  Why is there no toyota diesel

Us tractor guys have soft spots in our hearts for diesels, but the average city dweller does not. I think if the market was there, they would sell them. Isuzu made a nice little diesel pickup in the eighties. Not many people bought them.

The Tundra is a nice truck, but I wish Toyota made a real 1-ton with GCWR of around 20K lbs like C/F/D. I have a Ford dually diesel and fairly often run at that weight or a little more. The Tundra seems more equivalent to a 1/2ton.

Mark, does it show a gross combined weight rating? For trailer pulling, that is often the most important number.

Sounds like the Tundra would be considered to be a heavy duty half ton.

Pushing the limit....I hauled a Komatsu D31 (16K lbs) on my triple axle gooseneck and was right at 29,000 lbs GC. Seemed to do fine on the flats, and wasn't overloaded on any axle, but even with all the axles braking I wouldn't have wanted to make a panic stop. I think mine is rated at 19,500 GCWR and that is about right. If I keep it under 20k it runs cool and strong and stops well. Much over that and everything is maxed out. Not a smart thing to do...
