What was it when you put your foot back on the gas? ;-)



I'll try it and pay closer attention. I think it indicated about 9 mpg
when I started accelerating from a dead stop in first gear. There's so
many "devices" that I haven't gotten used to on this truck, I'm pretty
busy just keeping it on the road. The "nav" feature is pretty good, but
I have yet to figure out how to get it to shut up.

I know what you mean. I hate the nav, particularly when I know where I
am. It is just another distraction.
I did use it in Michigan but I cranked the volume way down. It mutes
the sound system so I knew when it was trying to tell me something. I
pretty much knew where I was going so it was really just prompting me
to the next turn.
The MPG thing is fun to play with for a while. I had it in my old 86
Chrysler LeBaron. After a while I just selected another display. It
was fun on the skyway bridge, getting it to peg at 99 MPG coasting
down the back side.
You just have to be careful and not be "playing with your DIC" (Driver
Information Center) and run into the back of a truck.
I think they are every bit as distracting as talking on the phone.

He said he had some sort of trailer, enough to reduce his gas mileage.

Camper? Harry could get a custom tent that fits the bed area. If the box was longer, a cap could make a good sleeping area.

Maybe Tim's question was based on Harry's 'following the lead' with so many of his
purchases, e.g. cameras, guns, boats, pickups, and next, maybe, a trailer. Shoot,
with the V6 that thing is rated for about 6800 lbs towing capacity. Some pretty nice
trailers fall well within that capacity.

I wouldn't mind having a small "flatbed" trailer like the landscape guys
use to haul around their lawnmowing gear, but no one in this household
has *any* interest in RV'ing.

I have use for this:

Two trips with the pickup will do the job. Then you don't have to worry about
licensing, etc.

When I had the RAV4 I bought an aluminum Mission 4' x 8' box type utility trailer. I wanted something light (about 280 lbs) that wouldn't rust away sitting outside year after year in our humid climate. If I had known I'd be upgrading to a Highlander in the near future, I would have bought the next size up..a 54" x 96" bed maybe with the ramps instead of tilt function.
I don't see my particular model here...similar one that had the rail sides instead of my panel sides. http://www.missiontrailers.com/landscape.php
