Tundra vs PSD
A few weeks ago i was at the miller motorsports park just west of Salt Lake. There was a nice looking Tundra parked there on display. I stopped to talk to the sales guy..... he claims that the Tundra with the 5.7L V8 could pull my 10k 5er with no problems and that his buddy pulls a 15k 5er from SLC to Moab all the time, with ease....
call me crazy but i just can't see it. I sure would love to put it to the test....

You have a diesel. It was born to pull heavy ****.
My neighbor has a newer Tundra.
Just the other day he came over to me and asked if he could give me a few bucks for help hauling landscaping materials with the PSD..say's his Tundra just isn't up for the job and that he needed a "real truck" for the work.
This coming from someone who owns one.

I'm sure it could pull it and get 8.5 MPG, I would still rather pull with my 7.3 and get at least 10-12 MPG.

I pick #2 also, but the thing was still fast for a stock truck.

I guess if I wanted fast, I would buy a new GT500 or fix up my '67 fastback pony in the garage. 
Don't get me wrong, I love trucks with some giddy-up but they are a truck, made for hauling loads and working. That impresses me more.

I pick 2 as well and for the record my buddy from work has the new tundra and it won't leave a tire mark cause it has tractin control and you can't turn it off ha ha ha and it likes to eat the fuel pretty good
