I would not be looking at a 3/4 ton truck. The Tundra does just fine with my trailer so no sense going bigger. Did put LT tires on when I changed but kind of regret that right now. Don't really think it was worth the extra money.

I'd like to hear more about the tire experience too. Is towing w/ the LT tires any better?

I went to the LT tires because I do tow the trailer on some long distance trips such as Ontario to Florida and some 500 - 600km trips around the province. Everything I read said that towing would be more stable. I found the Tundra a very stable platform for towing even with the OEM BF Goodrich P-metric tires. In the 2 years towing with the LT tires, cross winds, head winds, trucks going by I don't really see the difference. The Tundra is as stable as it was before, no better no worse. I don't find the ride too much stiffer either. I put on Michelin M/S 2 LTs. From my perspective and after towing with the LTs for about 8000 km, I would not pay the extra next time around. Maybe it is just that the Tundra is more stable than other TVs from the factory that the LTs did not make a significant difference, at least from my perspective. And I have them inflated per Michelin at 55 PSI and go to 60 when towing. Others may have noticed a difference but not from my experience anyway.
