    I would not even think of towing that much with one of these trucks for long distances. These trucks are way to light tow that kind of weight for long distances. Cant say much more than that.

    That's why I did a 6 1/2 SPO lift to the trailer. Lol.
    Many trailers out there are lifted. Just look at toy haulers. I drag mine deep off road. Needed the extra clearance.

    Real nice chicken there. We used to raise them, kill, clean, bag them up and take them camping. They make a real nice camp dinner.

    This. Most people don't realize that you lose ~3% power per 1000 ft elevation because of the decrease in atmospheric pressure. If you're in CO chances are that you're over 6000 ft elevation; the mean elevation is 6800 ft per google. So you're going to be down 20% on HP in CO if you're lucky. At 10K ft you're down 30%. Which is why I said good luck pulling the grade to the Eisenhower tunnel. I-70 west out of Denver climbs to over 11k ft to reach the tunnel; in the summer the side of the road is always littered with overheated tow vehicles.

    All say so, it was just a joke and someone got all butthurt over it. Really, like the Tacoma is a pile of shit. Always lots of fun on TW. Take care Brother.

    Right on, I could have really gone off all psychotic and acted all butthurt about it, but when I read his reply, I honestly started cracking up out load. Never a dull moment here Brother.
