Jill I must say that in Canada where cars rust out, you do see a lot of interesting old ones!!!
The following pics are just examples of how many 200s there are around here, it's just a heavy area for them. This was all over the last couple days. On the contrary I noticed when I was up in Rochester, NY.... I did not see one single 200. Which is interesting because it's about the best snow vehicle on earth, and they sure get it.
This was funny at the gas station. I said, "So, yours as thrifty as mine?" Which started a whole conversation. She gets it, said she doesn't care about the bad gas mileage and won't ever drive anything else. She said her husband has a huge Ford pickup and she won't drive that even because she doesn't feel safe (that's a stretch, but her prerogative). She actually made me LOL because when I laughed how if you drive the thing for more than 10 minutes the gauge moves, she said she blames it on her young kids and (jokingly) accuses them to explain that needle that always goes straight to E so fast lol. But overall she doesn't care about the bad gas mileage like the vast, vast majority of owners of these.
Also note the chrome on my rear window (passenger rear) is all out of whack, I have to take it back to the body shop and have them fix it from the last ordeal.
nice pics. Sad Toyota has no more V8s in their SUVs other than the GX. Thanks for the shout out

Likely an elderly owner. Probably paid for it in cash back in 1990
Thanks, lol it's funny. I usually drive a boat on a lake, this time it was our truck on a lake. The FT4WD came in handy, I would deliberately get us stuck to play with my nephew and "scare" him... and then just motor right out of the slop like it's nothing.
650hp/1150tq built 6.4L compound turbo diesel, horrendously involved to make it reliable but he did so a couple years back. It's fun to drive a car that sees 58psi boost and has almost 1000tq at 1000 rpm lol!
That's what kept me from tuning my deisel.
Hell yeah, I wanna roll the coal but the extra horsepower kills the reliability so I never did any extras.
Just bone stock boring diesel but the turbo sound never got old. Lol

Rite on.
I could do plug in ev for what little I drive but I'm liking the older tech for now.

Ummmm, truck is way too clean bro.
When mudding it should be hard to know what color the truck is due to all the mud covering it. Lol

Trusssssst me when I say I get it. However even in the thick the mud flaps keep the paint clean. And I don't really care to go out of my way for total wet mud anymore (unless it's just a fun couple of patches) because it's so messy. Dry dirt I'll go nuts with (but I wasn't going to pull that in the middle of a dry lake with part of my family including two small kids right there) but the wet sticks onto your undercarriage and wheel wells too long, lol.

Yeah, I have no interesting in mudding like when I was young.
Too much cleanup.
Plus, water always wants to get into the rear differential and have to keep an eye on it.
Just rooster tailing some dirt, that sounds like fun.
