    Azul performed flawlessly. We are in the process of moving from Houston to the Austin area. Azul towed a very full and heavy trailer multiple times, a car hauler, and a few bedloads. Stops great, pulls hard, not too bad on mpg. Averaged 12.2 pulling that trailer at 70-80 the whole way and 11.9 with the car hauler. Most importantly it was comfortable for my back after loading and unloading. Not sure my f150 wouldve avoided breakdown...not having to worry about it, priceless. Hit 60000 on one of the tow runs. Hood still peeling like a snake, but will deal with it later. I love my Tundra. Tow mode is awesome.

    The Highlander has also been great. My wife has had it about 6 months. We still have her taurus wagon and my f150 but i have been given the keys to both and have been told to pile miles on them and use them up. Toyota has replaced the blue oval in this household for sure...reliability, value, comfort, utility, looks...the Tundra and Highlander check all the blocks.

    Loaded with 6000lbs ish on the ball and another 1000 ish in the cab for my sons gym stuff and another 500 in the bed. Squatting but stable. I could tell i was loaded but Azul felt capable unlike my f150 wouldve. Mpg surprised me the most. Equalish to my f150 with many more ponies

    Welcome from Pflugerville!
    Glad your truck performed well. It’s a gratifying feeling when you get to put the truck to the test and it goes on without a hitch!

    I pull my race car, and with a total trailer load of 4,000 lbs, I've found the tow/haul mode unnecessary. Almost annoying in fact. With a load like that the truck pulls it effortlessly. A heavier trailer or mountainous terrain would change that, though.
