Trouble is, it's not really a "tweener". In terms of payload or tow capacity, it's more like a regular F150 or Chevy half-ton, just heavier and with a diesel engine.
They spend a lot of time talking about how smooth the ride is, how much better it is than the big trucks. That also makes it sound like a regular half-ton, where you have to stiffen the suspension to properly handle max loads.
Maybe they'll come up with a HD Payload option like the F150. Stiffer suspension, heftier axles and wheels. Now that would be interesting and make it a real "tweener".
I agree, the numbers aren't really appealing to me. Its payload and tow rating are similar to the higher end of half tons. The fuel economy isn't that great. The tow ratings aren't that great.
It seems to be just a more expensive half ton... with a diesel... but without the benefits of a diesel (more power, better fuel economy, exhaust brake, etc). I don't know, it just seems to be an odd fit. Maybe we are seeing why Toyota didn't use it in 2016...
