Funny thing, today in my big brown truck, I was trying to back into a driveway out in the country, and I missed bad! One set of duals was on the driveway, as was the rear bumper, the other set was dangling in the snow drift. Very stuck..... About 10 minutes later the neighboring farmers kid comes over with his 3/4 ton Chevy and a tow strap and a big grin. On the first try the truck moved slightly and the tow strap broke. Of course he had a chain too. We hooked that up, and in about two seconds, without breaking a sweat, I was out of the ditch. Thank you Chevrolet and thank you farm dude. These country boys with jacked up trucks and big tires almost always have tools and chains and jumper cables. Whatever you might need. It makes me proud to be an American.

When your kids get bigger you'll have to upgrade to a truck.

My Knees dont hit front seat when sitting in back and 6.5ft bed for hauling quads was more important than a little discomfort for backseat passengers.Great price also.Now I can haul anything your Chevy 3/4ton can.Maybe more.

What kind of gas mileage will you get with that?

18mpg unloaded and my bet is 11mpg hauling trailer like my past one got.

Steve, what exactly is that? I'm not really up on Toyotas. My lease is up in just over a year, and I'm open to anything that works well. Be honest and keep us up to date on your real world gas mileage and trips back to the dealer to fix things under warranty.

Will do.It is a leftover 07 Tundra DBL cab Limited.I got them to $36,000 and they gave me $18,000 for my truck with 75,000mi on it.0% financing on the balance.This truck is rated as a 1/2ton but is more than capable of hauling anything a 3/4ton does.Brakes are unreal!Goes like mad.380hp and 440ftlbs I believe.Will be lining it up with Bergers Chipped Duramax Diesel next week.I am sure he will beat me after 100mph since chip gets rid of rev limiter but up to that its gonna be close.Also plan to hook up to his trailer.About same size as your Roger.Will let you know how it goes.Gotta break them in right
