    ok a little intro...I always have been a dodge full size pu man and my brother an always Toyota guy. Back and forth we would go using whichever ride provided the best alternative. He goes back to the 85 first gen that lasted fooorrreverr. Meanwhile 3 different dodges later I bought the “office”. All of them could haul elk but the office was the most comfortable. He decides it’s time to retire the 85...332984 miles later...he buys a 13 taco long bed”...don’t need no stinking turd when this has all I need..Not paying for the sticker”...he said...the self anointed toyo expert. Then 2 years later...he died...my world changed. The “office”, long hated by the wife...diesel stinks, to rough a ride...whatever...now what. Driving down the road one day...there is a 13 Barcelona red, leer cap to match, long bed, 75k, 4x4 with a tow package. “You know your truck is to big for you now...don’t need to carry that much blah blah blah” she says. Since I’m sliding into retirement, my life in the woods has changed...I bought the ride. Have taken it on several long trips, into the woods, up rocky logging roads and to cities...all good. The wife raves about...”let’s by a trailer and go to the national parks the dog can hang out there”. So one big door slammed shut on my life and a new one is slowly opening. So far you guys are great with advice and encouragement...happy to be here
