    Hello!
    I've recently (May 1st) added a new Tundra to the stable. Previously, I've owned 1st and 2nd Gen Tacomas, and currently have a 3rd gen Taco (2019 Calvary Blue TRD Off-road).

    My wife and I have recently started camping, and I want to get into offroading more. The Taco didn't pull our camper well in stock form, and I'm pretty certain adding armor, a lift and bigger tires wasn't going to help it any.

    What to do? Make a bad financial decision and add another vehicle, obviously!

    My Tacoma is starting to get built out now (sliders, skids and tires all on order) and the Tundra is going to mostly be a tow pig. However, Id like to eventually use the Tundra to tow the trailer out west (from my home in Cincinnati) and hit some easy trails in Moab and do some mountain biking and hiking with the dogs, so it's going to get a few mods (engine skid, bumper, larger tires) eventually. Also want to add a tonneau cover (Probably MX4, or maybe the new Diamondback trifold).

    The Tundra has already been on three camping trips, and it's performed perfectly! It tows the camper at highway speeds easier than the Taco goes those same speeds unloaded, and it's super comfortable.

    As for me, I'm almost 40, gotta wife (who is obviously a very understanding and patient woman!), three dogs and like to find creative ways to crash mountain bikes.
