    This exact reason for having it. Although I admit the more I drive it for day-to-day use the more I like it!

    So you drive a
    CHEVY and come here to trash talk, or? I had 3 Chevy's and every one shit the bed after the power train warranty expired. You can only be classisified as a TROLL! And Chevy owner.

    I don’t believe I was talking trash at all. I was genuinely curious if folks would still buy one. I’m a die hard Toyota fan and always have been. I have the Chevy I do now to haul my camper. Otherwise I would be in a Toyota.

    This whole troll thing needs to stop and jumping down others throats for a simple question. We know when people are trolling and that was not it.

    I have personally known this member for over a decade, and I can say with a certainty he is a Toyota enthusiast. In fact, he sold a Duramax to buy his Tundra and happily drove it for almost a decade and 150k trouble free miles.

    Oh yeah I have 3 camping trips coming up, and will be going over Chambers and Wolf Creek Pass on 2 of the trips, towing just under 5k trailer plus gear. Looking forward to it. These trucks love to work.

    Guess us Gen3 owners are sensitive given all the recent posts. Guess if a person shows Chevy their info and posts 'curious if any of you would go buy a new tundra today knowing what you know?' a person might think there may be another motivitation. Especially considering there is no indication in the persons info they own(ed), or drive a Tundra.

    My appology to @Muleycrazy13

    To answer your question. Yes I would buy another Tundra.

    Sure wish some of the 3rd gen owners would have stepped up and had a towing meet in Denver. Lots of curious members wanna see how well they do and see the features.

    We get it man. You all are a little jumpy with all that's going on.

    What I quoted here says a lot about you as a person. No harm no foul. :hattip::fistbump:

    Back to towing.

    That was before I got a Tundra, but if we ever have a chance to do something like that again I would participate if I was available. Sounds super fun

    Give me time to get my external cooler mod locked in stone and I will be happy to assist. Headed over Cottonwood Pass in a few weeks. If I don't like the results of the Derale 13402 I
    will be looking to double the BTU cooling rating on the next install. My tow is light - a 2000 lb dry weight pop-up. Just DM me.

    We used to do this on one of the off-road forums I was a part of. Lots of different trucks, mods, towing up Floyd Hill on I-70W. We had some shit talkers that had to be put in their place, but it wasn't a bad time and we all went to a bar off Ward Rd after the tow off.

    Some of the more surprising tow rigs at the time:

    -EcoBoost 3.5. Never got to try out the 450HP one in the limited trims (wasn't available at the time)
    -Porsche Cayenne Turbo. They can tow up to around 7k, but damn they do it well!!
    -SC Tundra. Most people had no idea how potent these 5.7L truck are with a SC. Surprised the shit out of me. It actually made me sell my Dodge Cummins and purchase my 2012 CM.

    How is it mounted?

    I need to locate a trailer again. All I have are goosenecks. I'm thinking it's a possibility though.

    I put a Magnuson SC in my Gen3 AT V6 3.5L Tacoma. It has plenty of power - blows up I70 through the Tunnel with ease pulling the camper. Only problem is the frame is too small for pulling the camper - thus the Tundra. Running Yotawerx Stryker Tune.

    I go by the bar you speak of every day.

    Tongue mount trailer- 2 inch ball. Forest River 207SE.

    I see how my question could have been received in a different manner than I had intended it to. No harm no foul carry on!

    Yes. I bought one 28 days ago.

    I had been watching the thread on turbo failures (last post over a year ago?) and then the one on bearing failure (that one is admittedly hot, lol) since months after the ‘22 was out. The only difference now is Toyota has admitted there is a problem and is taking responsibility for the fix.

    In my case I just don’t trust the big three and the Tacoma isn’t enough truck anymore.

    I have towed my Yamaha RMAX the past 2 weekends up North here in AZ to get some cooler weather and enjoy ripping through the pines, responsibly of course. No issues thus far with almost 9K on the clock. I'm not worried at all. If it dies, it dies, Toyota will fix it. My problem appeared after last weekend's tow when both of my trailer tires were discovered to have been separated after 3 years of use. The trailer has new shoes now and, like my truck, is ready for the next adventure. I plan on buying a travel trailer in the next few weeks, with a weight around 7K, and I'm not worried at all. Camping here we come!

    I do not have a temp guage for the transmission. I did not get any warning lights for temps. Went up and down a lot of steep grades over the two week trip and never felt like the truck was struggling at any point.
