Going to eat my words... fell in love with the tundra on a test drive recently and bought one last night. Paid about $35k for a 2012 4x2 Limited with tow package of course, and got $8.5k on trade for the f250. It has 11,000 lbs tow capacity and I will pull no more than 8,000, usually 7,000. Will use it as my DD most of the time, and hoping for ~20 mpg... 10-12 mpg when towing. Already starting with the mods. Rear sway and "RAS" system to improve towing stability when cornering and braking. And bolt-on power should give me +40 ft-lbs. I'll post pics on my Z journal later.
