Sad but true! Wonder how much of the money we get to keep?Pretty much have to go back to the mid sixties for a real made in USA truck. Even our 400’s can’t make that claim.

You mean the fake Monopoly money they just keep printing?Sad but true! Wonder how much of the money we get to keep?
Tundra's have only ever been made in the US. Indiana at first, then Texas.I've got to beg to differ about the Toyota,if it ain't made in USA,it ain't sh*t.
Lol. Money is all fake by that measure.You mean the fake Monopoly money they just keep printing?
No worries - I laugh at myself sometimes about things like this.If you want the most bulletproof,simple truck go find yourself a mid 60's Chevy 1 ton,can't blow 'em up with a grenade.

Just pokin' fun man,it's all good.
Living in an RV park for the last few years, I've seen a lot of different rigs come through. A few of them have been V front bumper pull trailers, and I've asked the users when possible, did the shape make any difference. Everyone said it did, and one guy with a newer Chevy dually said he got 3-4 mpg better than his old trailer, with this one. But I think the Hi-Lo design would give even greater mileage due to having less wind resistance. You just gotta have something that will tow it, since they're not light by any means.I read a really good article several years ago on trailers, and it was mentioned that the height of the trailer was the biggest aerodynamic problem, and that V-nosed trailers did nearly nothing to resolve it. That HiLo may weigh more, but I'll bet it still gets better gas mileage than towing a lighter v-nosed trailer.
I've also considered building an enclosed car hauler with a pop-up top like that. You could lower it down to the height of the car while towing and then pop it up at the track to use as a work space while the car's out. Seems like a good idea in my head, but I have way too many projects already.
You're right about that. The wind resistance is a killer for mpg. It's always hard to compare apples-for-apples but the HiLo profile seems to gain about 2ish mpg. But like you said, it will quickly bring something under-powered to its knees if you point it at a hillLiving in an RV park for the last few years, I've seen a lot of different rigs come through.

I still ain't having one!!!Tundra's have only ever been made in the US. Indiana at first, then Texas.
Doesn't that make them more "American" than a GM truck made in Canada or Mexico?
