I had to sign a non-sexual discrimination paper when I started with this company, I asked the boss exactly what did that mean in layman's terms since a trading floor is not a real sane, kid friendly, politically correct environment. His response caused me to ask him how the heck he expected any lumber trader to be able to work. Trading is a bastion of maleness, one of the last white collar professions that is still rough, tough, rude and nasty. Now when we hire a receptionist or a trader asst we pre-qualify them; "are you offended by cussing, sexual innuendos, etc". There is a line of course, we can't directly call anyone a name, we can't touch, all that rot. I do think we've gotten WAY too sensitive, but then again, that's my opinion. If I bugged someone, I would ask that they say something, to prevent me from repeating it. Whether I agree with them or not, their opinion is still there opinion.

And no I don't turn the wheel while standing still. Unlike my old Toyota I don't drive the wheels off of it. I do love the power of the V-10, but can't afford to get on it too often. I haven't had a plug blow in this truck, but had one come out in my last Ford. And both have had problems with warped rotors. Not once did I ever have these problems with the Toyota! I guess I have to "learn" how to drive the so called superduty. Now that I think about it, this truck is a super duty! out!

I hang out on the RV net occasionally, first to pester the Dodge diesel guys, second because I am an RV'er sorta and like to keep up with stuff. Here's a post from a guy who bought a Toyota, looks like he spent alot of money to not do any work huh ?

I just purchased a new toyota tundra limited pickup v8 double cab 4x2 with trd off road package. I drove it right from the dealership with my traveling family with full liquids to a scale and weighed it. It weighted 5600 pounds. I read the dot sticker and it say gvwr is 6600 pounds. That leaves 1000 pounds on the truck. The gcwr is 11,800 pounds. I figured that I can only tow a tt fully loaded that weights maximum 6200 pounds or less. Meaning that I would not be able to insert anything else into the truck bed. And that might be limited as well by the hitch weight.So with loaded hitch weight, that trailer might have to be a lot less? Am I on the right track here or am I missing something. Looks like a 5er is out of the question.
