    All that's good for is the infield at a NASCAR race
    The older I get, the better I was. I also forget my password and have to have Len reset it for me

    The reason they built the deer stand on the Toyota, was
    Cause it would not run so they figured they would get SOME use out if it.

    If not, then it knows winter. Winter when deer season is DUMWAD, which is WHEN one might actually use a deer stand, which is what we were discussing.........

    SO, if you want to follow me around in deer season next year, we'll discuss trucks at the end of the year. We both have camera phones. SO, totally fair. I'm game.

    I wasn't even going to do this........but when the salesman brought the truck to the house, the guy across the street came over to look at it. He was impressed. Then he said "I bought that new Toyota pickup (pointing to his driveway) last year. It's a decent truck but MAN what a gas hog!!! I wish I had my Chevy back".

    True story ... when we first sent U.S. Special Forces into Afghanistan, they were given a choice of ANY vehicle they wanted. The LAST thing they wanted was a breakdown! Guess what they chose? Just sayin'.

    Note: They bought these right off the lot at a stateside Toyota dealer to be out-fitted.

    That's cool.

    Bring it on. Follow me. Let me know which one you like best, at the end. I'm not pre-deciding, no matter how much you are!!! Bring it on.

    P.S.
    For the jillioneth time, there is more to owning a machine than reliability. Stainless steel loafers would be reliable.

    You tickle me to death.

    OK, you come get my trailer and pull it in your TOY truck and put all the stuff that I carry in it, and we'll go do stuff somewhere!

    Those are nice pics.......of dirty trucks on level ground hauling a 150 lb machine gun. Wow. Really impressive truck stuff.

    Tell ya what. You bring that TOY truck to the farm with me, and drive around for about a week.........and then we'll talk about reliable your truck is.

    Whoa! It spun the tires (barely) on dirt and loose gravel!

    Try to hold a 'Yota back on pavement!



    But don't get too heavy into the throttle unless you have the fire department standing by.

    I'll smoke every truck you guys have shown a picture of so far with my Titan. Literally.
    If we all threw our problems in a pile, and you saw everyone else's problems-- you'd take yours back.

    Or travel trailers to pull. Or huge loads to haul. Or exhaust brake switches to turn on. Or touch screens to use. Or seats to heat and cool. Or steering wheels to heat. Or cattle trailers to pull.

    Sure glad you guys' toy trucks go fast in one spot. That's so cool!

    Is that not a Chevy?

    And that's nothing. Geez. That just takes a motor. All of 'em have a motor.

    I don't see it pulling anything up that hill, though. Or hauling much. What's the point of a truck?

    It's not really a truck, but very close to it. It has about every option Bucky's new truck has and can seat 8.
    Has a ride like a Lincoln, much more comfortable than my old 08 GMC.
    All the stuff I use can be stored inside but still can load a 4x8 sheet of plywood and close all the doors.
    With it's heavy duty hauling package it's rated at 9000lbs. The 5.4 engine gave me 19.5 mpg on our trip to FL. a few weeks ago.
    I know a diesel get's a little better mpg, but with it's fuel costing about 60 cents a gal. more, it just about evens out.
    And the very bestest thing is it's a FORD
    The older I get, the better I was. I also forget my password and have to have Len reset it for me

    Bucky, I will freely admit that my Tundra (an older '04 model) has two weaknesses. First, it's a complete gas hog at 12-14 mpg around town. Second, it's turning radius is god awful. That being said, I'll put it's towing, pulling and four wheeling ability up against any similiarly powered pick up on the market.

    No Bucky it's a Toyota and unlike any GM product I've ever owned (and there's been quite a few), the Toyota is pulling it's own weight.

    Bubba ... you DO realize FORD is a 4-letter word, don't you?

    Of course there are the old stand-bys:

    Found On Road Dead and Fix Or Repair Daily.

    Certainly not First On Race Day!
