    Just got my 2019 SR5 (TSS Off-Road Special Edition Pkg) from our local Toyota dealer. Traded my trusty old 1996 F-250 P/S in on it along with the 2017 Toyota 4Runner. The 4Runner just didn't have what it took to haul our travel trailer safely so the wife, in her infinite wisdom, allowed the jousting to begin on a new truck.
    The F-250 hardly got used and was feeling neglected as my normal vehicle to drive was a Fiat 124 Abarth Spider we have and the 4Runner was the wife's vehicle. Now that the truck has joined the family the Fiat is hers and the truck is ALL MINE! Honestly - if she wanted to drive it she could but she has a bad habit of backing into trees and side swiping parked vehicles in the 4Runner (she complained it was hard to see out of it) so she has no desire to drive the truck - she's happy to be Ms. Daisy and I get to be Hoke.
    Found the site via a Google search and decided to join since it's running XenForo and not vBulletin as its script. I hate vBulletin personally and run 2 XenForo sites (astronomy and recumbent bikes) and an IPS site (pipe & tobacco) myself.
    Was a LEO for 15 years and then got into the IT biz then retired from it and worked a bit as a correctional officer to top off my retirement I could draw.

    EDIT:
    Guess I could put in where I hail from... it's a small town called Palestine, Texas. Born and raised here and moved back after wife's mother passed and we inherited the house.

    The truck (which already has had the interior lights replaced with LED's as well as the B/U and top lights on the cab) at the dealer pre-drool. If you notice, the antenna hasn't even been mounted yet. This one had JUST came off the truck and had a whole 3 miles on the odometer.

    And the trailer (a Winnebago 1790) with the old 4Runner in the background.

    [​IMG]

    What killed us on the 4Runner was not so much the trailer weight as the tongue weight. It now has 2 20lb propane tanks instead of 1 and golf cart batteries instead of deep cycle. That kicked the tongue weight over the 500lbs that the 4Runner was rated for.

    Already have several things planned like LED headlights, CarHartt SeatSaver covers, tailgate letter insert in flat black to match the rest of the flat black, and TRD Sway bar. Been debating on a topper or a cover also. Since both of us are retired and on fixed income (even though it's a nice one) I have to watch the outgo as the guitars I tend to collect cost quite a bit themselves.
    This is just a small part of them. There are about 12 more that I didn't have at the time of this photo.
