Not bad, I figured they would be a little more than that.

I just don't know what Toyota was thinking putting "TRD" on the sides of their trucks. I know I know, it's an acronym for "Toyota Racing Development", but try pronouncing the three letters together and you get my point. I do like Toyota trucks though, very durable.

I like the fact that the Tundra retains its stock carrying capacity of about 1400 lb. The Ford Raptor, rated at 980 lb, loses quite a bit of the stock F150's load capacity.

The Ram Power Wagon, with carrying capacity of more than 1800 lb, remains the choice if you need off-road capability plus the ability to carry stuff.

P(passenger) rated tires again?
What's the Cummins equipped Tundra going to run. One thing I know,it will come with LT tires.

That is great carrying capacity but I don't think it is fair to compare the three. They all are set up for totally different environments. Besides if you are buying one of these trucks it is not for the carrying capacity.

I guess the Raptor is an ExPo-worthy vehicle, provided you're just carrying sleeping bags and a couple of MREs. Or if you have a second truck to carry the camping gear.

I have seen photos of a Raptor outfitted with a Phoenix pop up camper. I imagine the rear suspension is millimeters from the bump stops with the camper on board. Or they had to add airbags to the rear suspension. In my opinion, better to get a truck designed to carry the weight you need.

I don't think the Raptor was built for the expo scene just like the TRD and the power wagon were not built to go running through the desert. Comparing different rigs.

Just toss on some new rear springs and you're good to go. Air bags can be fussy.

Even with me being a Toyota fan. That new F150 2.7 Ecoboost has my attention over any other new rig though. They are claiming 27 mpg hwy in the 2WD model, so perhaps the 4WD will be around 23-25? RCLB with a FWC, maybe 20 mpg hwy....sounds like a decent setup for a single guy or a couple.

Toyota really needs to step it up in the fuel economy department.
