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.

Those Sportchassis are nice trucks. They have nice interior and exterior features. They are nice pullers as long as you don't put too heavy a 5th wheel behind them.

Here's my rig. 1997 F250 HD, 460, 5sp 73k miles. This is on top of Dead Indian Pass in NW Wyoming taken last weekend.
That may be the smallest 5er that i've ever seen. If i was still single, that would be something that i would enjoy camping in.
Recently bought a larger TV for national travel. A 2010 Toyota Sequoia Limited.
While the Toyota has crazy amounts of power and slightly more stability than the 2012 Honda Pilot EX-L did (*with low profile, UHP tires...towing the same trailer) its not exactly a night/day difference towing as expected. However, as anticipated, I do feel much better towing nationally with the Sequoia over the Pilot, especially in the elevations.
I also want to note MPG. If I retain the same (sane) speeds I held with the Pilot, typically never seeing 70mph, MPG between the two is very close. But the does Pilot holds a slight edge off interstate, where I could easily get 12mpg. Its also too easy now to go over 70mpg and not feel any difference...except in my wallet.
