Just a word about this forum. Post here about your vehicles that you use for towing or hauling your toys. Cars, trucks, trailers, tips on towing, mileage tweaks, shortcuts, etc.
Our forum sponsor is Bobby Ford in Lake Jackson, Tx. Our old friend and fellow TKFer, Slingshot, is sales manager and he'll be sharing ALL of his secrets with us here as well. Lol

Is Bobby Ford a dealership? I don't know the area that well. What business is this?

Been eyeballing a Prius. Tired of 12 mpg in my truck. My boat is small so I was curious. Thanks.
