My current 07 Tundra Reg Cab, was purchased from a Ford dealer. We have owned it for over 4 years, no issues. My son's 08 Tundra DC, which I bought him when he graduated from college, was purchased at an Infiniti dealership. My 4runner came from a Ford dealer, I have owned it for over 9 years, with no issues.

For example, someone trades a Chevy for a new Tundra, the Toyota dealership will sell the Chevy to a local Chevy dealer because they can flip it quickly and the Chevy will bring more money on the Chevy lot. Because of the fact that most people like to buy used from the same brand dealership, the dealerships actually sell the trade ins to the branded dealerships. Just because the Toyota is sitting on a Toyota lot, doesn't mean it was traded in there. I have several friends in the automobile dealership business. Am I just out of the park in my preference to buy used Toyota vehicles from Toyota dealerships in hopes that the person was happy with Toyota and therefore traded in on a new one? I've done a bit of searching here and on the web but haven't seen this concept discussed. I ask this because I've been looking for 2 weeks now but have had trouble finding a used Tundra with my specs: 2013, 2015-2017, 4x4, Double Cab, nearly any color besides black, somewhere in the $30k range, less than 60k miles.

For example, my father has been a Toyota fan since 2005 but is considering a new Silverado because in his mind the Silverado is 'a good truck' based on his last memories from purchasing a new one in the 1970s. * Of note, I have no data to support my theory and recognize there might be other reasons folks trade in Toyotas for different brands (features, MPG, price, ignorance, etc.). In short, when looking for a used Tundra, would you avoid purchasing a used Tundra from Dodge, Chevy or Ford dealerships? I've always purchased used Toyotas from either private sellers or Toyota dealerships with the presumption/theory that any Toyota at a Dodge, Chevy or Fort dealership ended up being traded in there because the owner wasn't happy with and/or had issues/mechanical problems with their Toyota trade-in.*
