Mine has tow/haul mode, an excellent integrated brake controller, a 10 speed transmission and even pro trailer backup assist, but 18 hours driving? You can keep that Jim....

Consumer Reports may rate the Tundra 'significantly' above the F150, but I certainly don't.

Don't get me wrong. The Tundra is a good truck, and Toyotas do hold their value. But I'm not looking at...

Amen! Don't lock yourself out of one of the most beautiful countries in the world, with some of the best scenery, best camping and the best people you'll ever find.

I agree, if purchasing. Because of my line of work though, leasing makes more sense. I'm out of town frequently as a consultant, and have no office to commute to when I'm home. Because of that, I put...

While it's true that a higher axle ratio means better towing capability, for me it comes down to what I'm towing. If it's a 8000 lb trailer behind me instead of 4000, my axle choice might be...

It's already on order. I've very specific preferences which are mainly stock, because my emphasis is on the best fuel efficiency, rather than towing capacity. My 2015 2.7L Lariat has the tow package,...

Yeah, although I don't yet have the 10 speed, I know about the aluminum. I'm an "early adopter".

I certainly do. I could fill volumes about how great my 2015 2.7L Ecoboost has been. In a couple months I'm swapping it out for a 2018, with the direct and port injection that you mentioned, and a 10...

Mine's not high mileage Allan, and I've no info on the long term downside (if any) of the EcoBoost design. In my case it's the perfect fit, but then again I am leasing and only put about 8K miles on...

I do slightly better not towing. Average towing mileage is similar to yours, about 15.2 mpg. Non towing averages 25, with an even mix of freeways at 65 mph and secondary roads at 55 mph. 2015, non...

True enough, but the tow vehicle in the photo is an XC90, max towing of 5000 lbs if properly equipped. The trailer is an "International", with a base (dry) weight of around 4800 lbs. Not much margin...

It is crazy, but I see examples of it all the time. Over on FGRV the typical debate about tow vehicles starts with something like "I've towed a (insert whatever 3000 or 3500 lb trailer here) with a...

Right now you can get a new but previous model year Lariat 4x2 for around 42K here, due to the model year discounts and other incentives. Maybe 3 or 4K more for the 4x4. An XLT can be had for around...

I'm pretty biased, I admit. But to my mind the perfect tow vehicle for a 21 right now (or a 19 or a 5.0TA for that matter) is my F150 with an Ecoboost V6. Tow a little with one and you'll see what I...
