    I changed the oil in my neighbor's pressure washer for years. No way was I having him seize it up and make me buy my own.

    Morning
    Did a little reminiscing yesterday working on the garage storage.
    I pulled my grandfather’s car toolbox out and opened it up. Immediately smelled his garage and
    all the memories started coming back. Grabbed every tool and remembered what he used it on.
    Lots of good memories..

    4Runners are great rigs. Very versatile. As long as you don't expect good MPG or for it to be fast, you won't be disappointed.

    The ride is a bit better in a 4Runner, but yeah. Same platform and all that jazz.

    I knew I was buying a gas hog, my Tacoma was the same but not quite as bad. Fortunately it won’t have to be driven a lot, vacation tow rig.
    Plus it easer to drive with less blind spots, I ain’t 29 anymore

    Is it enclosed? The wind resistance will punch your MPG if it's pulling a sail, but that's true for any rig. Plan ahead, leave early, and don't tow faster than 60-65 MPH and the 4Runner will get you there and back for years to come.
