    Lol. The Tundra is not mine it's my buddy's @eborgie. We used his truck to grab my 4Runner when I bought it. I still have my Tacoma but you should think of it this way, buy a Tundra and you can use it for product development and fitment in a whole new Toyota market.

    We released sliders today for them! :)

    Bumpers next on the list. And yes, I estimate in 2-3 years I'll be getting out of the F150 and into a crewmax TRD PRO. That's assuming Toyota gets their shit together and get with the technology advancements in fuel management and forced induction. I looked at Tundras but damn, 13/15 mpg? Cmon son! I understand they're big trucks but so is the F150 and I get 18/22 mpg with the 5.0 V8. Now towing a space shuttle, can't do that in the Ford. Haha

    I don't think so...I don't get to drive the truck much at all, unfortunately. I have a company service van that I drive 90% of the time. I only get the truck out on the weekends, or camping. When I'm in Woonsocket, I'm in my service van. But keep an eye out, you never know, flag me down if you see my truck

    Gobi roof rack. Icon coilovers, Icon tubular UCAs, FOX 2.0 rear shocks, Icon 3-leaf progressive AAL.
    This is the only picture I have of the truck and trailer together.





    This is a Keystone Passport ML 199. Dry weight 3595 pounds and hitch weight is 385. The trailer can carry an additional 1695 pounds, but I don't plan on doing that. This is the lightest trailer I could find with two axels--but more importantly also had most of what my wife and I wanted.

    You can see from the picture that with the weight distribution hitch the rear end does not drup. Two years ago I installed an Icon 3-leaf AAL and this year reinstalled the stock overload.

    I can't tell much difference in normal braking. However, hard braking does require more stopping distance. There is no tailgating. Getting up to speed requires more time. The transmission shift at a higher RPM. The worse case is entering an limit access highway where the on ramp is up hill. In this case I push the truck hard and am able to get it up to at least 60mph. Most drivers are polite and slide into the left lane. If the road is level, I have no problem getting up to 65 or 70. I've not checked my gas mileage while pulling. I'll do that on my next trip.

    I agree, I like to camp with no one else around.

    I like to avoid all campgrounds, dispersed area use.
