Dropped the rental off Saturday morning before the game, then headed over to Atkinson to pick up the new truck, fresh from San Antonio via Gulf States Toyota with all of 6 miles on it. Spent about an hour getting everything signed, then headed to Sams club to pick up beer for the tailgate.

Early impressions - the truck is ****ing awesome. Sized similar to a F250, but doesn't ride like complete **** like the 07 Superdutys do. Plenty of power, nice interior, lots of storage for all of my ****, only downside is I'll miss the gas mileage of that Accord.
Now, I just need to find a trailer and a trail truck and I'll be set.
I hope you guys didn't really think that I had bought a Honda.
i wouldnt put it past you to drive an accord. you got the 5.7 yes?
You are an Idiot. Jimmy looked cool when he did it but you on the other hand....
obviously from the 5.7 nameplate up front... :gigem:Quote:

When I test drove it, I wasn't as big of a puss, but I haven't test driven one since May.
so, is this one getting an SAS now?

I just needed something larger than an extra cab for day to day stuff. Rather than drop the extra estimated $2K in addition to the parts I already had to finish the Tacoma, I decided to sell it while it was still worth something (actually sold for $1500 less than I paid for it 4 years ago) and invest that money in the new truck. Now I can find a trailer and a beater for about what I had in parts for the swap on the Tacoma.
