Tundras are fine if you don`t need a positraction and are happy with an ill designed frame that is half the thickness of any of the American made Pickup and live in a State that has no winters.If you own one in Wisconsin you should flush the frame daily in the winter before it rusts away.

i bought a new '15 f250 CC with the 6.2 and have been very happy with it except for the gas mileage. the heaviest thing i've towed is a mini excavator with a dual wheel trailer and it handled it up and down the hills of PA without working hard at all. gas mileage is 10.2 according to the computer. that sucks as far as i am concerned. otherwise it is an awesome truck.

10.2 towing the Mini-X or 10.2 lifetime combined? Either way, it's no worse than what a 5.7L Tundra is going to give most folks and that F-250 is a lot more "truck" than a Tundra.

If they had those gals pole-dancing at the busiest bar in the county then pooled them dolla-beels they could have new tires on at least 2 of those trucks inside of 6Mo.

6-speed tranny
4WD

Will try and post few pics shortly.

The Lariat trim level makes for a very comfortable and great looking truck and that Certified Warranty is a big plus! The MSRP of the last new one I looked at was $75k, how'd you come out on yours?

Well on mine, with Gator tri-fold tonneau cover, spray-in bedliner, factory chrome step bars, FX4 package, up-fitter switches, LED bed lights, factory carpet mats (soon to be replaced w/ Husky liners), LED Roof marker lights, remote start, Navigation, Blind-spot System, and 10K GVR Pkg, I ended up at $52,300. This one has the 20” wheels and 275/65/R20 Michelin LTX AT2 tires on it.

I traded my 2012 Tundra and put some $ down as well. Goal is to pay it off in around 14 months!

I got a left-over 2019 Ram 3500 4X4 last June. It has the HO Cummins and 6-speed Aisin transmission, 3.73 rear end. Rated to tow over 23K and I think around 3,100 lb. payload. It gets around 18 mpg on summer diesel and will tow anything I will ever own. Paid right at $50K for a tradesman with some upgrades like bigger touchscreen, cloth seats, etc. It tows a 16K lb, equipment trailer like a kitten on a string. This is the best towing pickup I have ever owned, by far.

Here's a pic of it towing a dead F250 home.

I recommend a Tundra. Mine tows 8500 LBS no problem. Just get the tow package, most come with it.
