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?


You freakin' idiot, it makes no difference how often and how far he tows
the camper. If he tows it one mile or one million miles, he's still
getting better mileage.


What did you expect from a liberally educated man? Logic? sense?
reasoning? honesty? etc. I was reading one of the "What can the liberal
arts graduate bring to the bargaining table" websites and, believe it or
not, some of the highlighted skills are *manipulation, deception,
ambiguity, stretching and bending facts. Some of the best and brightest
among them become lawyers. The rest go on to be writers and manuscript
editors.
