She won't squat

Just picked up a new F250 PSD 4x4. Hooked my bumper pull TH to her and wow - barely any squat compared to my Tundra ( no big surprise I suppose). Towed my toy hauler about a 150 miles the other day with her and all i can say is wow..what a beast

    Congrats on the upgrade. Tundra's are nice trucks but you're swinging in a different league now.

    Welcome to the big leagues. I love tundras, but would never own one because they don't make sense for me.

    That is why I always tell people with half ton towing problems to rent or borrow a three quarter ton pickup. The difference is significant. You probably doubled your payload capacity.

    It's amazing the difference in towing feel, Safety feel from a 1/2 to 3/4 to 1 ton pickup and now that I have a C4500 (2 1/2 ton) truck to tow my 5th wheel. It is like a dream to tow with.

    Much like a apples to oranges comparison! While the Tundra is a nice 1/2 ton, it is more designed for ride not carrying.

    Don't worry someone will be along to pick out a spec somewhere that you're not in compliance with and reccomend a dually!

    Nice truck btw......

    Dually, schmooley. Not in this house. The fenders would last one trip through the auto teller with my wife driving.

    I read that if you carry a box of donuts you won't have any problems
