I jumped ship and traded the Trail in on a Tundra.

[MENTION=142452]TexasTJ[/MENTION] Thanks! Banff/Jasper was stunning. Based partially on your experience, we did end up coming through Glacier on the way home. My son saw his first bears in the wild in Jasper, and in Glacier we saw plenty of bighorn and a couple of mountain goats. We really enjoyed it.

I just got back from Tahoe/Yosemite and the two things that made the biggest difference in having the Tundra as a road trip vehicle were having the RTT and bike rack over the bed, and having a 38 gallon fuel tank. It was much more comfortable driving with nothing bolted to the roof or hanging off the hitch receiver. The peace of mind that came from not having to be concerned with carrying added fuel was nice too. Those aren't digs on the 4Runner, just differences.

I forgot to share this earlier. After trading in my 4Runner, I saw the listing for it online. It was gone before the month was over. I think this list price is more than I paid new! Crazy world we live in. They did get it shined up pretty good though.
