OK Ken, but if you ever did need a tow, would you rather it was a Toyota, Dodge or FORD ??

Ken....
Are you trying to tell us that you can actually keep a car in one piece for 4 years? Hard to believe.

It wasn't the Dodge that screwed up our trips, it was those stinking TOYOTA Landcruisers. Worst vehicle in Baja BAR NONE. Funny thang is:

The Tundra is the equivalent of a 1/2 ton truck. It is fullsize, just like an F150 is. It's towing capacity, however, is quite a bit better than other
1/2 ton trucks. |
You made this statement so please tell me which trucks that it is "quite a bit better then", or are you relying on their TV ads... frankly I don't
know why the truth in advertising cops (if there is any)have not ask which trucks their brakes are bigger then...Nissian maybe...Tacoma stripped down models chevy
I just love their ad of a tundra pulling a shipping container up a canyon
wall...breakaway shots...different cable pulling systems...some shots have no cable at all...not mention, without help it would be impossible to do
the transition part. Some real con artist work there...not that others have not done as bad, on a lesser scale.

This is becoming more fodder for the Boys Will Be Boys Board.
We love to talk trucks..............unashamedly!
Now, if someone could just get Miss International in the back of an 8 foot bed (sorry Tonka owners), we'd have a real BWBB post.

Tugofwar for pinks???
My Dodge vs ANY Toyota on this bored. Any day, Lockers or not. Are u up to the challenge??
I think Al may be right. Maybe those purported to be reliable tough Toyota rigs are actually old Jeeps in disguise.

I was specifically referring to towing capacity. And, in the realm of 1/2 ton trucks, it's better than all of them, when it comes to ratings.
I'm relying on the specs of the truck, check them out.

Roberto...I am not trying to hassle you, but I knew all along...toytoa claim was bogus...I wasted my time and did the research.
I have not called a dealer to confrim, but as for as I can determine, there is no 2008 tow package available for the tundra yet...
This is what I found:
Whether you're towing for work or recreation, you'll want F-150 pulling for you. No other pickup in its class tows more. With max towing of 11,000
pounds it can get you and your gear there confidently.
2008 Ford F 150
4X4 drive w/410 rear gear
5.4 L Gas engine w/air
$19860 w/ Max tow package of 11,000#
Toyota:
Towing capability
The tow package, standard
on all i-Force V8 models,
increases towing capacity significantly,
up to 10,800#
pounds, depending on the
model and drive train
(this is strip base model price) truck above not released
Cost: $27495 does not include price of tow package, engine, transmission, or rear gears to tow 10800#
Est: add $4000-5000 to get to their brag capacity
Sorry about that Toyota lovers...bet your wallet stays empty

Let's see I don't remember any Dodge trucks on the pole line road. Tell me when did you last go over the summit, I think never. However I'm ready to
take you on over the summit and the pole line road. Name the date and time. Challenge accepted.
