    It does well. It isnt finished yet. So, I havent weighed and checked mpg yet. Going up decent hills, I can maintain 55-60. When all is said and done, I will probably keep mph to 55.
    There are a bunch of pics ↓. Does well in rain, havent hit ice. Multiple builds in thread.

    Chain up a braking axle on the trailer if you are running chains on the truck.

    I go out regularly here in the PNW winter tires are definitely a must.

    Ive never used chains, only towed 3-4k behind the taco. 4wd whenever it's slick, lots of extra stopping room, and slower than you think you should be going.

    I ran treadwrights on my Tacoma, I was really impressed with then on snow/ice. They were noisy on dry pavement, but I built based on off roading so it was a decent tradeoff

    Its great, 19,000 BTU forced air keeps things toasty even on the coldest nights. The tires are junk but they are easily replaced since they are a standard size.
