The Mat-Su rivers and lakes are home to the spawning grounds of chinook, coho, sockeye, pink, and chum salmon. The area is home to 31 state parks and campgrounds. The 23,000-square-mile (60,000 km 2) Matanuska-Susitna Borough (the Alaskan equivalent of a county) governs the Mat-Su Valley. According to the 2010 Census, the borough's population is 88,995, a 50% increase since 2000. The Mat-Su Valley was originally inhabited by Athabaskan people and was explored by Russians in 1818.

Our first outing with the Tacoma did not include any towing or payload hauling, though the ratings are in. The 2016 Tacoma will tow a maximum of 6,800 lbs while maximum payload is rated at 1,620, although the popular 4Ã4 double cab V6 automatic is only rated to haul 1,120 lbs of payload. While the drive is hugely improved, the seating position in the new Tacoma remains a problem.
