The toyota pulls and stops better IMO than any other half ton P/U out
there, and yes I do own one. Plenty of power, brakes are AWESOME! When we first
bought it, and were in the process of moving, I was hooked to a steel stock BP
trailer with both horses loaded, and the trailer brakes were NOT hooked up yet,
plus had the bed loaded down with everything that would fit, and it still
stopped on a dime, much better than my Ford dually with a three horse G/N with
the brakes properly adjusted, and working. Seems folks like comparing the Tundra
to 3/4 trucks, which isn't fair, it is a 1/2 ton P/U rated to two 7,200 lbs, and
it does GREAT if you plan on staying within the towing rating. However, it is
not as friendly to overloading as some other trucks, the suspension is meant for
that weight and no more, however it does have the best ride I have ever found in
a truck, more like a car!
I'm pretty sure the Toyota isn't built for heavy duty
hauling. Laney
