I have a 2004 Dodge diesel and have all of you beat on towing mileage.
Steez... where are the pictures of you actually pulling the Chevy out of the mud. The one I see is just you hooked up to the Chevy, still in the mud..stuck. my phone got covered in mud. Believe me. I tried to video it. It was hilarious. I towed Bocefus all the way to the road. I wasn't getting muddy, it wasn't my fault he was in a Chevy. Lol.

Well don't line up against an Ecoboost, in either truck, it will hurt your feelings.
actually, most the acceleration tests are pretty similar between the makes. While you will get different numbers everywhere you look, I will trust Car and Driver over numbers from Toyotas website. The gas mileage isn't there when the turbos are spooled up, but that instant torque cannot be replicated from the NA engines in the other trucks. Car and Driver Head to Head

I use a 4door Jeep Wrangler. I use it for my Nitro and also pull a 21' center console 5-6 times a year from DFW to Galveston. Not the best for the bigger, heavier boat, but it is ok. Wouldn't like a truck here, I hate driving them. No fun. The Jeep is a fun way to get around. Has close to 300hp, and gets 16-17 mpg when pulling, is a 4x4 , and a convertible. What's not to like? What's not to like? Maybe the inability to safely stop when something unexpected happens.

A Tundra is basically a 3/4ton. 5.7L plus 4.38 gears is a 3/4ton in my eyes. Compare it to a chevy 2500 with a 6.0 and 4.10s. Ect.

I pull a 21' center console and have never been in a situation where I felt like I needed more power. The 4-wheel disc brakes are nice. I wouldn't own another vehicle with drum brakes unless it was a pre-'73 classic of some sort. Not going to bash any other makes because I just don't know enough about them, but I am tickled pink with my Toyota. Hope to be driving it for many years to come.

They want videos, but they are the ones with GoPros. Haha.

How do I change my vote? I just picked up a new Moritz Chevy today!! Thanks Tony and Monte!! Thank you Chris and to all the others from the TFF/THF for the business! I obviously drive a Chevy! 6.2 liters pushing out 420 HP with 440 ft pounds of Tourq moving me 0-60 in 5.5 seconds and have not found her limit yet. I average 17mpg according to my onboard fuel management system as a 4x4. I have customers that get 18-22 with there 5.3litre 355 HP. I have always been a Chevy guy but I drunk the Toyota Juice for 1 year. 12 miles per gallon driving and 8 pulling my boat! Terrible just Terrible. As for Clay C, I hear the horror stories at least 3 times a month.

2008 Tundra owner here. 105k miles on it and still runs like a beast. That thing still amazes me how much power it has. I love it.
My Dad bought a 2012 Dodge ram and was bragging how much power it has and how fast it gets up. He only has about 25k miles on it now. I told him my Tundra would smoke him. We argue about it all the time. Good thing he lives in CA or we would have settled this already on a back country road. Well don't line up against an Ecoboost, in either truck, it will hurt your feelings. I would gladly line up next to a eco boost in my old wore out titan.

Chevy and GMC should be combined, since they are the same vehicle. Only the Chevy owner's claim this. Never heard a GMC guy say "Hey, my truck is just like a Chevy"
