I don't think that you would be out of your mind to tow that with a half-ton, they wouldn't be rated to tow it if they couldn't do it safely enough.
Maybe in the old days, the 'half-ton' argument would have flown, but now these trucks are so far advanced that they are anything but actual "half-tons" anymore.

I will, gimme gimme, I wish I could get a diesel in a half-ton.

i thought not too long ago about looking into imports (when everyone was going insane over the stock market, and "the clock was ticking" on american manufacturing), but in the end i came to the conclusion that if its not broke dont fix it...... i like the way tundras look, but i dont trust its reliability..... i hear the titan is built pretty solid, but the front end is hideous,.... so i stayed with the f150, the only other american make that catches my eye is one of those gmc sierra denali's, but as for the f150 so what if i have absolutely no notable features on it, i just took it as a sign that maybe im not supposed to have all that stuff for now anyway.....

went to bass pro shop today with a buddy of mine and there was a lil tundra gig setup, one hooked up to a trailer with 10,000 lil lbs and a one with out one. i took it for a test drive with the 10,000 and what a piece of crap. couldnt get traction off the line, it had crappy all terrain on a 2wd towing that much if i wanted to get out of my own way for some reason i couldnt cause it would just spin. theres a 2 second delay on the throttle from idle and the shifting for towing was way too soft in my opinion, those clutches slipping like that only a matter of time before by by tranny. only decent thing was brakes but i got on em moderate and startin to slide wtf? lol, anyways there was a extended cab with the new supercharger and i told the guy whats the single cab run he said high 13s and i said the lightning ran low 13s stock and an way older truck. he said oh that out dated thing, yea that out dated thing will still win try again in another 10 years. but just thought i'd share my crappy test drive. sry for so long
There is nothing wrong with a tundra, ford, chevy, dodge whatever it is simply a choice we all have. I cannot for the life of me think of anybody i know that tows 10,000 pounds ever. I would never do it with a 1/2 ton Pickup if i had too.

You must not have many friends cuz I got all kinds that tow that much. My little toybox is pushing 7k and it's only 21 foot with 3 quad. Lets see get a F250 for 99% driving with nothing in the back and 1% towing all my toys. Nah I don't need it. F150 that can tow anything?? yah that I need.
Dude, you need to get out more.

I hate it when people say "dude" all the time. Anyways, Tundra's are crap, cheap and damn expensive. They have 1 so-called truck that claims to tow 10000 lbs, Ford has truck(s) that can tow up to 24000 lbs, so take your pick based on realistic needs. My truck can tow god knows how much, safely? Who knows, but I think I'd rather attempt 10k with mine that those Toy piles. Sorry, just can't get use to the idea of having nothing but jap cars around me, I like cars/trucks too much to justify them as bieng more than cheap mundane yuppy mobiles. Keep the change cuz it's only my 2 cents.
