We have been towing our 2006, 27 foot Cougar fifth-wheel all over the western United States with our 2007 Tundra double cab, piling up more than 30,000 miles already. We added some airbags over the rear axle to beef up the 1/2 ton suspension just as a precaution. Other than that, it’s stock all the way: 5.7L, 4X2. It has out-performed both of the Ford Super Duties that preceeded it. The ‘99 F250 is on it’s third tranny with fewer than 150K miles, and the ‘05 F350 is in the hands of some poor sucker in Minnesota, with its lemon sticker still in place. That 1 ton boat anchor from Ford couldn’t even pull the above mentioned trailer over Pacheco Pass, a gentle little highway over the coastal hills in Central California. It blew out its first tranny in just 2200 miles – yes, twenty-two HUNDRED – not thousand, and its first turbo at 15K miles. It was all down hill from there…at least we could coast down hill! Ford was forced to repurchase the vehicle after the arbitrator ruled in our favor, stating in part, “…the customers’ concerns about the safety of the vehicle are vindicated…” As for you Chevy owners, the heavy duty trucks with the DuraMax/Allison combo seem to have been worthwhile, but why do Chevy truck owners view their vehicles as phallic symbols? Sheez – Grow up – it’s a piece of hardware.

Again, sad that some people have nerve to say others don’t have a life when they are the one with nothing to do but worry about a product they don’t even own.

Rob – That’s true. Despite Dan’s delivery, I think his point is that you shouldn’t call a half-ton anything more than a half ton. So, I think the answer to my question is that “this is a dumb idea.” Still, it can’t hurt to ask right?

Dan – You said that “I will check this page and poke fun at ya with no life dreaming about having a date.” Do you know what projection is?

Dan that’s funny when I look at my book on the Tundra’s state a Crewmax 4×4 with tow package can tow 10,100lbs. My Crewmax has a 4×2 with a tow package of 10,400. This is straight out of the Tundra book. SO Dan you finally figured how to put your name down. I thought it was a long name hard to spell.

Even a modified (reinforced, stiffer) version of the current Tundra frame would fall far short of the domestic’s 3/4 ton real working capability. Most of the current 3/4 ton domestics, bone stock, are easily capable of handling far more weight than they are rated for.

2010 Tundra Crewmax with a Max Tow capacity of 8100 lbs with a 4×4 5.7l and tow package. Once a month I will check this page and poke fun at ya with no life dreaming about having a date. Its pretty funny I know more about your Trucks then you do. You want the VIN of the 2010 with the 8100lb capacity there was also 2 2009 4×2 Crewmax TRD (Poor man cant afford a real truck version) with tow capacity well under the 10k rating and a Rock edition with the same 8100lb. Pretty cool they put it right on the window sticker. What is up with the TRD package on the 4×2?? Ford has one that is pretty cool called FX2, do not get this confused with the FX4. They are proud to say its a 2wd. Then theres Chevy, funny the Z71 is 2wd unless it says 4X4 under it. Looks like NUMMI is rubbing off in more than one way. Prerunner, wanna see a real truck look at the Ford Raptor. Now there is a factory Baja truck, you want a PRERUNNER, we build the real thing. Mickey, you must be leaving your computer unlocked due to the fact some ignorant lady keeps posting comments under your name. Hows life as a security guard??
