    Hello all!

    Here is a pic of my new beast. Plan on keeping it simple. No mods just yet. My best upgrade was being able to drag a boat up hill faster than i was ever able to with my ole' 06' Taco going downhill with a tailwind. Boat and trailer is 4800lbs empty and it tugs it along very nicely! 2017 leftover. Great deal!
