Very nice interior. I like the silver accents and wood on the steering wheel as well.

What's the trailer weigh? Looks like a hefty trailer but the truck isn't sagging at all!

Trailer weighs about 8,000 pounds. I have the max tow package and an eco-boost engine. The trick to the truck not sagging is to get a weight distribution hitch. The hitch I bought cost about $375 but it is worth it. As you can see, it really does its job. Too much sagging in back and it takes the weight off the front wheels - which is where you need it for good steering traction.

Default Toyota 4Runner to Ford
Spent 4.5 years on toyota-4runner.org, but decided it was time for a change.

The 4Runner traded in at 82,000 miles...



2012 F150 5.0 V8 in desperate need of rear fender well liners...

That's a huge huge improvement!

I love your dog and that's a pretty fancy looking garage
