The Chevy 2500 &Ford F250 & The tundra all towed 7500 lbs. for comparison. The 5.7 Tundra SMOKED them 0-60,1/4 mile,45-65, and 60-0.  No mention of Silverado 1500 or Ford F150?  They also said " the F150,Ram,and Silverado guys had better get out of the rain".  Go to New & Used Trucks, SUVs, & Reviews at the Pickup & SUV Authority - Truck Trend Magazine tom read more. |
That's not surprising; Consumer Reports came to the same conclusion several months ago in their towing test. The Tundra pulled their 7,500 lb test trailer to 60 mph faster than any half ton by a very wide margin. Then, they tested the Tundra against the Diesels just for kicks. It beat all the Diesels to 60 mph too, with the DMax being the closest contender. It beat the DMax to 60 mpg by 1/2 a second.
