Currently got a turbo diesel dual cab and tows a fifth wheeler around the country which weighs an absolute farkin sh*tload...it pulls like there's nothing hitched. Much better drive and handling than anything with a toymota badge on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no end of problem with the tritons in our work fleet.. But I'm assuming they are given alot harder time than your old mans.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only issue he had with the current one was the rear diff, fixed under warranty and all is sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warranty fixed but we attributed it to bottoming them out in flood ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
