Looking for a 2020ish New-to-me Truck

[Rain City]

Thought I'd ask here because a lot of you are around trucks. Totalled my Ram a couple weeks back, super fun stuff. Need something newer and reliable but I'm not doing any towing or crazy off roading. a 2021 V8 Tundra would be nice but trying to keep it under 50k if possible. I only put 8k kms per year on my truck and it's mostly city driving with the odd half-yard of gravel or small load of lumber. Crew cab preferred for the kids as this would be our once per year Okanogan trip and once per year Island trip vehicle as well. Any leads would be appreciated.

As an option get a half/ton Silverado or GMC Sierra. For under 50 that year you can get a pretty clean truck low kms. There are lot used right now in the 30k to 40k range some with very low kms. 2020 to 2021 models.

Been happy with mine and it is a 2017, and been reliable.

That was for sure my first choice in trying to keep the cost sub 40k. But then you know how it goes, I have 30 but I could spend 40 and if I'm looking at 40 then why not bump it up to 50?! And that's when the Tundras slid into my DMs.

Yeah its a bit crazy with used trucks right now. Toyota is always going to more reliable but have to pay for it. Its crazy what some are asking for those tundra. Sought after truck.

I have a 2020 Tundra and I can tell you that its the best truck I have ever owned. And I have owned them all at one time or another. Not cheap to buy or run but comfortable, powerful and I could still sell for what I paid for it in 2021. Good luck on your search.

Not going to lease through the company? Is most of your commuting for work?

It's still more money out that way. I write-off milage and depreciation anyway. My 2015 Ram cost me all of 2k per year in the end. Can't beat that with any lease. I always buy 2-3 years old and keep them for as long as possible.
