    All my rigs are purpose built. From crawling to camping. I also enjoy a nice stock truck for what that’s worth. Toyota’s are the jam!
    It will most certainly cause you to almost wreck. Not that I almost wrecked looking at my ScanGauge.

    Totally get it... There's a lot of burn out and what I would consider ridiculous working hours/balance in the industry. I am in a different niche with its own nuances but not nearly the shit conditions. You got any sweet headphones you wear at work? My wife found these https://www.plugfones.com/

    Found me a Camper, took a while but scored a great deal on this 17' thing smells new still..dealer that had it was 10 miles from my land so score there too. The Taco pulled it alright, but of course the engine was struggling, also had to pull my swing out off so i could turn...defiantly re-thinking things now.

    I had to get a looong hitch to tow my camper with my swingout - here's what I ended up with: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007M308U/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - that put the ball far enough back that I could actually back up my camper without jacknifing on the spare. I still had to move the jack and propane tank though. My camper's a Forest River Wolf Pup 16BHS.

    When you tow, put it in s4 / ect and use the fuck out of that skinny pedal. Don't be afraid to floor it on an onramp. I know you're selling and looking to upgrade to a Tundra, but still, your Taco's got a Minnie.

    The Minnies are good trailers, she'll do you well. My boss loves his Minnie, they're good trailers. I upgraded my stabilizers to have ones like the Minnie has, and they're better for winter too. What layout did you get?

    Just re-thinking my setup, may want to tow the camper to State Parks ect. Not exactly the ideal tow vehicle...although while the Dakars laugh at the camper, the engine cries...
