Default 1/2 ton towing 145 tons...
It does not matter what brand you drive, I thought this was pretty cool. It would be better if it was an F150...

I wouldn't want to own that truck after this stunt... With that said, Toyota has some good advertising gimmicks.

Toyota = Tow a shuttle for a five-minute drive...
Ford = Crazy ing torture test with a celebrity endorser...
I think Ford has way better "advertising gimmicks"

It's too bad the Tundra has the worst frame strength of the 4...

Not to mention it's hideous front end. I compare it to a whale with down syndrome.

pretty cool, but I SURE dont want to be the owner of that poor poor truck after that... the transmission must have SCREAMED somethin fierce.


dont get me wrong, its not a BAD truck, I just prefer my F series MUCH more. now if you'll excuse me, I need to go listen to my truck idle for 15 minutes to feel a little happier....
