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.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Now it is the expense of the truck. My diesel truck gets 19 mpg highway,
cost $45k new. My 99' Ford Expedition got about 15.5 highway and cost $42k.
My wife's 2009 Venza cost $36k and gets about 24 highway. If you can afford
to buy an expensive vehicle you buy it because you like it. My friend has a
Lexus wagon so he can haul his 2 Rottweiler's, he wanted another Audi but
they did not make the wagon type when he bought. He gets 13mpg on average.
So just because the vehicle is smaller does not mean it gets better mileage.
Why would somebody buy a Porsche Cayenne when they could buy the same car
body as a VW tourag. They may be able to afford a luxury car. Just because
you can not afford a better car or better boat, do not knock others choices.- Hide quoted text -

Hey, iSnotty.... I've had a couple of big expenses lately...at least
one was unexpected this fall.
I may be down to ask your advice on how to weasel out of my
obligations. I really don't want to dip into my retirement savings for
a few more years yet.
Would you share your expertise in this matter?

Hey, Don, I'm thinking of making my yard a junk strewn hovel like yours.
I may by asking you for advice, because it appears that you are an
expert. I'm also thinking of shipping my mother off to a nursing home
because I don't want the hassle of taking care of her. I understand that
you have expertise in that as well. Other than that, I don't want the
other thing you are an expert at, and that his being Harry's personal
butt plug, Suckling Don the Coward.

Hey, Suckling Don, Harry's personal butt plug, how come you failed to
point out Harry's errors the last two days in a row? Are you afraid he
won't let you ram your nose back up his fat ass again?
