I’ve been eyeing up a eatons 10 speed from a 5 or 10 ton truck for my dually they look like someone made a bigger a sm465Wish I could have a Ford F250 pick-up, with a Cummins Turbo Diesel, and an Allison 10-speed transmission in it.
Now that would be a pick-up!
Yup it’s a shame the Cummins engine is put in such a pile of $hit truck otherwise. You’d want a 350 though, the payload and pin weight is too low on a 3/4 ton truck when you add the diesel. My 2015 f250 6.7 had 1200 less payload than my buddies gasser just because of the gvwr.Wish I could have a Ford F250 pick-up, with a Cummins Turbo Diesel, and an Allison 10-speed transmission in it.

Think their coming out with a dually this year.
I had a cummins 24v and the famous 53 block.
Yota would need a whole new platform . The current Tundra doesn't even have the capacities of the f150.
The newer f150 has no capacity for towing what so ever the frames are so thin you can cut them with tin snips and the body’s peel open like pop cans. I’m a ford guy But not interested in the newer stuff dodges up here don’t last 5 years without something rusting off.
Yeah but you put an empty 26ft car hauler on the hitch of one with the IRS rear end and she squats and that’s with a weight distribution hitch. My ranger can haul more after I put in a set of $20 helper coils. The frames won’t last in southern Ontario without oil spray anyway. their main selling point here is the “military grade”(read this a s***y)aluminum body. but when the frame is 12ga sheet metal don’t matter yeah it’s a clam shell and that heads extra strength but when the salt spray gets to it(lots of open holes in the frames for it to get into) it won’t be for long.
Yes unfortunately it is and I had to deal with it lots in my last few years as an auto body technician since those plastic welders came out anyway we fixed bumpers more then replaced them.I'm not in the market for a new pick-up. Good thing too, as I'd have a real challenge picking the best one.
As far as I'm concerned, all new(er) vehicles aren't anywhere's close to the quality that I'm used to seeing from older vehicles.
Plastic seems to be the new steel.
The current tundra as in the brand new one? If so you should probably look again but I’m not exactly sure. The big 3 probably don’t want yota to get into the hd diesel game. I’d love to see it because I’ll never buy another American vehicle and I’d love to see dodge go belly up for good.
The 2022 Tundra payload 1740 to 2300 lbs towing 12,000 pounds . That a half ton range truck, bigger engine isn’t going to make the rest of the truck heavy duty no V8 option . It’s got 6 lugs wheels .
Yes they are super simple. My comment was more in reference to the newer generation stuff - the older Japanese Era steel in these parts have been off the roads for decades now except for the rare one that's been stuffed in the back corner of a barn, like mine. It gets used to run the property, back roads and lease roads and an occasional trip to town in the summer. It hasn't seen a snowflake in probably 30 years and that's a good part of our climate. It spends a lot of time sitting for preservation purposes.
If you go back to my original post, I said Toyota not Tundra anyway. They build things for overseas that don’t make it here.
