Florida is awesome
But there are too many of y’all moving here.
Stop it

I just want to know when the diamond plate is coming off!

I gave it a long look and I'm scared

 

[miller]

Funny!

Nothing good here… steer clear

Damn I tried to get back to the rig!

Curious how the 58 does with the trailer, had one on a recent Denver trip and averaged over 25mpgs over 800+ miles.

It is fairly flat here. Some rolling hills. It goes smoothly between 8,7 and 6. Only drops into 5th if the cruise is trying to catch up

13.5 mpg first tank running 80.

Trailer is 100% stuffed. Probably 4000-4500

Not too bad- every Toyota i’ve ever had has forgotten anything about efficiency once a trailer is hitched.

Can’t wait to pick up a couple used 250s in ~15 years for my kids when they can drive. These things look like a great Swiss Army knife of a vehicle.

This 4 banger is impressive. NE Missouri is pretty hilly. It's killing it.

Do you get the turbo whine on acceleration?

It was on my rental- sounded like a mini semi pulling grade. 15k on it, maybe yours will open up.

The motor is fairly loud. Not in a good V8 way.

Still a very impressive platform. I imagine it's really impressive off road due to its size.

I wanted to hate it but will be the wives next daily.

Fuel tank landed. CCOT. Steel. Very nice.

Getting to the old one was a bitch. Uncoorporative Rusty bolts.

Always love seeing what's under these.

I'm close to 9 years into the CCOT one on Pikachu and it's been super solid.

Got the truck out and about with some fresh gas.

Runs great. Speedo is 10mph slow. It scoots nicely. I'm taking it to the gym tomorrow to get some miles on it.
