    Thought it would be good to say "Howdies!" for the first time. Maybe you've seen me before? ;)

    Yes, it's a 1998 T-100 SR5 xtra cab auto 2WD with over 429,000 miles on the original engine, transmission, and catalytic converter. I've been experimenting with this former work truck for over 6 years now. I save between $500-$700 a year driving with my aero mods. My savings have already paid for the initial cost and maintenance of the truck and trailer. No modifications to the engine or drivetrain. I can return the truck to full stock in about an hour. No extra holes drilled in the frame or body. ;)

    With the trailer attached, I am getting close to 30mpg at 65mph. I still have more tweaks to make to pass the 30mpg mark. ;)

    Well...I can spot my truck in the parking lot faster. ;)

    I get better gas mileage towing the trailer than without. ;)

    Yes...only with the trailer attached. I only park the rig in the furthest spaces where no one usually parks. How many trucks pulling trailers take up a single space? ;)

    I get that a lot. I even installed dual air shocks on the hitch so the trailer hardly bumps the truck when traveling with it. The single wheel in the back usually gets people turning their heads around trying to figure out how it works. ;)
