First of all, don't beat me.. I Searched!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I've been on here a couple times looking for info on T100s but never in a position to buy. Now I'm in a position to buy (stuck with a motorcycle as my only means of transportation right now actually), but I can include Tundras in the mix. I can probably answer a few of these questions myself by actually getting in the trucks but if I can narrow them down online that'll help me simplify my searching.

Anyway ~ the vehicle is going to be used in Alaska (bought in GA and driven to Seattle where it'll be shipped further north). Roads are 99% dirt washboard, off-road is marshy till you hit the permafrost. Winter is mild, but 4x4 is needed occasionally to get going (some snow, but nothing TO aweful deep). The area is FLAT, flat... flat so crawling isn't the primary goal. Fuel economy (such that it is with 4x4 trucks) does have some importance, no need for towing or any real heavy-duty work (though all my posessions will be packed in the bed while driven cross-country).

Anyway, I'm limited to about $15k to buy the truck and get it fully checked out/reliable which will buy my any T100 or 2000 Tundras with ~100k miles (either will need to be an Extended cab, 4x4 ~ hopefully with cruise and cloth interior). Based on this info, would one or the other be a Much better choice or ar they about equal? Does one have more driver leg/head room (I'm 6'4") ~ or will I be equally cramped/comfortable in both?

I'm going to try and get out to a dealer to drive a Tundra this weekend (likely one I won't spend the money on, but they don't need to know that). I'm going to start looking for a 4x4 T100 to drive aswell.... but there's nothing like getting some advise from a forum dedicated to the 2 trucks.

Thanks in advance!
