I looked at the 250s and Chevy HD but the tundra on paper had everything I needed including 0% interest which just became available on the ford 250s. I purchased my tundra to tow a cruiser yacht at 10,000lbs. I tow it about 30-40 miles from chino ca to long beach twice a month. I have to say this truck is simply amazing. I have taken my rig to Laughlin last summer 300 miles and the drive was stable with ample power. I never appreciated diesels for there smell, noise and during the gas increase the higher price at the pump. Plus the price for a fully loaded diesel compared to my fully loaded 4×4 tundra was significant and again the 0% sealed the deal for me. So toyota has provided me with a 1/2 ton that gets the job done for me.

mk – Leafs for sure. Can’t imagine a coil spring rear on a HD truck at any point in the near future.

That is why I am asking opp. If the dodge ram 3/4 ton has rear coil springs, then that would impress me since probably would ride smoother than any 3/4 ton on the market, but I doubt it does.

Leaf springs, they are not made to ride smooth.

Jason, any ideas on if the 3/4 ton Ram who I think, not sure, won an award for best 2010 pickup of the year according to one magazine opinion, has coil springs for the rear end like on the 1/2 ton pickup to make it ride smoother? I doubt it since rear leaf springs support more weight, although the 3/4 ton trucks I have been in ride rougher than _hit when not loaded down. I’d never buy a 3/4 ton truck unless towing over 8K regularly of which not many regular customers do more than a few times per year unless in construction/contracting.

Che – The link I provided is just a small portion of an entire special report. You can find links to the entire special report on PickupTrucks.com. When you read, you’ll find that the Tundra isn’t the best truck according to them. In any case, the bottom line here is that one auto critic has a high opinion of the Tundra’s towing – take it for what it is…or don’t. Makes no difference to me. There’s no disputing one fact, however – the Tundra’s transmission has one more gear than the Ram. Anyone who has towed will tell you an extra gear usually makes a big difference…so this report makes a lot of sense.
