Trade in for a Tundra…

The RAV4 and other toy hybrids sure get rave reviews. The added boast in power is a bonus. If the Tundra had a hybrid with excellent gas mileage I certainly wouldn’t hesitate buying a used one once it depreciates the outrageous price they ask for a new one. That’s currently not the case.

According to this review the 2025 Tundra doesn’t get that much better mpg than the non hybrid. Where the current hybrid excels is the boast in power.

 
Tundra’s are freaking awesome.

But your year/engine of Ford is proving to be quite reliable.

I don’t think you gain anything trading in for a Tundra. I think it will cost you a lot more than if you had a couple of repairs on your ford.

Taxes, tires. Plus the resale value is crazy on Toyotas so that’s a pro for you selling it but a con for buying it.

Gas mileage is probably better on your current truck.

If you do get the Tundra you have to get the 38 gallons gas tank.
 
I have a 2018 Tundra 5.7, very reliable. My only complaint is the seats and brakes. If you spill a drop off water on the seats it leaves some horrible stains. The brakes seem to wear out fast. If I could do it over I would have gotten a 2017, less computer stuff on them.

I would absolutely stay with what you have.
You gain neither lower miles, better fuel economy, knowledge of the history of the vehicle and give up any sort of 'truck' capability but the Toyota glazers will love you for it.
My F150 with the 3.5 Eco just turned 186k over the weekend....I have only put new exhaust manifolds and two coil packs in that time and like you, it rides and drives as smoothly as new.
My Tacoma at that stage was rotting from the inside and needed significant mods just to make it down a fire road.
