Finally. The poor ol 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0L just got too tired and was pretty much done at 160k. Would've taken too much money to do anything with it. So the ol wife and I went out "just to look" of course and ended up with this...

2011 Tacoma double cab V6 4x4 SR5 w/21k and 6400lb tow cap. Got it a week before going to Gettysburg PA for 5 days with my Kodiak 195 hybrid. Loaded its roughly 4000lbs. What a difference lemme tell ya. I drove there taking a different route than I normally took. Scenic route with lots of hills and curves - and in the rain. Very good. On the way back I took 116 back which is CRAZY hills. It would have killed my Jeep, seriously. Feels SO much better.
