to borrow theirs for a weekend run to Ikea, the hardware store, or the dump. Sooner or later, everyone needs a truck. My personal need for a truck skyrocketed when my wife and I bought our first home. Weekends, once reserved for rest and relaxation, were now reprioritized for home improvement and landscaping projects.came along, it wasn’t just its off-road chops that I was excited about—it was having access to a truck for a year.
With time in the Tundra quickly dwindling, my wife and I decided to tackle the most hauling-heavy project on our docket: redoing our front yard. We’d been slowly chipping away at the project for months, leveling the ground and clearing away mounds of weeds, wood chips, and non-native plants, but we’d finally reached the point where we needed gravel for the pathways and mulch for our newly planted garden beds.
With that capacity in mind, I decided break down the load into separate 1,500-pound trips, unloading between each trip. Efficient? Not exactly, but it would though give me the opportunity to drive our Tundra for an extended period while slightly overloaded . Amusingly, the compressed suspension did make it easier to access the bed to unload it. Once enough weight had been removed and the ride-height had returned to normal, the optional $399 bed step came in handy.
