it was the 'hybrid' technology they were selling +20 years ago.. how'd that 46 MPG work out for ya? L O L

But Kim, in Canada you are not immune from the all-powerful "statist media." They are so incredibly effective that you really want to trade in your current truck for a 1975 Pontiac Acadian (aka the Canadian Chevette). With the "rally package," you could probably tow your 28' Classic. You just don't realize it yet... probably the cold slowing the synapses. You see, Kim, we Americans were too stupid...

There are psychological explanations for these syndromes, though our wives may attribute to the Y chromosome. Gene

Quote: Myself, wife and daughter plus 3 bikes, 2 Honda 2000's, and 2 inflatable kayaks I would bet that your were at or over the Titans payload limit. Get it scaled to be safe. Payload limit was one of the reasons I went with a 3/4 ton.

I also like the Tundra. Fine vehicle. Just not the one for towing the 25' Safari. I agree, the max tow values are misleading. Take a look under the Tundra, then look under the Silverado. BIG difference in beefiness. Quality, get the tundra, but towing capacity, get the Chevy. And I encourage all to run the numbers on the referenced spreadsheets. Convinced me. Towing Vehicles: smiting by the numbers.
