Actually, I have no idea what the tow capacity is. Bought it because I really need a pick-me-up truck around here for all the gardenstuff hauling I do, I like Toyotas, the "stick shift" just blew me away, and, for a truck, it's kinda cute. I didn't want a "full sized" pickup. |

Guy around the corner had a jacked up one same colour as my RAV4..Mica something (brown) The seats are ok...for a truck. :) Surprisingly, all the adjustments you can make are made manually...no "power seats" That was a bummer, but mostly everything else is pretty neat. I'm "averaging" 21 mpg for the suburban driving around here, but the one time I had it up to 65 mph, the mpg indicator went up to 27 mpg in sixth gear. I don't know how accurate that sort of thingie is, though. 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. There may be an 'instantaneous' and an 'average' which you have to designate. -- There's a "tank" average and an instant average, but I haven't put more than 100 miles on the truck, so all I really have is the instant reading. On the Silverado the 'average' covers all the miles since I last reset it. You can get average and I stand average. Total average, and then personnel and business averages. I use those for tank and trip ever ages. Not sure what you mean. I can get only one average mpg on mine, unless I reset it for each trip, which I've done just to see what the interstate mpg is, between 22 and 23 mpg. -- Ban liars, tax cheats, juvenile name-callers, and narcissists...not guns! You can get milage for a personnel trip or a business on mine. Easy to reset on each tankful. The 2nd level of display, has total miles, instant milage and ave milage. |

The good thing about boat trailers is they all look similar so you can get away with one tag for all of them. Just scrape off the name on the non-conforming ones. Put the tag on the removable board you mount the lights on and swapping them around is easy. |
