I take it the Dodge was a gasser?
Very nice...

Are the racoons pets?

Yes the Dodge was a hemi and I gotta say I still like the looks of that big old Dodge better than the Ford, it's just that Dodge really needs to step up the tranny they have behind the Hemi as that engine can make power. Even the 6 speed from the diesel they finally put behind the hemi is not geared real well compared to the Ford and GM 6 speed gassers.

As to the racoons, they were pets or more correctly part of the family till they passed away 4 years ago. I have never had a pet like them as they were the most loving animal you have ever seen. We had them from about 10 days old.

Talking HALF TON TOW 2008 Tundra Limited Doublecab 5.7L

Third TT pulled with Tundra since 2008. A 4500lb Jayco TT, 8700lb Wildcat 5FW and as of yesterday a new 2013 Rockwood 8282WS FW. Pulled it great from Hayes RV in Longview, TX to Northwest LA thru huge storm that blew through while headed home.

The family I bought our 355 from towed it with a Dodge 3500 big horn in the brown with gold. We are busy loading our stuff for the first trip in it. It's a big change from our 2009 Jayco 26bh we loved it but the kids are getting older and bigger

Right. If I didn't have the San Antonio I'd probably have a F250. Nice trucks.
