    Towed a 5000 pound travel trailer to the Carolina foothills earlier this week using tow-haul mode, with less than 2000 miles on the Tundra. This time I'm posting the on-board MPG round trip indications.The Tundra is a strong tow vehicle! :thumbsup:

    Tundra/Oliver rig:

    We spend all the time we can in Western NC! Here's a few more we took while on the Blue Ridge Parkway or close by:

    I am trying to get a life besides "WORK" that terrible 4 letter word. If there is something going on, let me know and if there is a chance to get away, I'll do it. Never heard of Penrose Commons. Essentially lived here my whole life, but spent the last 30 years Active duty, and DA CIV for the Corp of Engineers in ALA. Trying to get back in the grove of Colo.

    HAHA! From what I saw, my Tundy doesn't have a 4 link, 40"tires, lockers, 20 inch lift, etc... But sure. It's a Toyota.
