I use the cruise control going 30 miles east on I 40 and back. It will gear down a couple of times to fifth. Flat and little to no wind cruising just under 75 mph. I love it. Very nice trip. When I travel the turnpike to Tulsa with the long grades using the cruise control set at 77 mph all...

Thanks.

My first time to run around with my first grandchild. She is trying to figure out who is picking her up from “school.” Took awhile to figure out how to strap in the new car seat. Turns out it is a rather simple task. But strapping her in is another story. So different then when I took her dad...

No, she was safe. We had transported 23 head earlier that day about 85 miles so I was checking to see how well they were adapting. The poor donkey was the last to be loaded in my trailer so he got to ride in the compartment with the bull. He was willing to ride anywhere rather than be left...

Sure...why not?

Oh boy....

I was in Seattle two weeks ago and was amazed at all the Tacos I saw. Also about four out of five had caps. Nice combo. Enjoy.

Standard rear springs with equalizer hitch. A 16-18 ft Airstream should be a dream to tow. Enjoy.

Here is a picture of where I mounted the brake controller. I bought a connector from etrailer that snapped into the adapter hidden behind the left kick panel. We made a 1,500 mile trip to south Texas after installing new tires on the 3,100 lb trailer. I have the ShiftSense Pro that helped. The...

Okay, I used mine yesterday. But that was unusual. I sold my 2014 Ram Limited that had nearly everything to a good friend. While showing his wife how to use the stereo, she asked where to insert a CD. I told her it didn’t have one and I can’t write what she said. She told her husband he really...

So what isn’t normal in the third gen? I asked the service writer to check out the slight whine from the rear end between 50 and 60 mph at the 10k mile service. Got the scripted answer: “It’s normal.”

We decided to downsize from a Ram (8 speed AT) so I found a really nice used 2013 Tacoma 2 WD and liked it. So much so that I decided to check out a new 2017 TRD Off Road 4x4. I got to drive it with the salesman for five miles. One on the interstate. The first two weeks I drove it around town...

Now the real spending begins!

We have made countless trips from Oklahoma City to Denver for a number of years in more vehicles than I care to admit I’ve owned. We leave OKC with 87 octane and Denver with 85 octane. And we almost always get better mileage returning to Oklahoma City. I’ve used 89 octane in the Taco a couple...

Tax return? What’s that? I owed. But for those that do get a return, enjoy. It’s your money.

I like the push button start. My problem is the wife’s Honda push button is about 2 inches to the left of the position of the Tacoma’s. I have to re adjust when I switch back and forth between the two. I don’t look, I just reach and push. Unlike Matthew McConaughey in the Lincoln advertisement.

I usually hand wash mine every other Wednesday. My son works seven days on then seven days off. So I hand wash mine hoping I don’t have to go down the one mile of dusty road when he is working. I made two trips to their house yesterday. One to help push down trees and the second for grilled...

I drive three different vehicles. One was always a Wrangler. I’d drive one of the others and outta habit wave at Wranglers. No response other than some weird looks. Then I would get back in the Wrangler and forget to wave. Felt like I had really done something wrong. Too many soccer moms and...

I had a 2012 Wrangler Sport and loved it. Sold it to my ex wife and her husband. No problems whatsoever to date. I will buy it back when they decide to sell. It will be like a new one. The daughter has a 2016 Tacoma SR5 DC. Not so lucky with it.
