10-12-12 Tundra Endeavour - Los Angeles
Seeing the Tundra being pulled in person was one historical event. Seeing the Endeavour in person...speechless!
The stock Toyota Tundra Crew Max Limited 4X4 that pulled Endeavour. All OEM, no modifications. Retired Endeavour Astronaut Garrett Reisman and currently an Engineer for Space-X. One of 3 bumper stickers that will be available at your local Toyota dealer...

Lmfao. I remember reading an article and a bunch of patriots were complaining why an American branded truck wasn't the one pulling the shuttle.
Best part of it is.... There are more USA made parts in the Tundra than all of the other US Truck brands. LOL

While awesome as it is, there is still a self-propelled "dolley" that the space shuttle is on. Due to the size constraint, they had to use a smaller one and therefore used a truck to aid in the moving.
Still pretty awesome though. Now to get a wallpaper of it being towed.
