Don, the Tundra is a good truck. This is the first Ram I’ve owned and now have 85K+ miles in a little over 3 years. 50K miles towing. No problems at all. I had heard of Ram reliability problems too, but couldn’t pass up the price for features 3 years ago. I had owned multiple Ford and Toyota trucks previously. I am planning on either a Rebel or Power Wagon after the first of the year, depending on available options (split tailgate). Just FYI. I wish I needed a Touareg! My son had a diesel and loved it.

Thanks for the suggestion David. I used your idea to tether my iPhone with usb. The one thing that may be different with some phones and your jet pack is the usb protocol. My iPhone 8 has usb 2.0. I just started comparing USB tethering with WiFi tethering to the WiFi Ranger. I actually think the WiFi May be faster in my case. In either case am positioning the phone next to cell antenna. I have yet to prove anything, just a bit of empirical findings.

You can’t purge the water system using that toilet fitting, not completely anyway. There are check valves in the outside lines that will prevent any flow except inward. You could blow out the inside faucets, outside shower and some of the lines, but the water that will definitely be trapped will be in the most vulnerable locations, close to the outside of the hull.

Don, if you can get a super killer deal on a Tundra that you like, go for it. It will be very reliable but you will be buying 13 year old technology and, while well sorted, it won’t run anything like a more modern design. The interior is dated and the engine and transmission are lacking. A completely redesigned model is coming very soon. https://www.motor1.com/news/351355/2021-toyota-tundra-engine-rumors/ If you are fine with this, go for it. it won’t leave you stranded. The TRD Pro model would be a good choice for washboard roads. You will not like the stock suspension for those conditions. You should test drive a regular Ram 2500 with its wonderful rear coil suspension. It drives really nicely. I understand your concerns but I personally would choose a gas powered HD Ram over a Tundra, without any second thoughts. John Davies Spokane WA
