and i know that are well been going up there since i was a kid.
do you need a picture of hurricane ridge from just last week??
when my truck was pucking out my wife was watching the cell phone for any type of reception and there was none even at the visitoors center ther was none. and it seems that all you can do is bad mouth other to provoke a response i think they call that a troll??
next time you go hunting in a national forest let me know how that works for you. i will get a big chuckle when they take your truck. and yes they are doing that.
let me know when you see a cell tower!
anyway hope you all have a great 4th even you monsterbaby ;^)

4.33 gears 6 speen tranny with tow haul. the tranny has a stick style with a option of putting it in to useable open 6 so you can down shift on the way up on the fly or up shift quicker then witing for the tranny to get into the right band. anyway like i said hope you all have a great 4th and good luck with your trucks i really do hope they work out for you. it just didn't for me.
I'm no longer going to reply so bad mouth me all you want. I'm taking this site off of my favorites and if i can figure out how to unsubscribe i will.
like i have said in no way am i saying that this will be the great end all truck and that it will do everything.
the road is twisty with a low speed limit and poor vis. so no one goes flying up it. I really did want a v10 before i bought the diesel but had been told the diesel was the only way to go. this is a primary driver and the mpg on the v10 was not so great.

Having seen that, I wish you luck in pulling that nice big trailer with a v-8 half-ton. Having seen a pic of the country y'all are talking about a gas v-8 would struggle, you should have gone with the v-10(should have done that in the first place for two reasons A. six times a year really doesn't warrant a diesel and B. the diesel was still relatively new). I'm willing to bet that the toyota v-8 has 3.73 gears on it and it's going to have a rough time with it unless you don't mind going a lot slower then the rest of traffic. But the best of luck to you in that endeavor.

I am not saying I didn't buy my F-350 Powerstroke, but that is not an equal comparison. Toyota could and is beating FORD and CHEVY when it comes to the small size Tacoma and 1/2 ton Tundra. They made a decision not to compete with the big three when it comes to the diesel market, but in every other country, they offer a turbodiesel in their trucks.

Toyota Tundra, what a joke.....
The 6.0L Power Stroke was NAVISTAR'S (INTERNATIONAL'S) problem child, not Ford's.
What a major jump, going from a Super Duty to a 'Toy'. The Asian market (non-Domestic) Toyota Tacoma/Tundra, Nissan Frontier/Titan, Mitsubishi Raider, Honda Ridgeline, & so on "trucks"
are for people who do not really need a truck. If you were unhappy with a diesel, why not get the gas? Because you wanted a cute little foreign "truck".

are for people who do not really need a truck.Toyota is #3 in US sales and climbing. The Tundra will probably surpass the F-150 as the #1 truck (in sales) in the next five years unless Ford scores real big with the new F-150.
You may not think the Toyotas, Hondas and Nissans are real trucks, but you're going to be in the minority very soon.
