ShinerBrock aka Denvermike, every time a non UAW built product turns up you mysteriously appear out of the blue, quoting rubbish and trying to disrupt the thread, your objective no doubt
Well a Tacoma is no I tonne Pickup Truck for starters. Your F150 would have trouble taking the payload to start with. How do you know how a F150 would tow better than a 1 Tonne? Practical experience?Their are vastly more non Pickup vehicles that can tow more than a F250. That is the reason they do not sell outside NA.
I am not trying to put down US Pickups, but you invent fabrications, that do not exist

Pull this without squatting

No Options are vast. Many U.S. pickup Trucks are down rated here and elsewhere, because the "magic dust" they accrued in the U.S. Is not recognised Internationally

What do you get that carries more than 6,000lb, has a very short turning circle and can go Off Road?
stability. I have been in a Toyota Tacoma with add-a-liefs hauling about 1,700 lbs of dirt. It didn't squat past level, but it did not even come close to controlling the weight (due to its size) like my 2500 does with even more weight. Towing is the same way. I can guarantee that my 2500(or my F150) would tow the 7,000 lbs, that these midsizers are rated to tow, with a lot more control and a lot less white knuckles. So again, which one you is better depen

In Australia, you pretty much only have the midsize option in a pickup unless you want to pay the high costs for a full size conversion. This means that you have no option but to use your midsizers for loads th

If you want between 1,400 to 2,400 lbs payload then you get a half ton. If you want 2,000 to 3,300 lbs payload then you get a three quarter ton. And if you want between 3,000 to 4,500 lb payload then you get a SRW one ton. If you want a payload of 4,000 to 6,000 lbs then you get a DRW one ton.
