Any comments? Any experience with this beast? Consumer Reports
gives it a
great
rating, and the damn thing will tow over 10K pounds.

Definitely. It makes perfect sense to spend $34,000 on a used truck
three
model years old and pay $700 more to get it here. Go for it!

Not to mention it's only a 2WD model.
If I was going that deep in the hole.... especially for a used truck, it
would be 4WD


And what would A RAV 4 grocery hauler station wagon driver know about
trucks?

Duh..... I only bought the RAV4 18 months ago after the lease on my Ford
Ranger 2WD expired.
After driving front wheel drive vehicles since 1984...... that truck
made me nervous in the snow.
The rear end sure liked to jump out..... I had 100 lbs of bagged sand in
the bed although I only had the original equipment all season tires.



What would an ID spoofing moron who lives in Florida or Georgia know
about snow?

We had a significant amount of snow here last winter. I was very glad we
had a 4WD vehicle in our "stable."
