I have been waiting to buy one of the Toyota Tundra but I have decided to buy one of the Toyota tundra Platinum crewmax 2020. I like about this platinum. it’s awesome and it has lots of power. I have to take my foot of the gas pedal a little more light because it has so much power and heavy foot on 35 speed limits can easily to get pass the speed limits. I didn’t know that this truck came with remote start. The remote start by the FOB is not that great but it’s free, right? Yes it was. The APPS monitor to making sure all doors lock and it works great. But I don’t know how much does it cost later when it’s expire after two years.
One down side that I wish Toyota make it a better way and more light into it. The signal flashing in the front of the head when making left or right turn signal, the light is hard to see when really sunny and bright during the day. When looking at the signa amber light is too light bright and it’s hardly see the amber light signal within 5 feet away from the head light. This is definitely need to more a lot from Toyota. If this issue fix and get a LED light bulb to replace by Toyota. it’s definitely perfect truck.
