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?

Absolutely incorrect, Dumbo,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.

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!

Harry doesn't have the skill sets to do anything like that so he
instantly hates on anybody that does.

The real test of a 4WD vehicle is if you can plow heavy snow with it.
In the case of the RAV4, I'd guess not so much, or at least not for
very long.

The city plows our snow... except for the sidewalk & my driveway which
i can easily do with a sturdy shovel or my electric snowblower.
