    Hello!

    Joined the forum last month. Currently own a 2003 2.4L Tacoma and former owner of a 1987 2.4L Toyota Pickup! Really like Toyota pickups.

    We purchased a new 2016 SR5 Tundra in Asheville NC, today. Really like this truck and can't wait to start towing our 4900 pound travel trailer around the lower 48 with the Tundra. This Tundra has deck rail system, SR5 Upgrade package, bucket seats, center console, spray -in bed liner, and all weather mats.

    Here's a few photos on the way home from the dealership today:

    Will use the Tundra as a tow vehicle for our Oliver travel trailer. Here's the Ollie:

    Thanks for the Welcome.

    Took the Tundra up on the Blue Ridge Parkway on the way home today. Should have it on a camping trip next week. We plan to tow the Ollie all over the lower 48 with the Tundra! Also plan to camp in CO next year. No plans yet, need to work on a route!!!
