I tow a couple large trailers and the Tundra isn't up to the task. Tried and proven while having a friend, tow my camp trailer with his Tundra V8. My old diesel walks off and leaves it pulling more weight, especially over the Cascade passes! Drive what you need, but don't think everyone has Toyota needs, many needs exceed Toyota's capabilities! YMMV
Agree 100%, Toyota trucks lack the power to tow, they are great otherwise.

Same here, I totally agree. That’s why I have both. My little Tacoma is an awesome little Firewood getter.. Awesome off-road capabilities in tight spots overall, I love the damn thing. But I have a few diesel pick ups to choose from either a 7.3 6.0 or a 5.9 Cummings six speed.
