Taking The Tacoma Trailhunter into the Colorado Mountains
In this episode, we venture into the mountains with the Trailhunter and FJ to see the Aurora Borealis following a coronal mass ejection. We test the towing capabilities of a Mission Overland trailer, enjoy a cozy night in the heated camper, and celebrate Blue's 15th birthday. Throughout the journey, we navigate challenging trails, encounter wildlife like a bull moose and sandhill cranes, and reflect on the importance of a warm space during cold adventures. Join us as we tackle rocky descents, experience breathtaking landscapes, and prepare for even more exciting adventures with our truck.
