an old friend had a 2001 tacoma with the trd package and it was waaay more capable than it looked, he pulled off the mud flaps and went mudding every weekend
if you really want a new truck then look at a frontier or Tacoma (i think the new ones are hideous personally) they get better mileage and wont kill you on maintenance or size (try parking a a titan or dually, hope you're a wizard)

Yeah, once you get spoiled with a duramax all that shit you listed is total dicks to drive.
Its not just the power, its the whole truck is designed to pull. Im not saying you need 3500 to pull a one car. But doing it in light trucks is gay as fuck if your going more than an hour away. Bare minimum 1500 imo. Chevy Sells the 1500HD which is the 2500 axles on the 1500 Frame/Engine, which would probably work pretty well.
Frontiers/Tacomas are wack in traffic, or any situation where you aren't just cruising down the highway. The brakes aren't up to it, and the thing is so light it gets bossed around on bad pavement really easily.
lol at park a Titan, if you can't get a Titan into a parking spot someone needs to take your keys away. Duallys are pretty easy too if you've driven it more than once, not that it matters because you can just take two spots and be lazy.
Oh yeah, just so everyone knows, The Titan/Tundra are equivelent to splitting a 2500/1500 gas domestic. The first year Titans/New Tundras have lots of issues.
Don't waste your time with the orignal Tundra, it doesn't even have enough power to get out of its own way.
