430 rear gears... ouch! U hit the red line at 75mph? Lol. I bet it could tow like a mother but dang!Tundra has a towing capacity of 10,000 lbs, 5.7L at about 390 hp, 405 ft lbs torque and a 4:30 rear end. Oh, she can tow.
If it is like the 2016 4R with 4.0 V6 - it is borderline. Tacoma ratings and suspension and drive train specs are all over the map, But assuming the ratings cover 5500 pounds that you absolutely need, it will be adequate probably not great.Anyone tow with a Toyota Tacoma v6 4x4 ?
Smiles per gallon...All while getting at like 4 gallons to the mile!
I liked my Tundra, but the mileage was atrocious. She was a beast though.
I had a 2012 Taco 4x4 4.0 3:73 with the Baja package so it had the slightly upgraded suspension. Towing my 190 it did good on short trips but with the 5 speed auto trans, on long trips it was either lock out OD and guzzle fuel or deal with a trans that couldn't decide what gear was the best to be in. Get some wind and at times you would feel the boat back there; though overall it was manageable and I never felt like I was a crash waiting to happen.Anyone tow with a Toyota Tacoma v6 4x4 ?
