Nice! Keep us up to date on how it does, since most of us are skeptical of Toyota's as "work trucks". All of the American brands have their certain flaws so this might be interesting to follow.
I will definitely keep everyone posted on how it does. Only time will tell. I will post more pics of it later this week when my salter shows up. I ordered the new buyers TGS06 Tailgate Spreader. I am waaaaay excited to have it ready to go and clear some roads!!
It's amazing how rims and tires can make or break a truck. ( this is just me ) but I'm not a big fan of foreign vehicles or trucks for that matter but yours sure does look good, and the rims and tires are perfect !!
If your salter was Grey or black that would would fit the ticket !!
It is bigger than recomended. The biggest recomended is the 7'6 HD. I went with the Xblade because I have the lift and all of my contracts are very close to my house. So I won't be doing much driving with the plow between jobs. I will definetely keep everyone posted on how it holds up. I was always a chevy guy before I bought this truck and so far I am liking it better than any other Chev I have ever had.

according to ematch on the fisher website that truck is only recommended for a sport duty plow or a homesteader plow.
i would say you are WAY over. lol
i only brought it up because someone i know just bought one too and they refused to put a regular plow on it. (he is quite dissappointed)
But definatley keep us informed. inquiring minds.......
I had heard rumors that the previous style tundra, not sure if it still is the same for this model, but that the frame was built with a crumple zone and that was a hazard for plowing. Basically it implied that if you hit a snowbank, curb, whatever hard enough it would ruin your frame and total your truck I guess.
Other than that, it looks really good. Those tundras are growing on me I'd have to say. Still though sorta seems big for a half-ton, at least I think Tundra's are 1/2 tons. Again, did you do anything to beef up the front to hold the weight? I know you said you don't drive far, but still a bit of precaution never hurt anyone.
