Once I got educated on towing, payloads and such, I dumped the 1500 with 3.08 rear end and got a 2500HD with a 4.10. It will handle anything I would have reason to tow. Also, as far as 4wd is concerned, 4 wheel low comes in real handy moving the trailer around the yard on wet grass and stuff.
DITTO!
I really think it's the gears, the TUNDRA is a 4:10 (or 4:11 I'd have to go look) but the engine 5.7 is about the same as the Chevy 350 CI or the DODGE HEMI the key with most of the purchase is, how long do you plan on keeping it and re-sale value...That can be checked on KBB
I too only used my F-250 4WD only twice, both times was getting out of a "close place" where you needed that nudge...
