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.

Exactly. My bud down in Fla tows a lot of equipment. I ask him why he
always has the biggest p'up he can find. He says "any vehicle can tow my
trailers, but this one stops 'em better"... *He is thinking about the
folks around him on the road, not some pie in the sky troll ideology...

LOL! Yeah, That reminds me of a thread here some time ago about
somebody asking how good[?] of an idea it was to pull a 20' boat
behind an old Pinto or some other clap box like that..... Oh it
probably would if you didn't mind the back pumper dragging the
pavement with the front tires barely touching, not counting doing 30
in second gear. But if you had to do a hard stop?

shiver!
