No, I don't own one. But you might find FourWheeler magazine's article on it in their May, 2015 edition worth reading. They ran it against the latest off road packages in the Tacoma, the Colorado, the Tundra and it. They call it the Pickup Truck of the Year. E

Just remember they have or did have 4.56 gears in them. Your gonna be able to move your house around the yard but will hurt the wallet. That being said i wish I had one...

I'd like to hear how many times the winch gets used in a PW. Bet not much. Nice addition for the extra cash though. mtmuley

The new ones have 4:10 gears,not 4.56's. That and the new transmitions have 6 speeds, instead of 5, with the top ratios at .82 5th and .63 6th. The larger engine has clynder deactivation which the 5.7's didn't have as well. All of that should help fuel mileage when on the highway w/o much of a load. E

Mine has the 6 speed tranny as well, was the first year for it. I dodged the cylinder deactivation at least. I'd forgotten they had that.
mtmuley, even on the bald assed prairie I've used mine a couple times. Better to have and not need than need and not have. Were I still not he west side I've no doubt I'd have used it more than I have thus far.
