No but I sold my 2500 to a RDP member and now all I have is my tacoma and I'm ready to trade it in on a 1500 diesel
I meant the big ones....thought you had a few HD trucks.

I’m in a 2006 CC Tundra (First Gen)…. I call it a 3/8 ton … the 4.7 V8 runs like a top without balls . LOL. It fits my needs / budget perfectly …. But I trip out on all the Tacomas near me loaded down with 1000+ lbs. of fake camping gear they never use. I always think to myself how gutless they are BEFORE bolting all that crap on em. Some have to be close to single digits in mileage.

Last river trip I averaged just under 16 mpg pulling my little skiff with a bunch of camping crap in the back. Not the greatest, but for a 19 YO truck, I’m not complaining

I sold my 2000 4x4 4.7 with 425k miles. Never had the motor or transmission opened up either. I maxed out the towing rating all the time and was not gentle in the dirt. Extremely well built truck. Only gripe was the undersized brakes.

Toyota the official truck of terrorists and the cartel 😉

I think the non turbo Toyotas were a lot more reliable than the new Tundras and Tacomas. Just rolled past 200k on my 2013 5.7 Tundra. When I look at book values for it I’m always surprised.

Shoulda stuffed 2 or 3 crate big blocks in it. Would sound fucking epic and $100K buys a lotta gas. Could you imagine the beautiful noise that 3 big block chevy's would make with chain couplers and zoomies if they were synced right?.... People would hire you just so they could hear you pull into the yard
Years ago I was working in DTLA and just wanted to be done with the job. Street work. Its the end of the day and as I'm putting tools in my truck and I hear this roaring Big Rig and then the jakes came on. I was about to just quit my job and go ask the driver of that truck for a job. Turns out it was RDPS very own Rvrluvr.
