    I construct ice roads in the winter and prepare oil and gas drilling sites, here are a few pictures of the truck working. Note average temperatures are around -40. I pulled out three F350's and was the only truck that didnt have one problem starting up. At the end of each day, about 4 inches of ice was built up on the whole underside of the truck and wheel wells, the suspension stops working as it freezes up and can't move but my 07 taco now has two winters in, 175,000km's and is still purring like a kitten

    The deer stand that I am sitting in taking this picture was in my Tacoma. I plan to get some other pics of my truck being put to work during hunting season.
    And yes that is my uncle's hand flipping off the camera.

    yeah, looks that way but by dimension the trailer holds about 80 cu. ft. if flush with the top of the sides, and the truck just a bit over 40 cu ft. A cord comes up at 128, so its pretty damn close by my math. i also like to make sure it doesnt come up short for the customers so they'll call again the next year. a sure way of ensuring consistent business.:cool:

    HAHA unfortunately none, I have pulled out 3 f-350's. Everyone up there buys Ford, they figger the bigger the better but I keep proving them otherwise. It's funny they all give me a hard time for my baby truck, then trun around and complain about fuel prices...
