A bit of Chicken-Little here IMO. I just finished a 4700 mile 3-week cruise from eastern Iowa to northern California with both interstates and VERY twisty mountain roads and 8% grades. My '08 Tundra with "dangerous" P-rated tires @ 40 lbs. handled it all confidently and comfortably towing my 7,000 loaded Outback 25 footer.

You are comparing a Toyota Tundra which is a light-duty "1/2 ton" pickup truck that weighs around 5500lbs off the lot to a Dodge MegaCab 1500 which is actually a 3/4 ton truck and weighs almost 8000lbs off the lot.
Apples and oranges.
The Dodge comes with LT Load Range E tires from the factory. Your Tunrdra came with P-rated.
Someone cheaped out on the tires on the Dodge.
