A little off topic, but I'm curious of the trailing weight and how the 4.7l handles it??? Both my wife and I have that motor in our trucks and I've always wondered what it would be like towing a bigger boat... ( 5.7 Tundra a couple months away, bigger boat maybe a couple yrs away!!!)
Hopefully you won't mind adding some tinted window pic's when she's done, that windshield will be incredible tinted....
Thank you for the feedback, I was very pleased the color combo. Its a little nerve racking until you see it in person, the I-spec does not do a good job of true color pallets.
The boat weighs 3,500 lbs and the trailer I am guessing is around 1,500. So loaded up with gear and fuel - 5,500-6,000??? The Sequoia does a pretty good job for a 2004/4.7L engine. Pulling grades it will struggle, but it gets the job done. I would definitely not tow anything larger than this, I believe it is rated for 6,500 lbs. Ths is one reason I stayed with 21.6" boat, and did not go up to the 23' LSV.
With the new Tundra's and the 5.7L motor you would be fine for any of the larger boats, those are really nice motors and produce way more horsepower than the older 4.7L.
I will definitely post up some pics of the stereo and tint when its finished.
