I kept note on my MPG's..averaging around 70 mph MPG were around 17.5-18.5. I guess i lost a little putting that dual cat back exhaust on...but it's worth the sound it makes...

So I finally arrive 13.5 hours...later...Backed up to the trailer and lowered the trailer onto the truck.. I did notice a 3-4 inch drop on the tundra...At this point there was nothing i could do about it... So the next day we left for home...

I have owned other trucks before. My last was a F350 Ford turbo deisel..( I rather not comment on that). This Tundra Impressed me so...It towed this 11,000 lb.weight at 70 MPH with no effort.. I didn't even feel it behind me...I averaged 10.5-11.5 MPG..and when I got to those steep hills in Pennsylvania it took them at 55-60 and not one gauge moved off of normal Trans/ water temp. Very Nice ride...
My T.T bro "need4speed" came to me with a small request the other day and that was to give him a hand posting pics of his new little boat. I had no problem with this due to the fact that some are having problems with uploading pictures for various reasons. After uploading the pic and seeing it myself for the first time I was absolutely blown away!!!! At the risk of this pic winning the "May truck of the month contest", guy's and gal's take a look at need4speed's awsome set up!
