No, it has two fuel tanks. One is 21 and the other is 17.
The spark plug thing isn't a big deal unless you have some ham fisted mechanic who isn't aware of the issue honking on the spark plugs. They only have about 3-3.5 threads to screw in. But they only need to be changed every 100k miles, which is good since you need to unbolt the motor mounts and raise the engine to reach the back two plugs.

Somewhat. I can do 16 strand (Hi-Vee, Blue Streak, etc) and hollow braid(tenex, ice) pretty well where I can trust my life on them. Double braid(stable braid, Blue Moon, etc) is a pain in the ass and I have a long way to go on that one. 3 strand I'm ok at also. Before I finish uploading my pics I'll grab a few of what I made.

By the way, nice looking truck! Though, personally, I'm a Chevy kind of guy!

HAH! I'm just the opposite. I found double braid simple, if time consuming. I've only successfully spliced 16 strand once, every other time I end up getting stuck halfway through the bury. I've cut off at least a dozen botched attempts before quitting. I lose 4' of rope every time I try.

Heck, I'd pay a grand to someone if they can change the spark plugs in MY truck.

So you do care!
I can't stand the new toyota trucks... I would also rather spend money for a product built in the US...

I didn't dig too deep, but Toyota has 13 US manufacturing facilities.

I think their heaviest is equivalent to a 1/2 ton.
