Good feedback. How much weight were you towing? What was the issue? Lack of power? Trans hunting?
Not much one trip was a 14' flat bed with a 4 seat RZR and two dirt bikes. The Other trip was the same load but a 16' enclosed. Definitely always felt like it needed to downshift or was reving to the moon. Plus the Fuel economy was terrible. Trying to hold 75 mph on I15 you could see the fuel gauge move. Ive made the same trip with the Same 16' enclosed with the same rzr and two bikes with my 2002 5.3 chevy 1500 with 220K and felt it was very comparable in every way towing wise to the much newer tundra.Good feedback.

Two observations from another young(ish lol) father:
Car seats are huge. Once they are almost two- they get even bigger. I was basically forced to get rid of my supercab to upgrade to a crew cab for this reason.
Is there any prohibitive reason why you would want to add a single seat to the rear door side of your van?
I had a work van and traveled with my first son for the first two years of his life and took him almost everywhere with me it worked very well.
Having owned a Tundra and an F150, I liked the F150 more when towing. I had a 2014 with the Ecoboost. Awesome truck! The Tundra was nice too, and towed well for the limited time I used it, but I liked the F150 more.
Huge is what you want when loading up car seats.... The F150s seem huge to me...
I just took mine through a lot of the Maze district (but not the Dollhouse). I'm on 33's, an inch over stock, and that was before I leveled it. I did use the skid plates a couple times though.... and don't seem to have a lot of ground clearance.
It's been a long time(years) since I've heard any complaints about the intercooler condensation issue. On mine they added a cover that partially blocks the airflow, not that we tend to have the conditions around here that present the problem...Have they fixed the condensation issues with the ecoboosts?
