pretty good read

 

Just out of curiosity I would have like to see the nubers. For the Tundra I saw towing the F250 on a trailer. The Tundra most likely had the highest tow rating for a Tundra it was RWD long bed ext cab.

I think the highest rating on the V8 Tundras is something like 10,000lbs. I estimated the weight of the gas 250 at 6300lbs, and the twin axle dovetail I'm guessing 18' weighing maybe 2000lbs. That's 8300lbs on a truck with a 10,000 max tow rating. If any of those #s are correct.

 

Good article.
Now queue the "...but I always..." crowd.
