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:

http://tinyurl.com/2a7lejw

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.

Hope you're having a great day!

Spiffy Truck. Will it fit in your garage?

It's supposedly the same length as my last truck, which left about three inches
to spare. I marked the side of a shelf so I'd know where to line the right
mirror up.

This thing even has a switch to pull the side mirrors in for clearance. Unreal.
I've not read the book yet, so I don't know all the features it's got. It looks
like it's going to be harder to figure out than a digital camera.

Would you do me a favor please? I forgot to get the measurement for the height
of the tow hitch from the 4Runner. Would you measure yours and tell me the
height from the center of the hitch opening to the ground. Carmax doesn't open
for another hour and even then I don't know if my 4Runner is still there.

TIA!

17-1/2 inches, it looks like, from the center of the square hole to the
concrete floor.

Thank you, sir.

Now I'm off to buy a new hitch.

You're correct. I pulled the trailer home with it today. The damn
thing doesn't even drop out of sixth gear going up a hill with the
trailer attached. Unreal.

Nope. First the truck gets paid for. Then maybe comes a new fifth-wheel camper.
I'm really happy with my boat.

Thanks, though!
