No, I'm not buying a Toyota so don't even suggest it.

Who me?

Frankly I think you'd like it after you got one. Just my 2 cents
worth.


I'd consider one. In fact, I have. I just don't care for the styling.

To me, long term reliability and durability are a lot more important
than styling unless the appearance is truly butt ugly. Styles come
and go but I like to buy vehicles that will still be around and
running well in ten years, kind of like a Grand Banks trawler. :-)


True enough. I'll look at them again next the next time I get the itch for
a new truck.

Hey ... are the exterior rails on the GBs teak or mahogany? Gene asked
about finishing teak and I wasn't sure what the wood was. I wonder because
the ones on Mrs.E's GB were refinished 3 years ago using a varnish that
still reveals the wood grain rather than Cetal that hides it and they have
held up very well. If they are teak, whatever the marina guys used is good
stuff and sticks to the oily teak.
