I ran across this, pretty cool looking. Being a Michagander I would never even think of buying one..........
But I do like the way it looks.

Y'all might want to check out www.tundrasolutionscom . It's a great truck but the one weakness seems to be that toyota got the tailgate wrong .
Seems like the thing won't hold a lot of weight ,and is separating at the seams
If they address that, thay just might have a world class truck .

Guess I'm gonna be driving my trusty Chevy 2500HD for a L-O-N-G time to come!!!
Of course, if I win the lottery... All bets are off!!!

Dougster,
It will take you a L-O-N-G time to wear that truck of yours out. I know that you probablly don't even have 5K miles on it yet.
Oh yea mine will turn over to 76K this week on the drive home
Hey, Hey HEY!!! I'll have you know that I turned 3,500 miles today!!! Driving around town at about 9 MPG with a big smile on my face after winning my infamous "flat tire" court case!Dougster,

Well normally they recommend 3500 miles or 3 months wich ever comes first. My dad was a mechanic and because of this I am kinda religious about oil changes. Nissan recomends 3750 miles between oil changes and this drives me nuts. My entire life I have been faithful to every 3000 miles.
Let's see here... 3,500 miles in 15 months (give or take). That's ~233 miles per month and 700 miles every three months. You want me to change my oil every 700 miles???

That's what they recommend. Me I would change it at least once a year. But I don't have to worry about that. If the guys at the garage don't see me every three weeks or so they put out an ABP

Have you considered synthetic? You could easily double the milage between changes. I've verified this with oil tests. Lower operating temps to. You don't save money since ti costs more, but it saves you time / visits to the oil change shop.
Can I have your old motor oil so I can burn it and keep warm this winter???That's what they recommend. Me I would change it at least once a year. But I don't have to worry about that. If the guys at the garage don't see me every three weeks or so they put out an ABP

I just want to forget all about the flat tire court case!!!Dougster feel free to start a thread about a 'flat tire court case' ,,,, it sounds interesting.
I wouldn't change oil at 700 miles either!!!
Suffice to say: Cops do not like me and I do not like cops. The good news is that this time, I managed to beat them.
I snowplow, so I do need to change it more often than that... about once ever six months whether I need it or not.

Never really liked synthetic. Don't have a valid reason just never liked it. Money isn't the issue, I have the best kinda truck to have "COMPANY" it comes complete with credit card. As far as the time thing the place I go to is on the way home from theoffice and I am in and out in 15 minutes flat.

I'm afraid it's going to be a long, cold winter in New England... with almost no snow, of course. We wouldn't want old Dougster to wear out his snowplow making gobs of money now, would we???

Ya know you could get a sweeper for the front of the truck. That way if we don't get any of the white stuff you could make a living sweeping driveways and parking lots.
Kinda like buying bonds in a down market... heh???Ya know you could get a sweeper for the front of the truck. That way if we don't get any of the white stuff you could make a living sweeping driveways and parking lots.
Of course, I wasn't smart enough to do that either.
