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.


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.

My five gallon Guzzi still works pretty good for when I can do it without a lot of baggage. I need
to find an old golf bag I can modify so I can take the Guzzi when I go golfing. Now *that* would
save some gas money. The Guzzi gets around 45 mpg.

My Nissan Versa gets 37 and thats with a 1.6L.


Yeah, well, that's not bad at all. But, it probably cost a lot more than my Guzzi. And, the Guzzi's
only 22 years old, so it'll out last that damn Nissan!
