    I do as well. I don’t know about the price but I love everything else about it. Best I’ve seen out of my truck MPG wise is 19 so it wouldn’t be too big of a downgrade. But I love the size of the taco.

    You have all good valid points. Camping and TOWING is a big deal for you.

    Mine is a 2013 4.0. I installed the supercharger myself when it had 1700 miles on it. I will say probably 75-80% of the time it’s only hauling me to work. I haul a party boat, sled trailer, and tractor rarely. Well, party boat every weekend in the summer.

    When you can easily pick the guy out of a line...

    That is just too funny. :rofl:

    If he is still there in 25 years people will still bring that up. :D

    My boy had the 5.7. Towed good. Race car and trailer..
    He has a 2500hd now and says it tows better.
    I haven’t towed with the 2500 so I can’t compare

    That would be a rough one for the Supe too.

    Imagine every time there is a new person in a meeting:
    "Hey, wasn't it one of your guys who fell off the can...?"

    I’m not about that 2500hd life. Awesome for those who need it, way overkill for turds like me.

    My 5.7 Tundra drags my 8.8k 5th wheel 750 miles each fall and spring. I see no need for a 3/4 ton whatever.

    The only thing lacking is it's harder to park than the Tacoma and it sucks in the trails.

    I'm actually looking for a replacement '21 Tundra as I type. I have no love for the new Tundra.

    As you guys know, I backdoor'ed my way into my 2500hd gasser. But it's a nice little niche for us, the larger truck and increased towing capacity while not having to pay the extra that diesel costs. I love the air conditioned seats, essential in Florida. I really wanted to love the Tundra but after I test drove one w a 3 inch lift on All-terrains and the computer said 9.6 miles per gallon, it didn't make sense.
    My 6.0 gets 12+ miles a gallon, and I've got power to burn.
    I think if I totalled it tomorrow I'd buy another gas 2500.

    Just for clarity, falling off the toilet was the OSHA recordable incident?

    What was his explanation. Never heard of a fully grown adult falling off a toilet before.

    Good Morning everyone :hattip: May your backside stay firmly on the shitter today and everyday :thumbsup:

    His leg fell asleep while in position, went to stand up and fell over and rolled his ankle before he realized it was numb. Had to go to our hospital facility for x rays. Light duty. I'll share a story about this guy later today.
