Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

My trailer is 5 x 10 but TALL (6' inside...) so up in the wind. Pulls 'heavy'. I checked and did some fancy calculations and I am getting about 15MPG which means I should get 300 miles, but I am gun shy on the low gas light. Traumatized as a kid by my dad who would run the gage all the way down and keep going. Stranded more than once in the middle of no where by this method. I hope you don't go 300 non stop... My innerds are typically screaming after two hours.

 

mine is 6.5' inside. I considered a 6' trailer but smashed my head going through the side door and decided I was getting the taller one.

I usually don't go that far non stop but it just depends. I've run 400+ before unloaded straight through coming back from Colorado.

when I was towing with my tacoma, I usually kept 10 gallons in the bed of the truck.

 

Damn... i'm leaving for Arkansas for mountain biking on Saturday. My parents live right over the state line so i'm gonna spend 5 days out there with a few friends near Bentonville.
I am dreading the fuel cost but at least friends have to split it

 

I spent Spring break in the Ozark National forest. Not far from Bentonville there is some excellent riding and no people... Its a bit more rustic, but worth the drive. Also some fantastic country and wheeling to be had! Done Bentonville before, but the Buffalo River area is more my style as it feels remote (it is) and the trails are not as polished... Go check out the Fire Tower trail... and right around the corner is the 4x4 trail down to Dixon Ford. Some pictures for your viewing pleasure:

 

Awesome thanks for that update.

I’ve been to the Bentonville area a few times so I’m definitely looking for a new spot to try out for riding.

Hoping to also get the truck into some mud while I’m down there. Trying to find some primitive camping spots also so I’m not stuck in a campground over the holiday.


I figure I should post a picture of my truck too as I’ve made a few posts here but haven’t shown off the rig.

It’s in the early stages but it’s a TRD Pro. Just installed 33inch KO2s on it.

Also have a Softopper on the bed and a sleeping platform for some camping

 

Right across from the trail head is an amazing camp site! Literally, across the road.



If you come from Bentonville, drop down to the Erbie crossing of the Buffalo river... Amazing road down and a serious pucker factor crossing... then climb back up and over to the trailhead at Knuckles Creek. The Dixon Ford trail is "scratchy with deep mud holes" from a fellow TW Arkansas member. I found it to be fun. Enormous mud holes and, yes, scratchy... Make sure you continue down to Carwash Falls...

 

What are these friends you speak of and where does one acquire them?

 

Not Iowa

 

I'll be Shellshock's friend after he sets me up with the OVtune. Iowa is calling my name I suppose .

 

nice front plate mount

 

It's definitely worth it

At this price... Might be worth it

 

Ahhh... but there's a mod for that

 

Form Lighting my dude.

Not sure what their direct link is, maybe @Diode Dynamics (parent company/brand) can help us out here

 

I really like my Factory LED Headlights and can be swapped in. There is info somewhere in the 3rd gen section.

 

I've got led bulbs in my factory headlights from Lasfit. They're pretty freaking bright

 

Yeah, I when I had my 2018 I was very unimpressed with the light output and that's why I spec'd the LEDs when I ordered the 2020. Plus the sequential turn signals were a cool bonus. Watch for the %25 off Toyota parts sales.
