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?

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...

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.
