2008 Toyota Tundra 5.7liter By Scott Parizo on - Updated Sep 18, 2011

I recently have been truck shopping and I test drove this 2008 toyota tundra with 5.7 liter V8 motor. Truck came with a extended cab heated mirrors and electric everything. This vehicle also comes with a unique 6 gear transmission if your going down a hill you can down shift to slow down without using your brakes good idea to save on brake pads but not sure how the wear and tear will be on the transmission. I was very impressed with this truck it had all the options I wanted with alot of storage room and space. I really only need a truck to be able to tow my boat but I do like driving trucks vs cars.

The dealer did not seem to want to give me a fair price. They wanted to charge me 527 dollars a month for a term of 6 years which I thought was completely outrageous. I have been working with a GMC dealer for a truck with a little smaller engine but worth the same value as the toyota and I would only be paying 429 a month. The incentives being given for toyota right now cannot compare to GM or dodge.

Such a shame that the dealership wasn' t more flexible in working out a deal.

I miss having a truck sooo bad. I jsut can't afford one with the gas prices the way they are. I will have to be jealous for a while longer I suppose.
