    I think 17 is still high, not to be a douche. Is it all highway? 4.6 or 5.7?

    My v6 F150 company truck gets around 16-17 combined mpg, id imagine a v8 tundra would get less. Especially if it had all terrains instead of hwy tires

    Ya I have no complaints. The trans is always trying to downshift. But the only time you really can tell its a v6 is when you hammer it..otherwise it has plenty of power. Haven't towed with it, but ive had the bed loaded up and 4 people in the truck. Never really noticed the weight in the bed or from a the people.

    Quote from Rich, the FJNE prez. We shared a hotel room, no way in hell I'm camping in 30 degree weather

    Shout out your favorite quotes from the weekend -- or moments.

    My list is pretty long but one of my favorites was walking out of the bathroom after a tough time at that horrible diner.

    Alex is standing outside looking quite ill, bracing himself against the wall. He wasn't drunk, but he did drink something that didn't agree with him.

    I hosed the bathroom down with Axe spray out of mercy, and I told him
    "Just get it out, you will feel better."

    I don't remember what he said, but then I told him...

    "Just think of boiled hot dogs and garlic & bacon ice cream."

    I think he said; "Oh no..."

    A few second later, he was talking to Ralph on the big white phone and I was out the door faster than Tom going after a Happy Meal.

    Good times, good times...

    This dark beer called Milk Stout. It's a local NJ brew. Really good actually! It was just really heavy and I chugged a 22 because I wanted to finish it and go to bed. It didn't agree with me. It got too heavy, I couldn't burp anymore, and out it came haha. I wasn't like black out drunk. It was my only beer that hour. I could have driven in my condition, most of the alcohol came out anyway lol.
