OK, some folks want to call it a 'truck'.

Yup, looks like a truck to me. Same color as Don's too.

Duh!
That is a 1st generation model.
My model is more like your wife's Highlander in size.
Sorry to disappoint you but my colour is a

bronze/brown..........
pyrite mica to be exact.

Herring bought a truck four times the size he needed to tow his

boat. D'oh.

And/or his camper. There's a good reason why too. Pulling his

camper
with the Highlander the fuel mileage was anywhere from 8-12 mpg.

the
diesel pickup gets double the mileage pulling either one, plus

you not
only gain on the braking factor, but also the pulling response

behind
a duramax is like the truck isn't pulling anything. Better

safety,
better economy, less wear and tear and less carbon footprint.

good decision.





Depends on how often and how far one tows one's camper, eh?


Absolutely incorrect, Dumbo,eh?
