I will be the first to say I am not a ford fan at all so take this with a grain of salt, and in reality applies to any of the 5 major half tons, (titan, tundra, 150, silverado, ram) BUT I do shake my head when people think that because Ford says it can tow 12k pounds, lets do it....12000 pounds pushing around a 5k truck - no thanks!
My Tundra is rated to 10k - would never put 10k on there and tow it around. Now 70-80 percent of that (7-8k) you bet - I think any half ton is well served with that principle.
Heck, my 2016 Ram 3500 was rated to 17,200 pounds, but to me, that much weight needs a dually for nothing more than stability.
As to the Tundra - outside of towing and payload - it is a very well built, finely put together truck. Finishes are top notch, I don't have squeaks or rattles. Rarely do you ever hear about engine or transmission leaks with these trucks. They are truely designed and built to be 200k plus trucks.
