    Rain Visors,
    so i purchased a 2017 ccsb, TRD Sport And I have 1000 miles on it. And coming from a 3/4 full size here are my thoughts.

    1. The small size takes some getting used to, when I transferred all the stuff from my old truck to the new one. I had to leave a lot out- stuff I don’t need anyway but there is was less space.

    2. My three kids fit great in the back and glad I didn’t upsize because of that

    3. I love my MT, but the new engine requires me to rev it out slightly higher than I’m used to to get power from a truck. That being said I’ve been averaging 19 mpg.

    4. I keep kicking the door panel sliding my feet out, I don’t mind the driving position but getting out is a little annoying until I get used it it.

    And there’s me on a beach for a photo op

    I don't think I could fit my 3 (young) kids in the back comfortably. 2 are still in car seats, though, and one in booster.

    I'm at about the same mileage and I have no major complaints. But one minor annoyance is the radio antenna doesn't get great reception. I wouldn't have minded the ol' whip antenna. I only listen to talk radio, but keeps going in and out of HD (or no reception). I'll probably just end up turning off HD.

    I think what you are seeing is a railroad tie or post laid down to help keep the sand stable. It is between the truck and the water. IMO...
