I am facing this dilemma now. For me personally I do not feel comfortable towing a 3000 lb boat with a 6 cyl. . My F150 4 wheel drive small V8 has been adequate the last several years but I am thinking about going for at least a 5.3 v8. I tow 50 miles each way usually and I could always feel that the small 8 was straining a little to much for my liking. To each his own but that is my feeling. I have nothing bad to say about Toyota at all, my wife just bought a new Rav 4 and we love it but if I was going to tow something in that range and wanted Toyota I would think Tundra if it was I, unless you are just using it for limited towing. 4 or 5 times a week towing I would opt for the larger vehicle, but that is just me. Good luck with your hunt. P.
