In a case of using a sludgehammer to crack an egg I just picked up a new wicker loveseat with our long-term 2007 Toyota Tundra.
The local Green Thumb had the couch on close-out, and I've been wanting some yard furnishings ever since we installed new paving stones in front of the house. I also picked up an $80 recliner for the backyard (in the box on the couch), and both items fit in the bed with room to spare.
But while the Tundra's excessive size was appreciated when hauling lawn furniture, it wasn't the most child-friendly vehicle with regard to entry/exit. My 10-year-old son had no problems, but my eight-year-old daughter initially couldn't get in without my help. I jokingly suggested she just grab the seatbelt strap and haul herself up. Imagine my surprise when -- she did!
Actually, once she perfected the system (pull out center should strap until it stops, then pull on strap while pushing up with leading leg) she quite enjoyed it, all while humming the Indiana Jones theme.

Cute, but when are you guys going to blog about the R8 again? It's been a while.

The pavers look nice Karl. Does the Tundra come with rappeling gear for kids?

The Silverado must suck eh? All anyone seems to drive is the Tundra and whenever some does get in the Silverado all they can blog about is the transmission.
