My Week on the 2016 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition

2016 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition

 

Saying Goodbye is not an  easy thing to do. Saying goodbye the second time around is even a bit more heartbreaking than the first. You see my son left for  College a couple of weeks ago, for the second time.Although I’m thrilled, saying goodbye, the second time around was harder than the first. He needs me less and is  more self-sufficient this time around. Which is great, but as a parent its hard to accept.  He also was more aware of what he needed to pack ( really needed) for his dorm. we found our self’s  needing  a bigger vehicle one in which  we could  load all in one trip. We  were so grateful to Toyota for sending us the beautiful and spacious 2106 Tundra 1794 Edition so I can help him move back to College.

The Tundra is very spacious with a very, very roomy interior, equipped with XM Sirus  Satellite Radio, dual zone climate control  , cooling and heating seats leather trimmed seats and lumbar support. You can seat three people in front if needed and five in the back. So to say the least it s very spacious. Which was perfect for us as the morning of the move it began raining ( I know, what are the odds? , it never  rains in Phoenix).

We loaded the back cabin  and away we went as he had to be in line at 6 a.m for move in. We arrived in style as the  Tundra is  visually captivating first off with its gorgeous  color in sunset bronze mica and its power attitude superb  safety features  like its  8 airbags, blind spot monitor, anti-lock brake technology, electronic brake force distribution and smart start technology to name a few we felt safe driving  in the rain.

After I took my son back to College I decided rather than staying home and being sad, with the  Tundra as my transportation mode I would attend the kick-off of Arizona Restaurant Week which is held September 16th -26th  ( This statewide affair offers foodies a wealth of dining opportunities and the chance to get outside their own neighborhood and try something new for a great price and help our local restaurants which employee great people )   so off we went to our first stop Cafe ZuZu inside  Valley Ho in Downtown Scottsdale. The Hotel’s decor  transports you to the era of glam and glitz, its culinary creations to heaven.
