So as I’ve mentioned before I currently have a 2005 Jeep Wrangler and looking to buy a 2020 Tacoma around the end of year. I rented a 17’ pro for the weekend getaway to Lake Tahoe.

Compared to the Jeep it’s road manners are so much better, it is so much smoother and more pleasant to drive. I had no problem with power over the hills either, kept 70-75 and felt very car like. A totally different machine than my Jeep. I’ll add some photos over the weekend as I explore around. Averaged around 19 mpg so far, which considering about 100 miles through mountain roads I think is pretty darn good, really like it.

That's some pretty country. I'm planning a trip out to Lake Tahoe later this summer. Your pictures have got me excited to do so!
 
Dang! I can't wait to go!
 
I've never seen a place rent anything decent like a pro. Most always it's some bottom of the line 4x pickup truck.

I used Turo which is like AirBnB for vehicles. It was a bit spendy but I thought it was important to try it out before spending a whole lot of money. I loved it, didn’t want to give it back.

The owner said most people who rented his truck were taking them on a test drive before buying - busted! Hah
