck's paint still looks brand new. I will take the key to an inconspicuous place on it to determine if the Tundra is significantly different. I should report back by Monday.
I really hope the paint difference is not as significant as cheekyrick indicates. I had a '89 F250 that had a factory paint problem that made most of the silver paint fall off the truck after a few years. Strangely, the truck never really rusted, but had the primer exposed over most of the horizontal surfaces after perhaps 8 years of service. I still have that truck and will be selling it now that I have the Tundra. I was really hoping to have a truck with more general use than the old Ford's with all the paint peeling all the time.
I'll keep you posted.
NVBanker, I seem to recall that you used to frequent the Toyota Sequoia, Nissan Armada, and/or Lincoln Navigator forums back in 2003 when I was investigating the eventual purchase of a SUV. Your comments were very helpful. I eventually bought a 2004 Sequoia for my wife and we have been tickled pink with that truck for the past 4.5 years. Nearly 80,000 miles and not a single trip to the shop for other than scheduled maintenance. It is on its second set of tires and they still have quite a bit of wear left on them.
So based on my experience with the 2004 Sequoia, I (after much laborious deliberation) finally purchased a Tundra. While some aspects seem to be improved over the Sequoia, most do not. I really hope the new Tundra is made from the same cloth as the previous truck was.
This paint thing has me a bit worried. I wish I had seen some of these posts before I ordered the truck back in December.
1.first the brakes grabbed now they are mushy
2.the door stop on the regular cab extra long door broke and dealer says not under warranty toyota agrees says to treat tundra tenderly
3. sun reflection off of the hood on the bend near the windshield and off of the plastic over the radio on the dashboard are extremely annoying
two things work flawlessly on my powder puff; the tail gate and the cruise control
