Loaded the Toyota yesterday with firewood. My dad said 'we are in good shape but could use some.' That load did little. Today the 3 kids and I loaded the Toyota again along with a pickup bed trailer. That put them in decent shape. Loading the trailer and truck again today or tomorrow to top them off. Toyota noticed a little with truck and trailer full but springs didn't sag much. Just a little more load to haul. What do you expect for a 21yr old 204k mile truck? Considering I usually drive a diesel my overall opinion of the truck is I am happy with it. It was never built to haul major loads like a diesel dually. For how I will be using it, it will do great.
Other than the youngest complaining, the kids did awesome in helping. No complaints from the older two. After suggesting we stand and watch the youngest stack at Mawmaw and Pawpaw's house by himself. . . He stopped complaining altogether. Good kids. I am blessed.
