I've towed a 7600 pound rig 30 miles or so with a rig powered by the
Toyota V8 engine you are discussing. I towed at 45-50 mph in order not
to put excess strain on the motor. We did OK.


Impressive. Yo the man!

I'm not a big GM fan, but my current yard truck is an '89 Chevy 1500.
Original 350 motor, tranny, rear end. Interior and body all original.
Everything works,it drives and rides great, and it still looks good.
At 16 years old, it's worth more than that Toy.

Besides, it'll snatch that puny-assed Toyota all over the place.
3500# towing limit? That's not a towing limit... it's a warning... to
not try to tow anything!



Give it up dude. Any Toyota truck will put ANY GM or Ford truck to shame.


OK, "dude", surf's up. Let's give it a whirl.

Any Toyota truck includes Doug's, so it qualifies, right? Doug's
towing capacity is 3500 lbs (snicker), so when he hooks up to
Shortwave's boat, the game is all over. It can't safely tow the boat
and an ice chest full of fish home. Period.

Enter a Ford F150. It can hookup and tow both the boat and the tiny
Toy truck home with a 8500 lb towing capacity.


I know what I'm about to suggest is completely insane, but were you
interested in comparing similar models? A Ford F-150 cannot be compared to a
Toyota Tacoma.



Yes, you seem to be insane. I was replying to your buddy Dan, who
wrote: "Give it up dude. Any Toyota truck will put ANY GM or Ford
truck to shame". Caps were his. I compared any Toyota to any Ford.
Try reading next time.


Who is ashamed now?


Is this about shame? Are you aware that there are drugs that can help with
the REAL issue you've introduced here?


It obviously was about shame to Dan. He said it was. Honestly, if
this is the best your reading comprehension gets, I'm going to just
stop. Wrestling pigs, and all that...




But hey... the Toyota is not a bad vehicle... it will get the
groceries, pick up some ice and beer, make a pizza run... oh, you get
the idea. But if you need to do some real work, tow some real weight,
need a full sized truck, you'll need to look to Ford, GM, or Dodge for
your answer. The ricer trucks are getting close to matching the
capabilities of a standard American truck,. but can't come close to
the abilities af a F-250 or GM 2500 series.

Once again... 3500# towing limit? That's not a towing limit... it's
a warning... to not try to tow anything!


You have to be a moron to own a vehicle capable of towing something you have
no intention of owning.


No, you have to be a moron to buy a vehicle so wimpy that later you
regret it. Remember this jewel?

What does this little yacht weigh, including 3 bags of ice and the
trailer?


3,500 lbs or there abouts.


Damn...

..
That was YOU regretting that you were such a moron that you bought a
wimpy truck, and had to pass on the "deal of the century".

Buh-bye.
