    Just wanted to share how my lil truck saved my basement and my back.
    We had a nasty ice storm here Thursday night which knocked power out all night and have had a few roll outs since they restored the power,lots of power lines are still badly damaged.

    Anyhoot we have a sump pump in our basement which fills up pretty fast and goes off quite a bit so when the power went off I paniced. My wife started bailing it while I got home from work,once I got home I decided to try running an extension cord from my basement sump pump to my truck to see if that would work and to my surprise it did!
    Every hour that night I had to go outside start the truck up and wait for my pump to discharge the water out,it was a little slow but saved my already screwed up back allot. Bigs props to my taco,none of my full sizes ever had such a neat feature. Needless to say today I went shopping for a generator :D
