    I agree totally. In the sense of over reacting like an infantile infant like I did before. @jberry813 knows his shit. I never hated Jason. heh heh. Love hurts.......................

    I understand that, possessing a CDL I'm well aware. Having put a Tundra DC through what amounts to a real life torture test as far as hauling goes, that's the amount of weight that I've found you can (not should) haul. The gist of what I was trying to say is that if you overload by a little bit, it's not gonna break your truck in half. But hell, maybe my opinion is a bit jaded on GVWR's having worked in production agriculture lol.

    Tow capacity is definitely a concern. A concern I'd rather discuss. After all a Tundra did tow the space shuttle at low speed for a few miles. I am not going to comment on this because of zero politics (even though we have a "say hello to my little friends" thread), but this is what I'm referring to and why I'm not compatible with CA :http://www.breitbart.com/california/2016/04/20/gunmeggedon-underway-gun-bans-mag-bans-ca/ :infantry::infantry::infantry:

    I have no problem looking for it for a couple of minutes. Big counties, I do have a very decent metal detector, I could try finding it for a few minutes... heh heh(I love eating fresh fries while discussing tow capacities, seriously)

    Now that I think of it, there are some very huge farm equipment. What the largest you have towed? If not, why not hook something up if you can and post some pics.

    Most of the big stuff I never pulled with the work Tundra. I only pulled 1,000 gal fert trailers in the Yota while my Duramax was in the shop. These were a few of the things we pulled with 3/4 tons:

    image.jpg
    The tractor and that big ass red spud tank.

    image.jpg
    A stinger table for unloading the Trinity trailers. Was quite a task loading that onto a gooseneck after we snapped the axle lol.

    image.jpg
    That was one beast of a scooper tractor. For only being 100 hp it probably weighed 12,000 lbs.

    We obviously used a semi for this:
    image.jpg
    That was the biggest/heaviest thing I ever pulled: 53 ft quad axle Trinity trailer with 80,000 lbs of spuds in it.

    Love the "big ass" Spudnik. Nothin runs like a Deere. (although it probably flattens out taters a little bit)

    My property is in San Luis valley. Monte Vista area is big tater country too. I've seen some of those Trinity trailers. Monte Vista has a Spud Fest in Sept. A Spud Queen too. May actually go next year. Can't hurt. Lots of potential tow capacity to be seen. Should hook up my Tundra to one of those Trinity's and see what happens. woah!!

    Yeah ha we somehow squeezed it through that bin door, only had 1/8th of an inch difference in width. That tank can hold 500 cwt of taters (50,000 lbs, roughly one truckload of spuds for the reefer trailers).

    That little tractor in the post before was just for scooping potatoes out of the bin. The field tractors ranged from 240-700 hp.

    Seriously? I make a smart ass comment on an public forum with the word "fuck" in it. And when I realize I offended you, I tried to recant on the thread and even send you a PM trying to explain the humor I was poking at myself. I even offer up to delete all the posts and start over (which you chose to ignore). Hell I even texted a mod to try to smooth things over. And you decide to go the passive aggressive route. I'm thrilled for you, skippy. Good luck with your self sense of entitlement.

    Who said , doesn't change tow capacity but it does fix payload capacity :)
