I am sure the neighbors are happy seeing one less vehicle on the street, I mean it was on jacks with a puddle of oil underneath it in the driveway, right?</end quote></div>



They were kinda happy with us tonight as we pressure washed the quads and then had to "dry them off up and down the street"[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Just sold my F 350 last night. Had it a couple of years and sold it for only 1K less than I bought it.[IMG][/IMG] Didn't have to do jack to it in all that time. Sad to see it go but I haven't been using it much at all lately and I have too many other vehicles laying around the house. Neighbors must think it's a car lot here[IMG][/IMG]</end quote></div>

We haul our toys with the new Tundra. This trucks pretty amazing. They even did a write up on it in the last issue of Quad magazine.

Had to put my 2 cents in for Toyota. They made a true full-size contender this time.

Hows the tailgate holding up?

And uh, that tranny?

Tailgate works great. It has a gas-charged damping strut insures the tailgate will not slam open or closed. It's a cool feature. Now the tailgate does not get worked that much because we haul the quads in a trailer.

As for the tranny, so far so good. The truck has only been on the market since February so time will be the true test there. However my guess is it will be very dependable because after all it is a Toyota. And unlike the tailgate the tranny does indeed get worked. The manufacturers tow rating for our crew max is 10,100. We tow our boat with the tundra all the time. Total package weight of the boat and trailer is about 13000.

So far..............very good results
