Looks like I might be retiring my 2007 Tundra EDIT: $7K for all needed repairs on the Tundra. Under 100k miles. Not all repairs must be done immediately, but all probably within a year.

I’m just starting the search. I want used, probably certified, good fuel economy, all weather handling ability, and decent cargo space. I like a lot of room in the cabin (I’ve been using Suburu station wagons recently, and they are very cramped). I also will not tolerate digital surveillance, or subscription-only access to physically installed hardware. And I too, come from the Tom Paris school of wanting physical buttons dials and switches for everything (the displays in the suburus are blinding at night, even the speedometer! (and I do NOT need to know my fuel economy from second to second, Suburu - How could you possibly thing flashing that in my face with a bright light is useful in any way?!)))

    I’m gonna push back on most comments I’m seeing, most of whats recommended looks like suspension or maintenance. Imo, you’d be better off doing the repairs at this point, of that’s absolutely everything needed on the truck, and the body is in decent shape. $7000 is a year of payments for almost any new vehicle, and about 18 months on a newer used vehicle. Definitely get a second opinion, and I wouldn’t fix this all at once, or even bother with something like that parking brake. If you are set on upgrading, go drive anything that looks decent.
