Gooseneck/bumper pull

The Luke · Jan 9, 2020

@redneckengineered I was just asking what your first hand experience is. I've towed with both. And I bought the Tundra. And I plan on buying another one eventually.

@TBItoy you're pretty much spot on. Except the 2007+ 5.7's come at 400+ hp from the factory and almost 450ft lbs. 6spd. 4.30 gears are standard in all tundras also.

Toyota says 381hp/401tq

:dunno:

@TBItoy my fault. I was including the added hp from my hardline stickers.

would you put a slide in camper in it and tow a high boy bumper pull with bounty hill ramps?

what? and my truck isnt the prettiest thing or the fastest thing but it tows the hay trailer, my jeep, and the tractor when needed so i'm happy with it.

@jeeptj99 listen here Cummins boy. I can't tell you how many times you didn't come to gmp because you're clutch was falling out or whatever.

That's fixed now. apparently 320k on a factory clutch is to much. I've got a sweet valair in it now.

There is a guy over on NC that did what your talking about:

After 2 yrs of that setup he sold the truck camper and went enclosed:

He eventually went to this, if it tells you anything. But towed with the Tundra for 4yrs.

Is he a midget? how the **** would someone get in that camper if that door is that short.

Zjman · Jan 9, 2020

So a new f150 makes 395/400 does that qualify as a 3/4 ton truck? I'm sorry but I may be old but that's the class of truck I put a tundra in

@jeeptj99 it's a popup genius.

The Luke · Jan 9, 2020

@redneckengineered hurry! Upload the pictures to the big dumb load thread!!!! We wouldn't want the trolls left at pirate to miss out on anything!

@paradisepwoffrd I'd love to have that 2500 dodge. But it's just not in the budget. And I feel like my junk is too fat to fit in most enclosed trailers(that are in my budget).

I'll probably pickup a lightweight slide in at some point. Keep the bumper pull and defy all laws of logic and internet wisdom.

But I think we can all agree, that no matter what I do, it still makes more sense than JD's motorcycle tie down jobs.
