    My '17 Toyota Tacoma met an untimely death thanks to a driver who didn't see a stop sign and rolled me over. It kept me in one piece though so that was a HUGE bonus!

    So I decided to stick with Toyota and upsize. I picked up a new to me '19 Tundra Limited to replace it with.

    Looking forward to putting lots of miles on the new ride and this looks like a great place to pick up tips & tricks & ideas!

    The taco definitely did its job - had the same happen to me. My 4Runner was totaled by a guy texting and blowing through a red light. Upsized to the tundra. You’ll love it.

    Thanks! I've missed having a big truck. I previously had a 2003 Chevy 2500HD Ext cab with 8ft bed. It was a dependable unit but a bit of a beast being so long. Sold it with 230k miles on the ODO. Downsized but went a little too far. The Tacoma was a great truck but I hated not being able to lay a piece of plywood down in the bed and it was a bit tight inside.

    The dog approves of the interior space and the bed on the new ride so I think we're good to go now. :)

    Wow, yours took a beating, glad it saved you. If your dog likes it, all is well! Our dogs aren't that big (60ish pounds), but all in for a ride!

    Did you notice the moving blanket matches the dog, too? A man of taste!
