Needed something bigger and gas is not as expensive in the south.

Nothing yet except for some LED interior & exterior bulbs.

Congrats! I went from a 3rd Gen Taco To a 2.5 Gen Tundra. I actually preferred the smaller size of the Taco but felt it wasn't going to be up to pulling the 4000lbs of SXS & trailer after seeing how hard it worked pulling 1200lbs of ATV & trailer through the mountains of MD and WV. In my case fuel economy of my Taco with 2" of lift on 265/70R17's is about the same as my Tundra got stock.

I pulled a trailer from cali to bama with my taco on 285/70 tires. Worst experience ever with a trailer, it was porbably running a bit heavy though.
