    All this diet talk...despite the few adult beverages, s'mores and ice cream this weekend I am down 2.6lbs from when we left on Friday. Gotta love the spike in the T3 and leptin levels :)

    Lucky for me the Wendy's here screws up my order every single time so I'm kinda turned off on what used to be one of my fave places. I also ditched my cable awhile back & don't have to worry about the commercial part. :eek:

    haha thats pretty much me whenever I go home. Everyone want's to try to sneak in a meal with me at some point, so I'm constantly eating even if I'm not hungry. Good thing is that I can still walk into my two gyms whenever so I can put those meals to work.

    Alright, well looks like the wife has really taking a liking to camping and 4 wheeling. She has put out the feelers for a toy hauler and now I am going to trade the Tacoma for something with a little more towing power. How do the Tundras do or should I look more towards a diesel?

    With a toy hauler 5th wheel get a diesel. A smaller bumper pull would be ok with The tundra. Trust me I have several buddies who bought toy haulers with a gas truck and they all want to sell for a diesel. Toy haulers have bigger water tanks than almost any bumper pull which is nice for camping but it weighs it down. The gas truck will pull them ok but not half as good as a diesel and the bigger trucks stop the big toy haulers better.


    Sorry for the edits I'm at work. :p

    I am looking at bumper pulls right now, but if I found a good deal on a 5th wheel I wouldnt pass it up. leaning towards a tundy or dodge 2500 diesel. not sure yet.

    I love my Tundra! Great truck with lots of power, and accessories.

    Toy hauler? How about towing 292k lbs?

    Yeah I still say if you are going a toy hauler to get a diesel. You will be much happier. Look out of state, one of my buddies just went to Idaho and got a crazy deal on his 5th wheel toy hauler. My dad just picked up a crossroads sunset reserve. It's not a toy hauler but its a bad ass bumper pull. He is pulling it with a 2013 f150 lariat Eco boost. But again it's not a toy hauler.

    Yeah but it didn't pull it at 75mph up i70 or down i70 and have to stop it. Love the tundra but its a child's toy when it comes to pulling things against a diesel.

    Looking at something like this Devin
    http://denver.craigslist.org/rvs/3949778919.html

    And ya I feel ya, I think I would rather have a diesel as well. better to have more torque and power than just barely enough. especially with the elevation and mountains.

    Nice yeah that's not too big. You could get away with the Tundy but then you upgrade the toy hauler later to a bigeye one and have to buy another truck later. My buddies all started out small and now have dual rear axle big mother effers. That's why I haven't bought one yet all the guys I work with have huge ones that sleep 8-12 and we all go together so I borrow a bed.

    Haha! Yeah it's nice 3 people on my shift have huge you haulers. Any toy hauler is nice because of the extra sleeping area you get from The "toy hauling" area. But now I have the RTT so I sleep in my tent and just use their campers for the amenities.

    If u see a Dodge pulling a space shuttle 75mph up the 70, LMK lol!

    I'm just saying it could pull a toy hauler without issues based from the pix and stories I've read on 2 Tundra forums

    It can do it. But not half as good as a diesel. That's why the guy I'm siting next to at work right now is selling his Tundy for a diesel. And hes buying a bigger toy hauler next year as well. I like the tundra as much as the next person and would love to have one its just comparing apples to oranges.
