Good Bye RAV4 Hello Tundra

When we bought the boat this past fall, we knew we had to either trade the RAV4 in for a truck or buy a older truck, so we could pull the boat. After spending the winter debating the merits of both options we chose to trade the RAV4 in for a newer truck. We like having only one vehicle to maintain and insure. Also we love that we got rid of our monthly car payment!

When we were down in the lower mainland for the Olympic Opening Ceremonies we saw an ad for a 2005 Tundra (we had narrowed our search down to a Toyota Tundra). Once on the car lot we saw that there was a 2006 Tundra with even less miles on it. The is truck was imported from the states, so the odometer and speedometer are in miles. We knew we would like to trade the RAV4 in but since we had flown down to Vancouver for the Ceremonies we had to wait until we drove with the RAV4 there for the Closing Ceremonies, 2 weeks later.

The truck had 36000 miles on it which is about 58000 km, this is really good for an '06. It is also a Limited Edition, which means leather! We wanted leather, as it is so easy to clean up, spills and messes as we have found out with Elyse and our leather couches at home. You can't tell in the photos, as the truck looks greyish, but in the sun it is a brownish colour with tan leather interior.

We love the 4 full size doors, it makes it so easy to get Elyse and her car seat in and out, plus there is so much room in the back seat that Elyse can be back there along with 2 adults! With the truck too, we don't have to move either one of the front seats forward to fit Elyse's car seat in to the back seat.
