I hope this doesn't go into a "which is best".
I pull a 28 foot Komfort TT weights about 6,000 lb. +.
It is a 2014 Tundra Platinum. four door short box with cap and couldn't be happier. I go over the Cascade Mountains all the time and keep up with the traffic. My traveling partner which has a 31 foot TT and diesel Ram and lags behind on long grades.
My mechanic guy told me that he see very few Tundra in his shop compared to other brands. It is a stout rig. I thought the tire life of 38,000 was a little short. See what the new replacements tires get. So fare at 45,000 miles zero repairs and no factory defects or recalls except a new canvas bag for my jack (it had a new label, must be some dumb fed regulation).
The only down side I guess is the gas mileage and small gas tank (guess the new ones have a larger tank now). I get just under 10 MPG pulling and 16-17 MPG on the highway not pulling.
We are going into our fourth year and are very happy. I have not done anything special to our rig beside the standard WD hitch, electric brake hook up etc.
