Another involuntarily retired engineer. IBM Watson Health lost $500,000 in 2018 and laid off half of their staff, including myself. I intended to work another year and a half; but that's the way...

I know for a fact that mine will start at -15° F. It doesn't want to; but it will.

Block heater is an available option, mine didn't come with one.

Mine is 4wd, I believe they come in 2wd.

I'd add that the integrated brake controller is very nice. Much nicer than the add-on units.

My 2009 Tacoma struggled a bit towing the 19 at altitude, my 2017 diesel Canyon can...

Hmmm,

I may the only person that purchases a truck topper based head clearance for my avatar. That one wouldn't work.

Another vote, as it were, for the diesel Canyon/Colorado.

I live at 8600' and pulled my 2015 Escape19 for three years with a 2009 Tacoma SR5. It went to Banff twice, Yellowstone once, and had ~20k...

One of my old roommates used to carry a grocery bag full of empty PBR cans and spent 12 gauge shotgun shells. He'd spread them out near the door whenever he left for a while.

Doesn't surprise me and more power to Reace & Tammy.

I'm seriously pleased that I bought my bathroomless 19 while that was possible (not to say that it isn't presently, I wouldn't know).

I've had words with Molly (my avatar). While she traumatizes the UPS guy and door to door preachers, she snored right through my Tacoma getting ate.

The standard flooring and countertops are of very nice quality.
In my case, the fact that I'm ordering a $30K trailer and waiting over a year means I'm inclined to get exactly what I wanted.

Molly doesn't much care for the step, either. I have to cover it with a towel or she just jumps straight in. We carry a doggie bed in the back of the Tacoma, anyway. It moves to the trailer at night....
