I tow with mine all the time. A Barefoot Nautique - 19 ft Center Console and even pulled a 27 Warlock to the Atlanta Boat Show back in 1999. BH

PS: The camper top is actually my dog house complete with air condition (dryer hose from the vent on the dash - haha)

I had a Toyota truck that went 210,000 and still ran strong when I sold it. It was used in construction which means it got used. If my Ford F350 lasts half that and holds up anywhere near the Toy, I'll consider myself fortunate. To bad they don't make a 1 ton truck, I'd be the first in line.

Hey BH, 1988 S-10 with 293,458 miles= use to pull a 53 ft dry box with it but now it's retired to yard work and going to the dump.


Who me I've never lied in my life, I'll have you know I'm a truck driver and that offends me.

I sold Toyotas for 4 years. If I got a good ole boy or young person I would take them to a place back in the woods that had mud and steep hills. About 1/2 hour they were ready to go sign any paper I put in front of them. You could not stop those trucks. The detail guys hated me and I even stopped by the carwash before going back.

Those older v6 motors had a design flaw where they would blow head gaskets around 150k. I tried selling new trucks to the first fewof those owners in the service drive. After they found out Toyota would stand behind it they wouldn't consider a newer one. 150k and they backed them!

Wildfire:

Awesome truck there dude - Maybe find the original wheels and get her back stock? What did you pay for that beast?

Gator:

I had the head gasket deal and Toyota fixed it for free. I had the timing belt replaced at 60,000 miles and that's about it for anything major. Still got the same clutch - one set of brakes - 3 set's of Goodyears. BH

Was this a spinoff of the "hillbilly wind tunnel" project?

No, that for when he goes to the mall shopping and they won't let his pup in, he leaves the truck running so his pup will stay cool. Couldn't resist that one BH, at least I didn't say when Ashley drags your ass to the mall.
