After all y'all's comments about the 4WD, and the fact that I'm not too desirous
of a white truck, I went with this one:

Hopefully they'll leave that page up for a few days.

I drove it home last night. It drives well. But, it's definitely in a bigger
league than the 4Runner.

Now if I can just find a nice place for the "Save the Bay" bumper sticker.


I, for one, would be very interested in frequent updates, opinions,
and squawks. I'm seriously considering a K2500 or K3500 dually for a
replacement for the current truck....


I love this truck. I wish it had a little smaller turning radius, but so far
that's all I've got to complain about. And, now that I know how much room it
takes, even that's not a problem.

Towing that trailer, I get 35% better mileage than I got with the 4Runner. On
the highway, I'm getting between 20 and 21 mpg. That's better than the 4Runner
by about a gallon. Can't complain, given the size of the turbo diesel. It's
comfortable, roomy, and I'm thrilled with it.
