Unfortunately yes. Fish fayette county. Best of today... NICE! I've heard they're snapping there pretty good.

My $.02. I will never own another gasoline truck. I have a 2011 Dodge 2500 cummins that has been deleted and tuned. It gets 15 mpg towing my 20' Skeeter, 18-19 hwy, on 35" tires. It makes an occasional trip to the drag strip and runs low 13s and embarrasses mmany new v/8 "sports cars". Great for hunting, the beach, hauling boats, backhoes, cattle....whatever. Very comfortable as well. Its a blue ribbon boat pullin, sports car, limousine type thing. My wife drives a 2014 megacab cummins and last summer we took it to Florida and at 85 mph it got 21mpg, hand calculated. You pay more for a diesel in the beginning, but get it back in the end. And for the talk of pitting a ram 1500 hemi against a ecoboost, I have two buddies who are brothers and they have tried this several times. The hemi wins the 1/4 mile but the eco is catching. The hemi gets 12 pulling a boat and the eco gets 9-10. Same boat.
Wishin I was fishin! NOW, right now!

Seems to be trending toward the general market share stats. 5% share for the Tundra nationally and 14% share in this poll about Bass Boat tow vehicles...but if people are actually towing Bass boats with the Tacoma...which I have not seen much of...then added together then it would be closer to the national sales percentage. I think the Toyota involvement in Bass fishing is probably a more reasonable explanation for why the poll is showing a higher percentage for toyota.

I pulled a stuck Chevy out of the sand on Matagorda beach Saturday when we were leaving. When we got to Surfside, we jump started a Tundra. Just another day in the life of a EcoBoost F150 FX4!

I think the Toyota involvement in Bass fishing is probably a more reasonable explanation for why the poll is showing a higher percentage for toyota. Another possible resonable explication is that it's a good,reliable, strong, well built truck that tows well. If it had a Ford or Chevy badge on it, it would probably have 50% market share...
