    Road trips are fun and you got to test the truck out. I'm coming from a 2500 too so the midsize thing is different. I like it tho.

    Just saw my first TRD Pro Tundra in the same inferno red. Cool dual exhaust but to be honest I thought it was pretty ugly.

    First tow today pulling out new Passport Ultra-Lite. The taco did really great over some some long mountain pulls and highway duty. Towed in S4 and easily hung at 70mph on the interstate. Gas mileage sucked at 8.5-9mpg, but that's to be expected. Solid first tow.

    It is a Blue OX Sway Pro. You'll note on the linked video that blue ox marks the weight capability by the number of dots on the control arms. Mine has two dots. The brake controller is the tekonsha p3 mounted in the dash with the ESP kit.

    My wife likes the Micro Minnie also. At only 7 ft wide, are extended mirrors or rear camera a must?

    We use of clip on mirrors. It s easier to see what is behind you having the mirrors a little further out.

    I just completed the first trip with my Lance 2285. Did a shorter run in case of any problems. Taco towed like a champ and I got over 11 mpg.

    We just ordered a 14 foot toy hauler from Dune Sport on Friday. With the options we chose, it should come to around 3500 dry. Thank you for your review. Makes me more content with the weight. I also drive slow anyway so 55-60 is my normal trailering speed.
