Aesthetically, the Tundra TRD Pro is a paragon of excellence with conspicuous TRD design statements. The pickup arrived in Incredible Hulk mode with its Army Green camo and TRD frame looking chiseled like Greek gods. The merits of the latest Tundra TRD Pro are intriguing. They include a black grille frame, a new hood scoop, revised springs, new shocks and rims, and suspension upgrades consisting of new TRD-tuned Fox 2.5” front and rear internal-bypass shocks, and an additional 1.5” of front wheel travel and 2” rear wheel travel from the springs. The TRD dual exhaust system in black is pretty throaty, and the black-highlighted LED fog lights and headlights are TRD originals. You will see TRD bolstered all over and throughout the green-machined Tundra. Speaking of which, I initially would not have considered a green pickup truck, but I enjoyed this specific hue as well as everyone else who came into contact with it.
Pickups are big business representing high returns and stakes for the auto brands that build them. They are also a daily necessity for both consumer and commercial usage. This week Automotive Rhythms spent more time behind the wheel of a 2022 Wind Chill Pearl Toyota Tundra Hybrid Capstone CrewMax, which felt more luxurious than industrial. I didn’t want to accomplish my typical yard tasks and Home Depot runs with this particular truck, especially with its lovely black and cream two-toned interior, jeweled chromed exterior trim, and 22" dark chrome alloy rims. However, we did go mountain biking together. For rough riders, you might want to go with the Tundra TRD Pro, which easily handles all terrains on and off-road. The MSRP for the Tundra Hybrid Capstone CrewMax is $73,530, but my test model was a bit more due to the $1,045 AVS+ Load-Leveling Rear Air Suspension, $425 Wind Chill Pearl (white) paint selection, and the $579 non-skid spray-on bed liner.
Trucks are big business representing high returns and stakes for the auto brands that build them. Now in its third generation, Toyota has finally re-engineered the Tundra full-size pickup with competitive features that we have come to expect symptomatically from the Americans. But is it enough to garner market share from the Big 3? Well, Toyota invited Automotive Rhythms / Fit Fathers to Texas for technical briefings with their Tundra designers and engineers to find out. Yes, they are ready starting with power that emanates from a twin-turbo V6 generating 389-hp and 479 lb.-ft. of torque or Toyota’s powerful i-FORCE MAX hybrid twin-turbo V6 delivering 437-hp and 583 lb.-ft. of torque from 2,400 rpm. Both pair with a new 10-speed automatic transmission with intelligence (ECTi). Ready to rumble? I am!

I went for a walk along the horse trails at Crenshaw and Palos Drive North, and while waiting for a traffic signal encountered these adorably happy pups. I'm pretty sure they are Australian Shepherds. There's a third one who was interested but obviously wouldn't fit in the window.

This is, I'm fairly certain, only the second one of these I've ever seen. There's a black one I see around Glen Burnie very occasionally. 31st Mid-Atlantic Mopar Meet, Mason-Dixon Dragway, Boonsboro, MD, May 18, 2014.

On this Thursday, December 26th, 2024, we see Hazzard Range Bulletin Publisher Brittany Romero and Editor/Senior Reporter Omar Grant talking with Hazzard Range County Sheriff’s Office School Resource Sergeant Blake Cooper who is working patrol with the school district on Winter/Christmas break, Blake on his way back to the unit after eating lunch at Law and Order Cafe ask how the move is going. Brittany tells him that “ 120 years of items is more than you think “
The Hazzard Range Bulletin is published once a week and has been owned by Romeros since 1919, but dates back to 1899. The Bulletin has only been going by this name since March of this year, see between 1899 and Feb 2024 it was called The Herald.
One of the few big changes Brittany Romero and her partner Lily did after taking over the paper from Lauretta( Lily's mother ) in the fall of 2023 The first major change was changing the name back to what it was called from 1889 to 1899 when its name was changed by Brittany’s great, great grandfather after he bought Bulletin and Mill newspapers and renamed them the Herald after a city he was from on the East Coast paper. They chose Christmas Week to move from the old location at the corner of Second St and Old Mexico Ave ( NM 308 ) which was its home since 1920. Its new home is in the Back Goat Mining Company Building.
The Back Goat Mining Company Building that they bought in March of this year. It was opened in 1890 as the headquarters for The Back Goat Mining Company. In 1911 the building was sold to Henry Williams who in the winter of 1912 was remodeling it into one of the grandest hotels in the state. Well, the fire and flood of late Feb 1912 dashed his plans, He survived, but most of his family did not.
He sold the building to the county and left the state. The county used it until March 1940, when The Works Progress Administration ( WPA ) finished the new courthouse/county offices, it was then sold and reopened by Oct 1941 only a few short months before the Hazzard Range County and the whole USA entered WW2. The Hotel did great business through the 1940s and 1950s, but with mines closing in the 1950s and Interstate 25 bypassing the county in the mid-1960s the Hotel closed. In the 1970s-1990s Rio Grande Mid Bank leased the first floor and the two other floors were unused. In 2000 the bank was bought up by a chain and a new building was built. It was bought by Billy Tack owner of Tack Properties in 2019, but COVID-19 dashed his hopes to turn it into apartments. ,
After remodeling the first floor Romero’s next step is remodeling the next two floors into apartments so maybe Bill’s plan will come true after all, but 4 apartments will add more issues to the limited downtown parking that has plagued downtown Sparta ever since the arrival of automobiles
One of the other changes Romero’s made was buying KRTK radio buying KRTK radio off of G.D. Enterprise in Jan of this year that move happens in March 2025, but luckily it’s right next door so the move won’t be as far.
G.D. Enterprise is owned by George Dallas “G.D. “ Born in 1941 to the late Thomas and Mary Dallas. He took over as president of Dallas Land Company in 1966 age 25, after his father died in a car crash. In 1967 G.D changed the name of the company to G.D. Enterprises. G.D. Enterprises owns many properties and businesses in the county He was elected to the Hazzard Range County Commission in 1990 and reelected 7 more times before not seeking re-election in 2022, He is married to his wife Lucy of 53 years ( married 1971 ) they have three kids Katy was born in 1972, Charlie 1976 -2000 and Clint was Born in 1988 he is a Deputy sheriff and was promoted to Investigator in Sept 2023.
Katy Dallas is the Manager of KRTK Radio. Charlie lost his battle with drug addiction in 2000

The scene takes place in Sparta; the county seat. Law and Order Cafe is owned by retired Sheriff’s Lieutenant Joe Young ( 1973 to 2001 ) and his wife retired County Probate Judge Nancy ( 2002 to 2006 )
