Yes, I was exaggerating... a little bit...if the Toyota is rated at 300hp, it's probably down to around 160-170hp near the peak and you will notice it.
381 hp at sea level is 255 hp at 11,000 ft. The Tundra 5.7 is certainly not lacking in power up to and beyond its payload and towing ratings, even at extreme elevation.

Isn't the top of that pass around 11,000ft. With a naturally aspirated engine you lose something like 3-4% per 1000ft above sea level, so your current truck is probably putting out the power of a smart car near the top..
Now that's some funny stuff. :B
SmartCar 2014 is 70 hp.
The gassers are 70 HP. My diesel smart car is 44 HP. More torque though. 🙂

If you are considering diesel look at all three, you can find a Dmax or Cummins in newer years that will knock your socks off.
why people think Ford is the only way to go is crazy.
Loyal Ford owner for 43 years, I chose to go with the Ram/Cummins for a Diesel. Never looked back.
Yes my Cummins has 280,000+ miles and is still towing strong, that is the beauty of a diesel.
I thought the same so we gave a 5.9 cummins RAM a try for our farm/ranch use. After constant phone calls of needing to foot the bill for a repair I finally decided to cut my losses and purchase another 7.3 PSD Super Duty. And this is from a long time GM owner.
BTW... My wallet is a witness to the above. :M
Fish your crappy money pit Cummins story is getting old. Not all are good, but you Likely bought someone's beat up truck!
