That makes me lean towards my original recommendation a bit more honestly. Or even just a commuter kit with the progressive leaf pack and front springs. Either one will be immensely more enjoyable on forest service roads and not much more money at all.

ah didn’t realize that. They have been separate when I ordered both my 17 and 22.

I’d skip both packages and add a 2.5” Carli Backcountry kit with the appropriate leaf packs. Regardless of height the ride will be MUCH more enjoyable on forest roads etc. My 22’ on Carli rides so much better than my stock 17’ 350 on rough lease roads and forest roads. The 2.5” kit is basically...

I would skip the factory winch. $3K for a winch that’s not compatible with anything else. $3K will da*n near get you a Warn 12K Zeon and a nice winch bumper, or it will get you a Warn 12K VRS and winch bumper. The onboard 2K generator is the only thing I wish I had on my 22’ that you can get on...

I typically don’t tow with my Tundra, but occasionally do. Majority of my miles are in flat west Texas, although it does see some mountains semi regularly. I’m headed home from South Texas right now trying to maintain 80, and the gear hunting is atrocious. No trailer, maybe 500 lbs in the bed...

I’ve got 146K on my 19’ Tundra right now that’s my daily driver/company ride. I’ve had two other Tundras before this one. They all gear hunt bad. They’re reliable as the day is long, but that’s the only good thing I have to say about them. Ive got a 22’ Tundra should be arriving soon. I hope...

Y I hit on average 2-3 “large” animals a year. I drive a ton at night (80K+ miles a year, and probably a third of it at night), and usually through very thick hog and deer territory. Last year through Idaho I almost hit a moose, and 6 years ago in CO I almost plowed through a herd of elk. Not...

don’t swerve for animals. That’s even more stupid than overloading your vehicle!

I just sold a 4500 lb equipment trailer and 11K lb skid steer that the bucket weighed another 900 lbs. At one point I had trailer brake issues with it due to wiring, and my 350 would stop that damn near 17K lb load better without brakes than my Tundra will my 12’ trailer with a 2K lb side by...

This is my 3rd Tundra of this generation. All of them have sucked from new.

i daily drive a 19’ Tundra and have had two others in the last. I despise towing with them. Their brakes are horrendous. My wife’s 18’ 4Runner is the same. I’ve got roughly 30-35K towing on this generation Tundra and hate every minute of it lol Typically use my Super Duty for the tow pig, but...

And there is a huge difference in a trucks capability between towing and hauling.

Towing well below limit with that vehicle would suck far more than towing at limit with an actual truck. I log 25-30K a year towing anywhere from 5K to 25K and I’d much rather be well above legal capacities for a cross country trip on a Super Duty than tow 2K anywhere with that thing.

Holy ******** some people fall for advertising hook line and sinker ?

If you plan to run a slide in camper I can’t see a reason to not go 350/3500. That extra payload is a lot cheaper now than later on.

Crap! I just passed through Boulder yesterday on my way back to TX. I forgot about this lol Bump OP

Regardless of what axle or motor the truck has, an F250 or F350 is not even remotely close to being limited by its hardware. The limiting factor on these trucks is the little yellow sticker on the door.

Ive had well over 4K lbs in the bed of my SRW 350 and never felt like it needed more brakes. I always ran the exhaust brake though as well.

Tremors are identical except for the sticker on the door. M275, 10R140 transmission, same block and leaf pack. The 7.3 Tremor gets a lighter coil spring than the diesel Tremor, but it’s the same spring whether 250 or 350 as long as the motor is the same. Gas non tremors vary on leaf pack, block...

In which case you did your research wrong. The 250 comes standard with a Sterling 10.5” rear axle not a Dana 60. The 350 SRW comes standard with a Dana M275 rear axle not a Dana 80. The 250 can be optioned with the M275. The Sterling 10.5 was used in the 2011-2016 F350 SRW though, and is plenty...
