21' F250 to a 18' Tundra

I saw a newer F-150 crew cab the other day with a load of gravel. The tires were buried way into the wheel wells. I'm surprised the rear bumper wasn't scraping the asphalt. I don't know if the driver will be bitching about the leaf springs for the next 2 decades, but Ford doesn't do these guys any favors by advertising payload and towing capacities only for the single cab models with the payload upgrade packages. These guys buy a crew cab and wonder why they're on the ground with 1500-2000 lb in the bed or on the ball hitch.

My '14 f150 has holes in the bed from a 5th wheel......

I really wonder about people sometimes.

I’m not sure why 200k would be a milestone for any newer vehicle of any make for the last 25 years. I’ve got two in the driveway now 2007 Duramax with over 300K keeps on trucking, a 2007 Ford Taurus 215k every day driver. I’ve also owned several more makes and models over 200K pushing 300k most were still running.

If you need the payload, you’ll never get it out of the tundra. I love my tundra(s). Owned a few. The g2 is great. If you want a truck to do what most people actual need, the tundra will exceed that. If you are the rare type that needs the towing and payload, you’re going to be missing the 250.

I would love to justify the 3/4 or 1 ton but I don’t tow enough. Tundra does everything I need

How do you guys with Tundra's manage the relatively low payload? (or just send it and not pay too much attention?)

Send it...just be sure to retrofit a trans cooler on the latest gen 2.5.
