I agree with looking at a 1500 Chevy/GMC or F150. I have owned my Silverado now since 4/14, it has 1900 lbs payload, plenty of power and as a daily driver I am averaging 18.4 mpg per week in the City (per truck display). At 65 mph on the highway I get 22-23 mpg. Towing- I still get the typical 10-12 mpg. There is nothing wrong with Toyota, we also own a new Camry that is a great car, but, when I compared the Tundra's towing numbers and gas mileage, I just could not justify buying the Tundra.
I have a '14 double cab 5.3 max tow (3.73 gears).
Been averaging 20-20.5 mpg as a daily driver. Only jumps to maybe 22 on the highway. Usually around 11 towing 7500 lb Laredo 274.
Coming out of 2500 D/A it's been an adjustment, but overall really happy with the truck performance.
