I’ve hauled deer Home in everything from a 1965 Pontiac Grand Prix, ‘65 Land Rover, ‘73 VW Thing, ‘76 Chevy Van, ‘77 K5 Blazer, ‘86 S10 Blazer, ‘93 Mazda Navajo and Now my present 1999 Toyota 4Runner. I “think” those years are right.
I’ve never owned a pick up truck..
The 4Runner has only 177,000 miles on it and nary a problem. At my age I’m sure it’s my last truck.

deadeer When I go out west, I always see 30 and 40 year old trucks without a spot of rust on them. The paint is usually gone, but the metal is solid as the day it was built. The back half of my Ranger frame is just about gone.. Yeah I know. My buddy just got back from Texas today from getting a Cummins Dodge for his son.

On a Toyota, it should generally just be routine maintenance. I just had the shocks and struts, and a sway bar replaced on the Tacoma. Expensive, but not nearly as expensive as a truck payment on a newer Tacoma. I fully expect this `09 Tacoma to be my last truck, and I`m just 63 1/2, and the Tacoma only has 117,000 miles.

I’m a fan of what we call the “cab and a half” truck with a removable locking cover on the bed. Some don’t like the suicide doors - but, I prefer over the 4 full doors.

I realized in the dark, my rear hitch cargo hauler is, well, pretty dark and hard to see. So I affixed 6 reflectors to it. Daphne said, "You're really hillbillying up my Aspen aren't you?!" I just told her it's not quite there yet but I'm working on it!

I'll wonder what she says when he re-routes the exhaust to dual stacks through the hood with flappers on them?
