Thanks Irak for finding the correct GCWR number... it was the one that kinda threw a flag and made me insert the "assuming" statement.
To OP: FWIW, even with the larger GCWR number, I think you're making a wise decision to go for a bigger truck.
I also didn't like the 2500 rpm at 60 mph.\
lol if you think 2500 is bad, you would be crying at 4k, where i sat when pulling with my subaru for 25k miles
2.5k simply means your out of overdrive, which is totally expected
if your uncomfortable fine, but i would load it weigh it and try to get it dialed in before changing vehicles, but thats just me
I tried, believe me, I tried. I love my truck so much that I bought a 100% aluminum toy hauler spending over $20k just to get one light enough to tow with my Tacoma. I'm literally sick to my stomach that I have a 7 month old truck that I now have to sell. Anyway, I tried moving stuff around, shifting weight, changing the WD hitch links, etc. No matter what the trailer moves around and makes the Tacoma feel too squirmy for my tastes, so she's got to go.
I pulled the trigger today on a F150 FX4 4x4. It will be almost double the GAWR and longer wheel base of 145". I didn't get the max tow package, but it should still tow up to about 9500#'s. I'm only needing to tow probably 5K, so the new truck should be good. Not supposed to tow until I get to 1k miles, so I didn't try it even though I really wanted to. I'll update you all after I get her hooked up and try it.
