Tundra's a great car, but my RAM is the truck!

The Tundra is a great replacement for my old Park Avenue, and even useful for hauling hay, it's comfortable and luxurious and drives like a Lexus. For a half tonner, it can't be beat. But towing my VERY aerodynamic Brenderup horse trailer with a couple of horses aboard requires driving at 68 mph in order to keep it in OD with the convertor locked up. Towing my motorcycle trailer with much more wind resistance keeps it in third gear almost all the time. Cruise control makes it shift constantly when towing, so I'll do all towing outside of town with my Cummins!
