  Tundra needs sterioids

I guess it does not seem like too much of a stretch to place a larger diesel in the Toyota pick up. There must be some other reason for the reluctance. I guess you would need the pickup sales break down of 5 to 7 years ago when they made their decisions on the truck line.
The last stats indicated that diesel sales are now near 50/50 in the N/A market.
Anyone ever have a 70's Nissan Patrol? The engine was similar to the 240's with longer strokes for increased torque. Looked much like the short wheel base Landcruiser. It had tons of power and the thing would spin all four wheels on dry pavement. Naturally we tore up a few. Saw one raced at the drag strip. Very respectable in 4 wheel drive.

  Tundra needs sterioids

I really have not had nothing but Fords. except for my latest Dodge. For work trucks it is hard to get any truck without carpet etc.

One of the toughest trucks were the early 70's Dodge. A friend had one in the north with the slant 6, club cab and long bed. He was a gravel truck contractor so the thing carried a 150 gallon diesel tank in the back all the time. He constructed logging roads in the west coast so it was up and down mountains its whole life on the worst roads. He had bought it with the idea of converting it to a diesel after the gas engine dropped out as the Ford tractor diesel would drop in. Last I saw it it was still trucking with near 300K on the clock could not kill the slant 6.

I guess some of the confusion at the rental yard is our terminology.

I had always called a 1/2 ton pickup and thought that was its payload. Older pickup were close to that and Chevy offered the C10 in a full size. The new NA trucks are all at least 1500 lb payloads, F150, C15, D1500. My Ford F150 with the tow package would tow 8000lbs I believe.

What he is really looking for is a ton and a quarter 2500 lb. load rated pick up.

My Ram 3500 has a payload that is closer to 4000 lbs.
