Tundra - 4WD, Double Cab, 5.7L, AT, TRD, SR5, etc - $30,861

The main purpose of the upgrade is to pull a bike a couple times a year and an rock crawler once a month or so.

Pulling the rock crawler I think the Tundra would do a better job, not necessarily due to the power, but the weight, and the larger brakes. Not trying to get into or start another 4.7-5.7 argument; but the 4.7 is ~a grand or so less, but usually has had additional incentives to give it even more of an edge price wise, and it prob still slightly outperform the Tacoma in pulling and acceleration. The 5.7 seems to be a no brainer, but most with the 4.7 have no complaints. If money is not a consideration, just get the 5.7.
