To get the biggest engine and most towing/payload you have to buy the highest grade they offer. Why can't GM offer this engine/trans/rear axle in the base model truck for people that want to tow and don't need all the fancy accessories?
Toyota offers the 5.7 with 4.3 rear end (highest tow capacity) in all their trim levels, starting at $25,000.
This is flat out not true. Toyota is not any better than anyone else in this respect. The regular cab Tundra in ONLY available with the V6. To get the 5.7 in a Double Cab you must select the Limited package. (starting at $41K) You can get a 5.7 in the "base" CrewMax model, starting at $35K. This info is all from Toyota's website.
This is flat out not true. I just traded a Grade Tundra Double Cab with a 5.7L You can buy any grade Tundra with any engine. The regular cab is only available with a long bed and the Crew Max only comes with a short bed, but any other combos are available.
