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.


I think herring also had or has a V8 4Runner, which is more than capable
of towing his boat, or his camper. You'd have to tow a whole lot, which
he does not do, to justify the price of that overgrown diesel truck, and
it's so large, you wouldn't want to drive it around town much. It's a
bitch to park in the city.


Men of means have more than one vehicle at their disposal. Simply use
the one that matches the task at hand, oh one dimensional one.

I have a 25 gallon gas tank in the driveway and a 12 gallon gas tank I
drive around daily.

Well, from D.C. to Arizona and back. *I'd say that's a pretty long
haul. *Can't speak for them but I think they may be doing it again
next year. If it was me doing the towing, I'd much rather have a heavy
truck instead of a small SUV.

Poor Harry. Tries so hard.

You're right about the travel trailer. The diesel is much more economical, getting almost 50% better
mileage than the 4Runner.

Next time we come through your way we'll probably be pulling a fifth wheel. Looking at Open Range
models.

I was going to say. I'm not sure about your situation, but last time I
heard, the GM Duramax's are getting 19-22 mpg on the highways, and the
4 runners were lucky to get about 18 mpg. at 4 lane speeds. Odd that a
way heavier vehicle would get better (per ratio) fuel economy. Heck,
my 95 Lincoln town car gets 26 on the road and my wife's Honda CRV
averages at 27.5. Doesn't make sense but that's how it is.

BTW, when I had my 96 Dodge Cummins, I was getting about 20 mpg on the
road and had no problem parking anywhere I needed to.

The highlander should get better mileage...it is smaller and lighter
than the 4runner and has a v6 engine. On my recent trip to Connecticut,
we were averaging 30+ mpg in a Chevy Impala, a "full-sized" sedan with a
V6 engine.

My five gallon Guzzi still works pretty good for when I can do it without a lot of baggage. I need

save some gas money. The Guzzi gets around 45 mpg.

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?

Well, from D.C. to Arizona and back. *I'd say that's a pretty long
haul. *Can't speak for them but I think they may be doing it again
next year. If it was me doing the towing, I'd much rather have a heavy
truck instead of a small SUV.

Poor Harry. Tries so hard.

You're right about the travel trailer. The diesel is much more economical, getting almost 50% better
mileage than the 4Runner.

Next time we come through your way we'll probably be pulling a fifth wheel. Looking at Open Range
models.

I was going to say. I'm not sure about your situation, but last time I
heard, the GM Duramax's are getting 19-22 mpg on the highways, and the
4 runners were lucky to get about 18 mpg. at 4 lane speeds. Odd that a
way heavier vehicle would get better (per ratio) fuel economy. Heck,
my 95 Lincoln town car gets 26 on the road and my wife's Honda CRV
averages at 27.5. Doesn't make sense but that's how it is.

BTW, when I had my 96 Dodge Cummins, I was getting about 20 mpg on the
road and had no problem parking anywhere I needed to.

I think the parking thing is all in how well your dad, or grandpa in my case, taught you how to
park. I've never had a problem either.

It is a wonder how a 6.6 liter diesel can get better mileage than a 5.6 liter gasser, but they do.

BTW, here's the RV we're getting pretty serious about:

The price isn't bad. They don't make the smaller ones, like this, anymore. Now they're all over 30
feet.
