    Hybrid or Gas for full-time camper? MPG guesses?

    I'm not actually. Am definitely considering other options. This thread was not intended to be asking for advice on ford/ram/tundra - I was simply trying to see if anyone had thoughts/experience with the fully-loaded hybrid situation, and if hybrid offered any advantage at all, if your truck was...

    Hybrid or Gas for full-time camper? MPG guesses?

    Yes, but isn't it a little weird to compare this to a Tacoma? Or even a 1st gen Tundra? 1st gen tundra - 6.6k lbs GVWR / 271HP, 313 lb-ft torque / 2022 Tacoma - 5.6k lbs GVWR / 278HP, 265 lb-ft torque / disc front 10.8" - drum rear 10" 3rd gen Tundra - 7.2k lbs GVWR / 389HP, 479 lb-ft torque /...

So we're talking the weight of a composite camper - should be around 800-900lbs for the shell model I'm getting. Add in 200lbs of water, 200lbs for...

    Hybrid or Gas for full-time camper? MPG guesses?

    Usually, I'd agree. Except in this case, I'm losing about 200lb of payload, but gaining a bunch of torque and HP. Obviously, I'm still limited by frame and suspension...although I can upgrade suspension. I'm leaning towards just the gas version. But as I still think I'll be right about at the...

    Hybrid or Gas for full-time camper? MPG guesses?

    Hello - thought I'd throw this question out there, see if there were opinions. I'm planning on purchasing a 2022 Tundra, crewmax 6.5ft later this year, either an SR5 TRD Off-Road, or a Limited with TRD Off-Road (both configurations would be more or less the same price, with the options I'd...
