Its V-8 engine keeps the hefty vehicle on pace with small cars, even while towing a trailer, but the ride quality stays pleasant and smooth. Also consider the upcoming 2020 model, which offers a new TRD Pro trim level for maximum off-road capability. 2019 RAV4 The 2019 RAV4 is a brilliant combination of value for money, comfort, and technology. Drivers love the small SUV for its interior, which is quiet, comfortable, and roomy in both seat rows. The cargo space is also impressive for a compact SUV, reaching up to 37.6 cubic feet.

So if you're going to have a tent in Library Park during the festivities as a vendor or for a community group, business, or church, now's the time to start brainstorming how you want to decorate your tent. Christmas decorations? An old beat-up station wagon parked nearby? How about Cousin Eddie's grill? Whatever you decide, have fun with it! more Three Days of Fun The festival features the Wilson Family Shows carnival, entertainment in Library Park, and the big parade at noon on Saturday. Everyone always wants to know about armbands for the carnival because it's the only way to go. You can get armbands for your kids all three days. Presale armbands for Thursday and Friday nights from 6-10 p.m. will be for sale for $20 before the festival at both Heartland Bank locations, Flanagan Bank, City Hall, Bushert's General Store, and Nails by Karen.

The Toyota Tundra has long been one of the most popular trucks on the road, and that status is likely to be cemented if the rumors flying about the 2021 version of this vehicle turn out to be true. While there hasn't been any official announcement to date, we do know a few crucial details about the 2021 Toyota Tundra that should excite everyone who loves getting around town in a pickup truck. New Hybrid Powertrain Out of all the things we know about the 2021 Tundra, the most intriguing bit of information is that Toyota is planning to add a hybrid powertrain to this pickup. While the hybrid system is only rumored at this point, there has been a lot of speculation about what adding such a system to the Tundra would entail. more For starters, it's expected that the electric motor of this system would be paired with a turbocharged V-6 engine, which means the Tundra would provide an ideal combination of power and efficiency. Speaking of power, there has been some speculation as to the ratings we might see with this system. While we'll obviously need to wait for confirmation from Toyota, many believe that this powertrain will put out up to 500 pound-feet of torque and 450 horsepower, making this model perfect for both work and play. New Architecture Another exciting rumor about the upcoming 2021 Toyota Tundra is that it will be based on the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) and that it would share this platform with Toyota's other world-class truck, the Tacoma. Basing the Tundra on the TNGA allows for several improvements that should please motorists everywhere. For instance, thanks to the TNGA, production times should be vastly improved, meaning this truck will be widely available. The new platform also allows for lightweight powertrain designs, which should boost performance and efficiency. Other benefits of the TNGA include upgraded handling and better overall ride quality. An Upgraded Suspension As you would expect for a vehicle that hasn't been officially announced, Toyota has been very tight-lipped about the latest version of the Tundra. Fortunately, thanks to some recent spy photos, there are a few other things we may know about this vehicle. The photos taken of the new Tundra show a vehicle covered in heavy wrapping, particularly in the rear. This has led many people to believe that the 2021 Tundra may very well be revealed with a brand-new rear suspension. A new rear suspension would be a huge development because it would mean better stability and a smoother ride, which is beneficial whether you need a truck for work or play. The release of the 2021 Toyota Tundra probably won't happen until late 2020, but until then, you can tide yourself over thanks to these exciting rumors about this upcoming truck. Make sure to keep an eye out online for official statements about the Tundra, and when this full-size pickup hits the market, plan a trip to Fox Toyota of El Paso so you can go for a test drive!

If you like hiking and mountain biking on rugged terrain, you'll love to explore Franklin Mountains State Park in El Paso. Largest Urban Park in the U.S. Franklin Mountains State Park is completely within the El Paso City limits and is the largest urban park in the United States. The park boasts a diverse ecosystem of birds, reptiles, and mammals. Birders find the park an excellent bird-watching area with more than 100 species of birds that live or visit the area. Native Americans lived in the area for nearly 12,000 years, hunting animals and harvesting plants for food and medicine. Their stories are illustrated in the pictographs and petroglyphs on rock walls and boulders. more Concerned citizens formed the Franklin Mountains Wilderness Coalition after developers started building roads in the mountains in the 1970s. The organization's advocacy led to the passage of a bill that gave the Franklin Mountains to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, which acquired the property in 1981 and opened the park in 1987. Only limited development has been done within the park, which has few paved roads. The headquarters are in McKelligon Canyon. With elevations from around 4,000 feet to over 7,000 feet, you'll find habitats that house diverse plants and animals. Desert grassland and creosote bush are common in the lowlands, while in the peaks you'll see dense shrubs and trees. Chihuahuan Desert vegetation is the most prolific in the park. Hiking, Biking, and Rock Climbing The park has more than 100 miles of trails for hiking and mountain biking within nearly 27,000 acres in the high-desert mountains. If you head out on the trails, plan for rugged desert terrain. Park officials urge hikers and cyclists to carry plenty of water, bring cell phones, wear quality shoes, dress appropriately for the weather, and travel with another person. GeoBetty Tours provides guided hiking and mountain biking tours in the park. The park also offers scheduled public hikes. You'll see some wildlife on your hike, such as mule deer, coyotes, and squirrels, as well as red-spotted toads, eastern collared lizards, and gopher snakes. You'll also view plenty of birds. Two Great Texas Wildlife Trails are the El Paso Uplands Loop, where scaled quail, mourning doves, and white-winged doves are often seen, and El Paso Rio, where more than 200 species of birds have been recorded. Rock climbers should climb in the designated areas in McKelligon Canyon or Sneed's Cory in the Tom Mays Unit. Photography If you want to take photos, you'll have stunning opportunities, especially if you take the trail to North Franklin Peak. It's a steep climb, but you'll be rewarded with the best views in the region from the highest peak in El Paso at over 7,000 feet above sea level. Camping You can camp in the Tom Mays Unit. Walk to one of the 14 tent sites or park your vehicle at one of the five RV sites. Group campsites are available. Campsites don't have water or electricity, so you'll need to bring water for drinking, cooking, and cleaning up. You don't have to leave El Paso to escape to the wilderness. Just head to Franklin Mountains State Park. Image via uıɐɾ ʞ ʇɐɯɐs | Licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0
