    And competent off road! Last Saturday it was time to rip out old fence and put up new for the horses so SnowTaco got broken in both hauling and off road in the pasture. Close to 1000lbs in the back and barely noticed it. Love this truck!

    I have had a truck for well over 10 years (previous was a sport trac so enjoying the extra foot in the bed). I had a hard decision between 4Runner with a utility trailer and Taco, glad I went Taco!

    under its own power, its a bit scary on the steep hills (you stand on the back of it) but damn that thing is an adult tonka toy. Only $150/weekend for rental/delivery/pickup including a grading implement.

    We used to use one of those landscaping and an adult Tonka toy is the best description I've ever heard for it! It was scary to get off the trailer and to load on the trailer, otherwise it was actually fun to use.

    OH I have no clue so I will assume they did because I estimated the weight withe the guy at Tractor Supply and we were real close to a grand and it rode fine, even with the sag.

    sadly the more you use it, the worse it gets. it will start to sag with less and less weight. i got my truck used in ’11 and it use to not sag as much as it dose now.

    I've had airbags on mine for 18 mos...no on-board compressor...but they fit my needs very well and hold air great (i.e. no leaks ... so far).

    Taken towards end of winter, pardon the grime.

    Ride Rite Airbags. Lots of good reviews on these, can pump them up manually or get a compressor.
