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.- Hide quoted text -

Yiikes... are you really that stupid?
If Johnny only towed his trailer/boat 5 miles from his house to his
favourite campground or launch... how could you justify the extra
expense of the big diesel truck compared to the useable Highlander,
that he already owned?
If you would only quit playing with your 'little head' and give your
'big head' a shake, things might make more sense.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Now it is the expense of the truck. My diesel truck gets 19 mpg
highway,
cost $45k new. My 99' Ford Expedition got about 15.5 highway and cost
$42k.
My wife's 2009 Venza cost $36k and gets about 24 highway. If you can
afford
to buy an expensive vehicle you buy it because you like it. My friend
has
a
Lexus wagon so he can haul his 2 Rottweiler's, he wanted another Audi
but
they did not make the wagon type when he bought. He gets 13mpg on
average.
So just because the vehicle is smaller does not mean it gets better
mileage.
Why would somebody buy a Porsche Cayenne when they could buy the same
car
body as a VW tourag. They may be able to afford a luxury car. Just
because
you can not afford a better car or better boat, do not knock others
choices.- Hide quoted text -

You in the sauce again Swill??
Who says I can't afford something larger or 'better'??
------------------------------------------------------------------
I say you can not afford better ****! You bitch about a **** poor pension
from a government corporation. In other words the taxpayers pay your
pittance. If you did not judge others by your or your sons love of
alcoholic beverages, you would be both smarter and richer. Especially
with
the taxes Canada applies to alcohol.- Hide quoted text -

You simple swiller.
I made all the contributions to my crown Corp pension for the last ten
years of my working life. Interest earned on the funds investments
paid the Corporations share.

----------------------------------------------
does not mean there is not taxpayer money going to your pension also. You
sucking at the public money swill pile. And just because you get a pension,
does not mean you can afford a better / bigger truck.- Hide quoted text -

Duh!
What part of 100%employee funded pension didn't you understand?
The Corp used to contribute slightly more than half.. but didn't do so
for years.
I could have bought a Ford F150 basic truck or a Chev/GMC equivalent
for about 7 grand less than my RAV4 cost.
That is a regular cab and 8 foot box with 2WD, 6 cyl engine, auto
transmission + air conditioning.

You really got screwed on that deal!
