    Colorado 14er hiking trip: from 125' to 14,429' above sea level.

    Thanks for the fabulous pictures of your hike. It makes me want to get out there again now. I have done Whitney, Shasta, Kilimanjaro, and Elbrus. I can tell you that once one gets the "altitude bug", it stays with you. Nothing satifies like thin air and a spectacular view.

    Atlanta area Toyota service?

    Bought mine at Roswell Toyota on Alpharetta highway also and have been getting my first 25,000 miles "free" service done there. I was pleased with the purchase experience and have been pleased with their service department.

    Ride quality on long trips question

    Did a 6000 plus mile month-long trip in Feb - March from Atlanta to San Francisco and San Diego via Nebraska and Wyoming going out and Nevada, Utah and Nebraska returning. Found the 4Runner to be very comfortable doing 475 to 525 miles per day on the trip legs. As others have noted, the truck...

    WTF - falling gas mileage...

    Mostlly 72 to 74 (70 limit) with some at 82 (some "test" limit of 80 in Utah I think). I'm one of those just retired farts that cruises at a couple of mph over the posted limit. About 2/3's of the time we used A/C. This trip was on Castrol Edge 0W20 and I started with an odometer of about 15K...

    The $50 oil change... :O

    Don't get the Valvoline 0W20 in Walmarts around here (northwest suburb of Atlanta). I think the last price I paid for Mobile 1 was $6.27 per quart. Walmart does sell the Mobile 1 0W30 for about $24 to $25 for the 5 quart jug and there are 5W20 oils in the jugs. Just wish there was more...

    Dead Battery

    You are correct. That is what I meant to covey, but did not put it as clearly as you did. Just have to remember to put those tailgate switches in the "Door" or "Off" position if not using them for "tailgating".
