    Default Ultimate Tacoma Commercial!

    I just couldn't pass up this opportunity to show the pulling power of the Tacoma!

    This was the biggest beast I had ever seen. In the rear were two steering platforms. I counted 128 tires!

    Near Montgomery Pass on the California/Nevada border, Hwy 6.







    Thanks,

    The trailer was parked in front of San Onofre Nuclear Power plant for over 6 weeks prior to its departure. They are making many major upgrades and this one of the old tanks they were replacing.
