Your kidding right? You never saw the commercials with a Tundra pulling the space shuttle?

I got the SR5 Offroad edition - Has a 5.7 liter V8 iForce engine in it. The computer tells me my fuel economy is only a little over 12 MPG currently, so the thing is a gas guzzler, but I would imagine it can pull just about anything.

Its fairly modified... The truck is black, so I plasti dipped all my emblems black + front bumper + grille + back bumper (murdered out), added a black tool box on the back, black frontier brush guard, full length black nerf bars (step up to get in truck), 3 inch lift, black rims, 34’ all terrain tires, air bag suspension, towing package... and after work today I am buying some KC lights to attach to the brush guard (will look sick). I’ll post some pictures after I wash it this weekend, I don’t have any with the tool box and brush guard attached.

It's a 2015 and has about 15,000 miles on it. 1 previous owner and they had a 5th wheel in the bed, but it is no longer there. Truck is a beast - I call it Drogo - roommate calls it The General.

I dumped ~$40k into index funds & Apple in 2009 after the crash. I sold everything 12/31/12 and paid no taxes due to a provision in a stimulus bill.

I also have all of my fingers and can say the alphabet backwards.

Super jealous of the 9 lbs poop tho.

As someone who now works in finance/investing, I am so jealous that I was broke for most of college.

I missed the best bull market ever.

Awesome bragging post!

I'm not hacking on toys, I use to have one, a mini, looong ago when they were all the rage. I could hitch a small trailer to it, though not through anything tough, not like my later 4x4 could do. If it fits your needs then that's a win.

If they had 5th wheel hardware on it, likely they found out that it's a pain to pull in a toy close to the limit, so sold/traded up. Toy has a ~10k limit, while most good 5ths are close to that, some over. Chev/GMC is at 16k, will easily pull 90% of 5ths up, including modest tractor loads. Here's a chart. And tons of youtube pulling tests. Example: it couldn't pull one of these. Even the Chev/GMC would struggle a bit if it were fully loaded. But just depends on intended use, and sounds like good use for a general work truck.

Toyota makes some good vehicles now. Both are pretty capable trucks for towing unless it's something out of the ordinary. If you're ever in the car market then camry and corolla (on my third since the last one got flooded back in April) are good buys. Can drive the hell out of both.
