    Yeah, we make it, we buy it, and we send the money to Japan... Yellow_Flash_Colorz:

      I towed my 210 from California to Wisconsin and back with a 1/2 ton Suburban, no issues.

      I do like towing with my 3/4 ton Silverado, but I've also towed a 226 up to Lake Tahoe and back with a 1/2 Ton Chevy pickup with small engine (4.8 I think), and again, no problem.

        i towed my 2008 230 from Tenn. to Houston with no problems. Trans. got a little warmer in all the hills, but nothing unbearable.

          I have towed my 08 210 the past summer [ 6000 miles plus] with a 2001 GMC Safari van.
          It did have suspension upgrades and trans coolers but the 4.3 L V6 had plenty of power. The problem is its wheelbase is too short. It wouldn't handle mountains very well and in a emergency situation I was afraid the boat would steer the van. The new Tow pig is much better. 2005 GMC Savana 1 ton 6.0 L it actually gets better gas mileage than the Safari towing.

            I know it's not an "American" truck, but I still like it. I used to have a Chevy Silverado, just like the Yota better, for what it's worth...

              Toyota builds a fine vehicle I have owned a few. I was a line tech for a Olds - GMC dealer . I guess I'm just a GM guy.
              Now with Obama running it I may be looking for a new brand.

                      New Tundra with 5.7 L is a beast (401 ft-lb) and the 5.3L Ford engine is no match. Also avail in Sequoia and Landcruiser. If they (ford) build it they will come. Ford needs a diesel v8 small block. Then I will buy one.

                        my understanding is all 1/2 tons are getting them very soon.
