Your ideas seem to be very similar to mine. As I said in my opening post, I've pulled that 8000 pounds all over hell with the Tundra with no problems whatsoever. It is not the per fact truck for towing, but by driving 55-60 MPH I get where I am going alright. I suspect a 3/4 ton Chevy would do as well or better. I rarely drive anywhere when there isn't a good possibility on running into a deer, elk, moose or bear on the road, so I don't drive 80 when towing, no matter if the truck will do it or not. I don't have unlimited funds, and those extra thousands that a diesel will cost will buy most of a trip to Africa for me, which I would enjoy more than a few more foot pounds of torque.
