One of my friends out east HAD a tundra that he towed his 18' bass boat with UNTIL driving cross country. He said the tundra was all over the place and you constantly knew you were towing something. It was a complete chore for the Toyota. Later in the trip as he approached Boston en route from L.A. a truck jack-knifed in front of him. He totaled the tundra, the trailer and boat had minimal damage. In fact, he never fixed the boat (just bumps and bruises). This year I met him again to fish and he had a new Silverado with 4 wheel steering. He let me tow the boat around and drop it in the water. This was my FIRST attempt at backing up a trailer (into the water for that matter), and I did perfectly a 10.0. Not bad for my first time but I think the 4 wheel steer did most of the work. I know Ford makes good stuff its just more of a friendly rivalry for me since I grew up with GM. Toyota, on the other hand, is inexcusable.
