    From Seattle to LA and back. On the trip back I was towing a rather large UHaul trailer loaded. My Taco did awesome.

    I did 10,000 KM's plus (6,214+ miles) 2 years ago, had 2 weeks off so decided to go for a drive, route is as follows:

    Calgary AB, Canada to Park City Utah
    Park City to Dallas Tx
    Dallas tx to Yuma Az
    Yuma Az to Reno NV
    Reno NV to Seattle WA
    Seattle WA to Calgary AB

    Didn't have a single issue on the trip, even got new tires an Oil Change in at Dallas Toyota and got some great shots of the truck.

    These trucks are meant to last!

    I always wondered: is it possible to drive halfway to Ireland from the east coast of the USA? Well, yes...it is.

    Vermont to just outside Goose Bay, Labrador. ~1400 miles, including ~400 miles of dirt. It was good to have spares.

    I did it in the summer. If you want to get away from civilization (and find some kick ass fishing) this is the way to do it.

    I drove from Elko Nevada to Dagsboro Delaware back in 2002. I think it was something like 2400 miles. I had a cap on the bed and had her loaded to the top. Great trip I think everyone should drive across the country at least once in their life.

    NJ to the Pacific Ocean, with a stop at Barstow, CA for some testing on the way back a couple years ago.

    These trucks hold up well over the road. Got a little underpowered at high altitudes but it held its own.

    from fort collins to athens alabama on a second trip............
    and from fort collins to lake tahoe to vancover on a third trip ..........
