    Slapping on a 6k load of feed and driving to Laredo in summer = no buano
    That video is straight uphill through Eisenhower tunnel, with the pedal mashed.
    Not a typical scenario.
    But then again, if you live in the mountains it might be a everyday thing for you.
    I have faith in Toyota .
    I'll shut up now.

      I live in the mountains. And literally have driven that tunnel multiple times the last two hunting seasons with a 16' trailer with a Yamaha Rhino, a Yamaha Grizzly, and my hunting/camp gear on it...plus going up and over Vail pass each way every trip as well....zero issues on my '19.

        I wouldn't expect issues now. I'm thinking 100 - 150K Where as I was hoping for 300K miles.

        I don't tow heavy very often, but it seems like if you have a tow package, the tranny cooler should be part of it.

          I'll still take my chances. It's going to be way better odds than Ford, Chevy or Dodge.

              Why do all this when you can just simply go buy a Ford and be done with it?

                Actually I have read about decent number of Tundras that rolled over a million miles. That may be why the dealers didn't seem interested.

                  I read an interview with the Chief Engineer of the Tundra on the fact that the big 3 sold more trucks than Toyota did and he said "it's never been our goal to be the biggest sellers of Trucks, it's always been our goal to be the best truck on the road.

                    Because people want a reliable pickup, not a ford pickup!
